To create the appearance of more upturned eyes, focus on eyeliner techniques that emphasize a lifted outer corner, particularly a winged eyeliner style.
Here's how you can achieve the upturned eye look:
-
Winged Eyeliner Technique: The primary method involves creating a winged eyeliner look. The angle and thickness of the wing significantly impact the upturned effect.
- Start with a thin line along your upper lash line, gradually thickening it as you move towards the outer corner of your eye.
- Instead of extending the wing straight out, angle it upwards towards the end of your eyebrow. This creates the illusion of a lifted eye.
- Experiment with the length and thickness of the wing to find what best suits your eye shape. Consider using a product like the Tattoo Studio Ink Pen for precise application and long-lasting wear. Its rich black shade can help define the eye shape effectively.
-
Lower Lash Line Emphasis (Optional): If desired, you can subtly define your lower lash line, but avoid connecting it directly to the upper wing. This prevents the eyes from looking closed off and maintains the upturned effect. Consider using a light eyeshadow or eyeliner pencil for a softer look on the lower lash line.
-
Eyeshadow Techniques: Eyeshadow can further enhance the upturned effect.
- Apply a lighter eyeshadow shade on the inner corner of your eye and blend it outwards.
- Use a slightly darker shade on the outer corner, blending it upwards towards your brow bone. This creates a gradient that visually lifts the eye.
-
Eyelash Enhancement:
- Curl your eyelashes to open up the eyes.
- Apply mascara, focusing on the outer lashes, to further enhance the lifted effect. You might also consider individual false lashes placed on the outer corners of the eyes for a dramatic, upturned look.
-
Brow Shaping: Well-groomed brows can also contribute to an upturned appearance. Ensure your brows are neatly shaped, with a slight arch that lifts the face and complements the eye shape.
By strategically using these makeup techniques, you can successfully create the illusion of more upturned eyes.
