wow... that really is something extra

btw is she trying to make the eyes look bigger?

tiffa · (#3 (**permalink**))

Yes, I think so. Her eyes are pretty small to begin with, and so are mine. I've been trying to make my eyes look bigger for the longest time, and have failed. I don't care about all the diamonds, or fake eye brows. I just want to know how to do the make up, such as the eyeliner...and possibly the 'background' technique of making my eyes look bigger.

well asuming that you're asian, surgery is and option i spose.. its popular, but the purpose kinda defeats me ( look at ayumi hamasaki xD).

if you dont want to do that theres some products to enhance/widen/enlarge your iris, but that wasnt really what you were looking for was it :/?

I'm assuming that you were serious, and trying to be helpful. Therefore, I won't get offended about the sugery...because honestly, I think that totally DOES defeat the purpose and I'm totally against it. ha. ha.

I'm certain that there are products that can help me, but I'm specifically looking for make-up tips.

I did something of my own, with the thick make up, but sometimes...I'd rather wear little to NO make up and still get the same effect. SO, I'm hoping that there is someone here to help me out.

And no, I'm not Asian. ha ha.

Basically her eyemakeup consists of mascara and fake eyelashes. That's pretty much it. Also it seems she used some eyeliner on the wet upper lines in her eyes. Looks kinda simple to me. ^^v

Wow, that's a lot of... eyeliner... lashes- whoa! The liner looks similar to what was in Misa's make-up tutorial, just maybe a little heavier. And the lashes you could probably find at a costume/party shop, Hot Topic, or just about anywhere near Halloween. On her lower eye make-up, she put the lashes (and maybe liner, but it's hard to tell) on lower than her natural lash line along the outer half, which makes her eyes look dramatically bigger (but looks a bit strange if you really look at it).

To make your eyes look a little bigger without so much make-up, you could line the rim of your lower eyelid with white liner, then apply mascara (black eyeliner optional). Rimmel white liner works nicely on me.

It looks like she has also tried to make her lips bigger as well, the top of them look like they've been painted in.

actually x]
i think the eyebrows play a large role in making your eyes seem bigger~
assuming you have relatively slanted and sleek eyes~
when you apply your eyeliner, you generally follow the contours of your eye right?
or...if not that~ you stray from that contour and apply further upwards inorder too make it seem larger right?

well x] if the former....naturally, following the contours of something will only amplify it's shape~
with the latter~ by straying from the contour, you create the effect of having larger eyes~ yes...but.....you can only reach up as high as your eyebrow.... o.O"
and even before that, the awkward shape will already look....well awkward xD

Thus~ my proposal is that by shaving your eyebrows, and redrawing them a little higher, you create a greater allowance space for the application of your makeup by allowing a different ratio between the length and the width of your eye~ >.>'

atleast...
that's my 2 cents =D

Yes, it could seem hard to tell. But if you really look at it, she didn't put eyeliner on the wet line 'inside' the eye, so to speak. Either she left it blank or put on some grey/white eyeliner to open it up more outwards. Yet it seems to be greyish. O_o'' White would have weirdened that look out a bit too much.
