Deceive Your Own Eyes


We are distinguished by our different features, yet we all contour them differently which creates a different shape to their original one. Let’s talk about our eyes today.

We will focus on small eyes, many of us who are distinguished for their small eyes tend to contour them to make them look bigger. 

One cool way of doing so is by contouring the outside corner of our eyes with a brown, navy blue or black eyeliner in a V shape starting with the upper lashes down to the bottom lashes. Add a flick for fun, and pencil in your waterline with white eyeliner for an extra pop.

Try it to love it!

No lids? No Problem.




We all have similar yet different features at the same time. What do I mean by that? There are the wide eyes, the small eyes, the round eyes, the big lids, the small lids, the no lids.. and the list goes on.

The most ones that put eye shadow the least are the women with small lids that when the eyes are open, it looks like there are no lids at all. Often these women are upset about this, but here are a few tricks to make the best out of what you’ve got:
  • Apply highlighter on your brow bone and inner corners of your eyes to make the eyes appear bigger then they really are
  • Don’t apply a thick eyeliner on your eyelids, instead smudge in a brown pencil very close to your upper lashline, and add lots of mascara to hold your eyes up
  • Apply concealer under your eyes to enlarge the area around your eyes
  • Apply white or beige eyeliner in your water line
  • Finally, sweep light brown shadow on your bottom lashline and apply one coat of mascara there too


Have fun experimenting more once you’ve mastered these rules above J
