When choosing shades of decorative cosmetics, you need to understand that light shadows visually enlarge the eyes, while dark shadows, on the contrary, make them smaller. But this does not mean at all that owners of small almond-shaped eyes cannot use dark shades of eye shadow. Of course they can, only correctly: the inner corners of the eye are covered with lighter shadows until the middle of the eyelid, then you can make a smooth transition to darker shades, directing the lines towards the temple.
With eyes this size, the shape of the eyebrows is very important. The shape should be symmetrical, and the eyebrows themselves should not be very thick. The eyeliner should not be thick, otherwise the size of the eyes will visually decrease. It is better not to draw a line along the entire length of the eyelid; we start the line closer to the middle of the eye and extend it beyond the outer corner of the eyelid. It is better if the contour is softly shaded.
Large almond-shaped eyes can be brightly outlined with any contour; it will only emphasize the shape and slightly reduce the size.
With this eye shape, you can use mascara with a lengthening effect. If you apply it to the outer corner of the eye, it will further lengthen the beautiful shape of the eyes. It is possible to use false eyelashes. Bunches on the outer edge of the eyelid will look especially impressive.

Then the fold is retouched with a darker, cool tone. All lines are drawn towards the outer corner of the eye. As a result, the eyes will be more open. You should not place the mirror on the side. All lines are drawn with the mirror positioned directly opposite the eyes.
Then a light highlight under the eyebrow line and the lightest tone in the inner corner of the eye. The darkest shade of shadow is applied to the outer corner of the eyelid. You should not get carried away with the arrows, as they can emphasize the overhang of the fold.

Be careful with makeup for almond-shaped eyes
When working on makeup for cat eyes, you need to be extremely careful. By overdoing it with the application of decorative cosmetics, you can spoil the image of a beauty, turning it into something ugly and vulgar.
- Eyelashes with such gorgeous eyes do not require adding additional volume, much less lengthening. Therefore, it is better to use regular mascara without unnecessary additional effects;
- Eyebrows are a woman's main weapon. Therefore, special attention must be paid to their care. Eyebrows should be thin, turning into a smooth curve. But thick and wide ones will add several years to a woman and give her facial expression a gloomy and gloomy look;
- To match the image of a beautiful and sensual diva, lipstick in sensual shades is best suited. Lip gloss, on the contrary, will ruin the aristocratic image.
For women with small eyes who want to visually lengthen their shape, well-applied oriental or Arabic makeup is suitable. It consists of gradually applying dark and light golden shades to the upper and lower eyelids. You should start from the outer corner of the eyelid, applying a dark brown shade, then dark golden to the middle of the eyelid, and light gold to the corner. All shades are carefully shaded so that all colors smoothly transition into one another.
Shades on the inner corner and middle of the eyelid are best applied with a brush dipped in water. It is wetted so that the shadows do not fall off and so that the shade becomes more saturated. Afterwards, Arabic arrows are drawn and eyelashes are painted. For this type of makeup, it is better to choose the most lengthening mascara.
What makes eyes expressive and beautiful? First of all, their natural form. Almond-shaped eyes are considered ideal. According to experienced makeup artists, this particular shape does not require any additional adjustments with cosmetics, because their lines are absolutely correct. This, of course, does not mean that they do not need cosmetics at all. Makeup is definitely necessary. At the same time, it must be performed using brushes specially designed for this purpose, designed specifically for eyes of this shape.
Almond-shaped eyes in the outer corner gradually turn into a beautiful natural wing. This form is more common among beautiful women of the East, although they are not uncommon among European women. These eyes are considered the most sexy.
You need to understand that they can be both large and small, so makeup must be done individually.
How can you tell if you have exactly these eyes? If the outer and inner corners are located at the same height, and the distance between the inner ones is equal to the length of the organ of vision, then we can conclude that these are almond-shaped eyes.
Makeup is selected depending on their color. The shade of the shadows should be chosen so that it matches the color of the iris, but is a little darker. You can also choose other colors, but they must be compatible with the shade of your eyes. In most cases, creamy, gray, pink, white, brown and black shadows are suitable. A light eyeliner can be an effective addition.
You need to start creating makeup with your eyebrows. They should not be wide so as not to burden the eyes, and too light so as not to deprive them of expressiveness. It is best to tint your eyebrows with brown or dark gray shades. They need to be shaped curved, not round, so as not to spoil the effect. There should be a certain amount of amazement in the eyebrows, like Scarlett O'Hara's.
Along the growth line of the upper eyelashes, draw the eyes with a light pencil. We shade the outer corners with a dark tone, the inner corners with a lighter tone. If you use liquid eyeliner, then do not brush the entire perimeter of the eyelid, but only to the middle. There should be no overdoing with shadows or eyeliner. Also, do not make arrows that are too catchy and long, so that the look does not become slightly strange.
If they are almond-shaped, then they should be highlighted so that they are more noticeable. The outer corner should be emphasized with light silver shadows. It would be best to shade the border between different shades well, so that there are no sharp outlines that visually make the eyes smaller and narrower.
Round eyes should be visually lengthened using thin arrows. It is better not to use shadow tweezers; in this case, you should choose matte ones. But the eyebrows can be made a little thicker than is customary for this type of eye.
If you should avoid using dark shadows, it is better to opt for light ones or use shimmering ones.
Almond-shaped eyes will become more expressive if you use lengthening mascara, applying it in one layer. You need to be especially careful when choosing eyeliner. Too dark tones will visually make the eyes smaller, which is unacceptable for this shape. It is better to use contours of two colors for this. Draw a thin line with a black pencil, stepping back slightly from the lash line to make a little blend of the eyeliner and highlight the inner corners with a light pencil. This will make your eyes appear larger and your gaze will become deeper.
By the way, according to psychologists, owners of such eyes are quite active people and very interesting people.

- orange;
- dark brown;
- chocolate;
- white;
- grey;

In addition to the listed shades, pay attention to the shades of cool tones. Pale pink, turquoise, soft blue and the color of the night sky add mystery and a certain fairy-tale quality to the image, which cannot but fascinate.
The makeup for blue almond-shaped eyes is somewhat different from others. In this case, stylists recommend using black eyeliner to make the look more expressive. Just remember to make indents from the lash line so as not to narrow your already narrow eyes. The color of the eye shadow and pencil should not match the shade of the iris, otherwise you risk becoming the owner of dull eyes. To prevent the eyeliner from spreading and remaining in its original form until the end of the evening, treat it with a thin layer of powder on top.

- Don't use eyeshadow that is the same shade as your iris. It is preferable to choose turquoise shades.
- Pure brown makeup makes the eyes look sore and puffy. Swap it out for coffee, clay or copper shades.
- You cannot use red, hot pink or terracotta tones without eyeliner. Otherwise, you will get the impression of a person who did not get enough sleep.
Advice! The key to the success of effective and harmonious eye makeup is the even distribution of shadows. Transitions should not be visible.
