How do you make your eyes close together?

Published in Makeup Techniques 2 mins read

You can create the illusion of eyes that are closer together by strategically extending your eyebrows towards your nose.

Here's how to achieve this effect using makeup:

  • Extend Your Eyebrows Inward: This is the most direct method. Using a brow pencil, powder, or gel (choose your preferred product), gently extend the inner edge of your eyebrows slightly inwards towards the bridge of your nose. The goal is to visually reduce the space between your eyebrows.

  • Use Short, Light Strokes: When extending your eyebrows, avoid drawing a solid, harsh line. Instead, use short, feathery strokes to mimic the natural growth pattern of your eyebrow hairs. This will create a more realistic and subtle effect.

  • Don't Overdo It: Extending your eyebrows too far inwards can make your eyes look unnaturally close together or create a "unibrow" effect. Start with small additions and gradually build up the intensity until you achieve the desired look. Regularly check your appearance in a full-length mirror to maintain balance.

  • Avoid Extending the Tail: Focus solely on extending the inner portion of your eyebrow. Altering the tail of your eyebrow will not contribute to the illusion of closer-set eyes and may negatively affect the overall shape of your face.

By carefully employing these techniques, you can effectively create the impression of eyes that are closer together without resorting to any permanent procedures.
