Use make-up to flatter your features as it will not change them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-makeup-advice-changing-eye-shape#post-1640947 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 17:30:45 +0000 Thin White Duchess 1640947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could also try browsing the Reddit community MakeupAddiction. Lots and lots of stuff there.

Many, many Chinese and Korean women undergo cosmetic surgery to make their eyes appear bigger. (Which I find sad, fwiw.) This is truly fascinating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-makeup-advice-changing-eye-shape#post-1640925 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 16:52:26 +0000 Peri 1640925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, now I've heard everything! All the eye makeup info I've ever read is centered on making your eyes look bigger...never before have I heard of anyone wanting smaller looking eyes. Truly, we women are too hard on ourselves!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-makeup-advice-changing-eye-shape#post-1640923 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 16:48:48 +0000 deb 1640923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a few YouTube videos. </p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrjKj_RvOjE" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrjKj_RvOjE</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCCOPDR8EaY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCCOPDR8EaY</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1WNxcyqAP4" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1WNxcyqAP4</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-makeup-advice-changing-eye-shape#post-1640864 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 15:49:26 +0000 rachylou 1640864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with a darker eyeliner on the waterline... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-makeup-advice-changing-eye-shape#post-1640788 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 14:43:00 +0000 Ginger 1640788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am NOT an expert. But ironically, I have those smaller eyes, and work hard to open them up! So I have some experience in doing the reverse.</p> <p>Like Lara said, do experiment with eyeliner. Liner on the waterline may work. Also try leaving it off entirely on the lower lid. Allison Harvard's eyeliner accentuates the large, round shape.&nbsp; </p> <p>You can also use liner on the upper lid to straighten out the shape. Stay close to the lashes at the center and top, but don't curve all the way down to the outer corner. Straighten it out slightly and draw above the lashes. It might help to lengthen it past the corner, too, maybe (or maybe not) with a flick.</p> <p>Other things: Don't emphasize the size of the eye socket with dark shadow. &nbsp;<br /> A lighter color on the brow bone, and in the center and inner corner, will de-emphasize the size of the eye. But to try using some dark shadow in and above the outer crease. I think I see it on picture #2.</p> <p>#2 shows some interesting effects with white liner at the inner corner, emphasizing the downward curve. Since this is her natural eye shape, it may not work for you; but you might try drawing it in (faking it) with a dark liner. Use a good liquid for very fine lines. Dabs of white shadow can do interesting things, too.</p> <p>Definitely look at eyebrow shaping. Straight brows will do a LOT to minimize round eyes.&nbsp; In #1, the light space between the end of the brow and the outer corner of the eye shows how round her eyes are.&nbsp; You can minimize that by shaping the brows lower, and using dark shadow in the outer crease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-makeup-advice-changing-eye-shape#post-1640767 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 13:41:26 +0000 Anonymous 1640767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I am only guessing here, but I would think that if you concentrated a dark eyeliner in the waterline would make your eyes appear smaller. Also stay away from light eyeshadows and little or no mascara, since mascara makes your eyes appear larger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-makeup-advice-changing-eye-shape#post-1640763 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 13:35:48 +0000 Anonymous 1640763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no idea, but I'm anxious to see the suggestions that our YLF'ers offer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-makeup-advice-changing-eye-shape#post-1640760 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 13:34:52 +0000 Amaranthine 1640760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>. </p>
