When we put on make-up it is a common rule to take into account the color of your irises to enhance them to the fullest. But that’s not enough. The shape and size of the eye also play an important part. We asked Alessandra Dini And Rajan Tolomeirespectively National Make-up Artist by Rimmel And National Make-up Artist by Max Factor some ad hoc advice for each individual type:
HOLLOW EYES “Sunken eyes have many make-up possibilities, but there are two that emphasize them the most – says Rajan Tolomei: Satin nude: after correcting any discoloration and dark circles, apply ** skin-colored, pale pink, matte satin peach orange eyeshadows. ** This will create a much brighter eye area and visually appear less sunken. Yes to a lot of mascara to make the look alive, energetic, fresh and dynamic. Gipsy Smokey: A tuxedo enriched with black, anthracite gray, dark brown and even some shades of red will create a gypsy and contemporary eye, but above all it will give depth. Lots of mascara and lots of black kajal pencil inside the conjunctiva will emphasize the beauty of the eye ».
ERRORS TO AVOID “The typical mistake is to think of eliminating the recess by using white, too light colors – go on Ptolemies. This turns the eye area into a gray area that looks tired. Another mistake is to use a pencil or a dark eyeshadow only on the lower part of the eye, which makes the eyes tired and above all highlights the hollow more ».
MUST-HAVE ALLY: mascara, but be careful when choosing – warns Alessandra Dini. «A lengthening product could push the lashes too high and could touch / stain the fixed eyelid».

SMALL EYES “Speaking of small eyes, I would like to start by debunking a false myth: ** the black pencil does not make the eye smaller and the clear one does not enlarge the eye – ** he explains Alessandra Dini. The truth is that the black pencil intensifies the eye and the clear one rounds and softens the shape. Those with small eyes must never give up the eye pencil which, on the contrary, makes the look more mysterious and magnetic, worthy of a Mediterranean beauty. That said, the trick to “enlarge” a small eye is the edging technique that can be done with pencil or eyeliner. It is a make-up technique that creates a border on the upper and lower eyelid lines, so as to highlight the external shape of the eye and make it appear larger ».
ERRORS TO AVOID “Darkening the inner corner of a small eye because you risk making it even more minute and does not enhance its shape – he explains again Dini. Another mistake is to darken the entire mobile and fixed eyelid with highly pigmented eye shadows, because it makes a small eye sunken and therefore not enhanced, but rather penalizes its shape ».

BIG EYES «The make-up for big eyes? I have no doubts: smokey eyes – he says Dini. You can indulge yourself with medium, medium dark, dark and very dark colors but, little note, better not to use very light and bright colors, these “enlarge” even more the already large form and do not give allure to make-up “. “The big eye is a typical make-up eye inside the conjunctiva and which can also be afforded to have make-up that covers only the lower part – he tells us Ptolemies. A thick eyeliner manages to reduce its width and an elongated and not too round smokey can make it more balanced. The mascara must be concentrated at the base of the lashes without over-emphasizing the tips which otherwise would risk creating a huge eye, too emphasized and perhaps even too round or protruding »adds Tolomei.
ERRORS TO AVOID Second Dini: “Using bright and glitter eyeshadows penalizes the large shape of the eye, as it amplifies the ocular surface, taking away the importance of other elements of the face such as eyebrows and lips”. «The mascara must surely be black and not colored – he warns Ptolemies. Absolutely avoid the use of clear pencils inside the conjunctiva ».
MUST-HAVE ALLY: a palette with dark eyeshadows, in the shades of brown, dark brown, plum, black ideal for creating smokey eyes.
