but what sort of makeup tips and eyeshadows can I use despite my small eyelids ? thankyou xEye tips for girls with small eyelids ?
Our souls can be seen in our eyes. True! eyes are the mirror of the mind. Our eyes portray what we feel and what we have in our mind. Rabindranath Tagore once wrote that '; shey je jotoi kalo hok dekhechi tar kalo horin chokh'; meaning that a person can be dark in complexion but the dark black eyes like a deer is what makes him attractive. Thus eyes are the very important part of the face that can change the overall facial structure of a person. Eyes of some people are crystal clear and express a lot of the things.
There are numerous ways to make your eyes look attractive. The basic concept is to shade the eyes to accentuate its shape, or to change its shape by using a progression of light to dark colors across the eye, blending one over the other so that one can create various colour tones to make the eye look attractive. Here you can follow a step by step, ';how to use one eye shadow or several different eye shadows to create a well-blended, classic eye-makeup design';. Even for the most formal eye-makeup design, four different colors should be used. Whether you use one, two, three, or four different eye shadows, they become a full eye makeup design when worn with eyeliner, temple contour, and mascara.
Design one: This design blends one soft, subtle color all over the eye area, from the lashes to just under the eyebrow. Remember that you should not wear only a splash of color over the eyelid and ignore the rest of the eye area.
Application: When applying a single color, first apply it from the lashes to the crease using a large round shadow brush or shadow softening brush. Make sure that you do not extend the color into the inside corner of the eye (off the lid area) or out beyond the lid onto the temple.
Next, place the color from the crease up to the brow, following the entire length of the eyebrow from the nose out to the temple area. Avoid leaving a hard edge at the back (outside) corner of the eye where the eye shadow stops. If desired, use a Soft Blending eye brush that you can easily get in the market. This will create subtlety and a soft highlight under the eyebrows. Because the eye shadow for the one-color eye-makeup design is so soft and subtle, blending and application is quite easy. The best colors for this design include light tan, neutral taupe, beige, pale mauve brown, pale gray, light golden brown, camel, and light auburn. Whatever the color, it should definitely not be obvious.
Design two: This is the most common, practical eye design. Approach this design by applying the lighter color to the eyelid and the deeper color from the crease up to the brow, or you can apply the deeper color to the lid and the lighter color from the crease to the brow. Generally speaking, the under-eyebrow color should be a shade or two darker than the lid color. You do not want it to be a distinctly different color, just a different shade. The lid can be coloured taupe, beige, tan, camel, gray, light auburn, golden brown, or any light neutral shade, and the under-eyebrow color should be a deeper shade of the same color. Women with darker skin tones can wear muted rose, mauve, or peach as long as it doesn't make their eyes look irritated or isn't too obvious. Bright, noticeably shiny, or whitish shadows can look dated and make the brow bone look more prominent and heavy.
Which color and what shades go where? The general rule is that the larger or more prominent the eyelid area is compared with the under-brow area, the darker or deeper the eyelid color can be; the smaller the eyelid area is compared with the under-brow area, the brighter or lighter the eyelid color can be. The notion is that if the eyelid area is already prominent or large, it isn't necessary to make it appear any bigger by applying a light color to it. If the eyelid area is small, it is appropriate to make it more prominent by wearing a lighter color.
Application: Whichever way you choose to apply this design, the lid and under-brow shades should meet but not overlap at the crease. You can use Large Round Shadow Brush or Small Round Shadow Brush to apply the light shade to the lid and a Defining Brush or Angled Shadow Brush to apply the darker shade from the crease up to the brow. Then, using a small wedge brush or a Brow Brush, you can use the light color again as a highlight just along the lower edge of the eyebrow. This can bring dramatic, but subtle, attention to the shape of the brow and the eye without the need for another eye shadow color.
Eye shadow Tips
Matte powder eye shadows in an array of neutral tones from light to dark are your best bets for a classic, sophisticated eye design that accents the shape and color of your eyes. Unless you're using just one eye shadow color, use at least two eye shadow brushes for application.
Prep the eyelid and under-brow area with a matte-finish concealer, foundation, and/or powder before applying eye shadow. This ensures a smooth, even application and (if you have fair to medium skin) will also neutralize the red and blue coloration of the eyelid. Tap off any excess eye shadow from your brush before applying-this will prevent over application as well as flaking eye shadow.
If you really want to make the color of your eyes pop, choose a contrasting color in a soft tone and apply this to the lids. Blue eyes come alive with pale peach or cantaloupe hues, green eyes seem richer with light bronze or caramel tones, hazel eyes become more alluring with chestnut and golden brown shades, and brown eyes are nicely accented by almost all neutral tones.

In the first part of the Eye make up we had seen some special ways of decorating your eyes. In this section we see more ways of making your eyes look beautiful and sensuous.
Eye-Design Mistakes to Avoid
Do not over color the eyes; excessive bright colors are distracting, not attractive.
Do not create hard edges; you should not be able to see where one color stops and another starts. Practice your application and learn to blend well.
Do not wear bright pink or iridescent pink eye shadows; they make eyes look irritated and tired. Muted or pale pink is an option.
If you are concerned about making skin look more wrinkled, do not wear shiny eye shadows of any kind because they exaggerate the appearance of lines. If you have smooth, unlined eyelids and prefer a touch of shine, apply it sparingly for subtle shimmer rather than distracting glitter.
Do not apply lipstick or blush over the eye area; it might sound like a time-saver, but if you have a lighter skin tone, it can make you look like you've been up all night crying. However, bronzing powders can work as eye shadows.
Do not match your eye shadow to your clothing or your eye color. If you have blue eyes, blue eye shadow makes the blue of your eyes look duller. And complementing your clothing is at best dated; besides, what if you're wearing red or black?
Avoid eye glosses and other greasy products at all costs. These may look intriguing in photographs, but are more annoying than alluring in real life because they stick, smear and smudge all over the place in a very short period of time.
Eyelining Tips: Line the upper lash line with a dark shade of matte powder eye shadow (wet or dry) applied with an eyeliner brush. You can even use a pencil to draw the fine line on the eyelashes. Use a lighter shade of powder or pencil to line the lower lash line.
Draw a line from the inner to outer corner using one fluid stroke, following the curvature of the eyelid. Do not extend the line past the outer corner of the eye or hug the tear-drop area of the eye. To start, keep the line as thin as possible, and if a thicker line is desired, repeat the process either across the entire lash-line or simply on the outer third of the lid along the lashes.
How thickly can you line the eye? As a general rule, for a classic look, the thickness and intensity of the eyeliner is determined by the size of the lid-the larger the eyelid area, the thicker and softer the eyeliner should be. The smaller the eyelid area, the thinner and more intense the liner should be. If your lid doesn't show at all, forget lining altogether.
What about applying eyeliner in the rim of the eye? There are many reasons why this is not a good idea. The first is that this kind of application smears in a very short period of time. Pencil applied along the rim of the eye usually causes the area to become irritated; after all you are putting a foreign substance next to the mucous membrane of your eye.
Which eyeliner color should you use? For a classic eyeliner application, choose shades of dark brown, gray, or black eye shadow for the upper lid and a softer shade of those-tan, taupe, chestnut, soft brown, soft gray, or soft black-along the lower lashes. Eyeliner is meant to give depth to the lashes and make them appear thicker. If the liner is a bright color or a true pastel, attention will be focused past the lashes to the colored line, as opposed to the more subtle flow of color from dark lashes to dark liner.
Checking for Mistakes
After using powder eye shadow as eyeliner, check for drippies under the eye and on the cheek. Drippies are those little powder flakes that fly off the brush and land on the cheek. Knocking off the excess from the brush every time helps prevent drippies, but there will always be flakes that end up where they don't belong. The best way to go after drippies is to use your sponge and simply wipe them away
Eyeliner Mistakes to Avoid
Do not use greasy or slick pencils to line the lower lashes; they smear and smudge.
Do not use brightly colored pencils or eye shadows to line the eye; they are distracting and look like too much makeup. All you'll see is the color and not your eye.
Do not extend the eyeliner beyond the corner of the eye.
Do not make the eyeliner more prominent.
Do not line the inside rim of the lids, between the lash and the eye itself; it is messy and can be unhealthy for the cornea.
Do not apply thick eyeliner to small or close-set eyes.
Do not use eye shadow as eyeliner unless you use the proper brush.
Do not line the eye with a circle of dark or bright color. Both are too obvious and create an eyeglass-style circle around the eye.
Do not over blend, spilling your eyeliner onto the skin under the lower lashes; that makes dark circles look worse.
