6 Eye Makeup Looks for Small Eyes – Professional Tips Included

Looking to enhance your makeup game and make your small eyes pop? Searching for good makeup looks for small eyes? Look no further! We’ve gathered 6 breathtaking eye makeup looks that will help you achieve that desired look, alongside some professional tips.



1) Transparent liners for Small Eyelids

Transparent eyeliners are a new trend that favors small-eyed queens, giving them a natural-looking gleam and a youthful, snatched appearance. Use a brown-colored shade to sculpt your natural crease line with a blending brush, and use a white pencil or concealer to shape your eye’s end into an arched-angular form. Highlight the inner corners of your eyes with a little bright color or shimmer.

Pro-tip: The inner corners of your eyes can be highlighted with a little bright color, or you could just incorporate shimmer to achieve the same effect.

2) Pop inner corners

When it comes to small eyelids, less is more. Apply a light brown matte shade on your natural crease and blend it outwards in a circular motion with your blending brush. Use a light-colored shade preferably on the inner corner of your eyes and blend it slightly. A winged liner with some falsies and a white eye pencil lining on your water line will make your eyes appear bigger.

3) Colorful eyeliners

Colorful eyeliners are trendy and will be in style all year round. Apply your colored eyeliner in any desired style, finishing touchups with concealer, and a pair of eyelashes. If you don’t have colored eyeliner, mix your desired eye shadow with water in a pasty texture. You can even add one-third of Vaseline along with your desired shade to create a gel liner of your choice.

4) Half-Cut crease

‘Half Cut crease’ is the master of creating a timeless makeup look, and every makeup artist’s go-to for portraying the illusion of bigger eyes. Prime and conceal your eyelids, use a compact powder to create a matt base and use a matt brown shade in an upward and circular motion to the corner of your eye. Blend in a darker shade to the end of your eyes. After you’ve finished blending, use your concealer to create an arc from the inner corner of your eye to the center. Apply a white matte shade or any other colored shade or shimmer on top of it. For finishing touches, use eyeliner and false eyelashes.



 Pro-tip: Use primer on the desired spot before applying glitter to make it last forever.

5) Double-wing liner

Double-wing eyeliners are a classic makeup style and elongate the look of your eye. Apply your eyeliner on your top eyelid, as usual, forming a winged shape with it. Draw a stroke parallel to your upper eyeliner from the bottom lash line outwards and align it to the upper eyelid’s liner. You can use rhinestones for a more glamorous effect.

6) Doe eye makeup

Doe eye makeup is a Korean trend that accentuates the look of your eyes, making them appear brighter, larger, and younger. Apply peach eye shadow on top of your base, and draw a line outwards from the upper eyelids in an angular shape depicting a smudged black liner while its edges are slightly blended. Line the lower lash line in a similar fashion, slightly extended, not parallel to the upper lash line’s liner. Use light-colored eye shadows to give your eyes more shine and make them appear more youthful and natural.
