Matte shadows - the best option for small eye makeup with an impending upper eyelid. In no case should you use the pearlescent coating, it will “blur” the look and even visually reduce the eyes.

Step 2: feathering. Soft middle brush blend the shadows in such a way as to obtain a smooth transition from the moving century to the hanging one. It is important to be careful not to highlight the crease between the eyelids. For a better effect, you can add a lighter shade under the brow and shade.
Step 3: Painting the eyelashes. Before you start painting eyelashes, you need to shade the shadows beyond the century. You can add a little golden chimmer to the inner corner of the eye to give the look depth. Then gently stain the upper and lower cilia.

Step 4: fill out the form. The arrow must be supplemented, preferably with eyeliner, even if the outline was originally drawn in pencil. An interesting form will be like a ribbon that smoothly expands to the outer corner of the eye. Such an arrow will help to emphasize the eyes, without focusing on the looming eyelid.

How to paint the eyelashes in the looming century?
Before you start painting eyelashes, you need to decide on the choice of mascara, suitable for make-up in the looming century. In this case, the ideal option with a waterproof effect.
The use of waterproof mascara is extremely important. Due to the fact that the hanging eyelid is quite close to the mobile and directly to the eyelashes themselves, contact with mascara leaves traces on it. Such marks spoil the overall makeup and look unaesthetic.
Mascara is better to choose with a lengthening effect. Lush and long dark eyelashes distract attention from the looming upper eyelid, attracting it to the shade of the eyes. Apply this mascara is better in two or three layers to fix the effect. Silicone-based mascara on the contrary should not be applied more than once.
It is better to avoid painting the eyelashes on the lower eyelid, it will make the look heavy. The exceptions are some makeups that use century eyeliner with a shimmer or highlighter. In this case, the lower cilia should be dark to create the desired image. For the lower eyelid, it is better to choose mascara of natural brown shades.
You can open your eyes by scrolling your eyelashes with forceps or curler. The bending of the eyelashes is recommended to fix with a brush or a special transparent mascara, and only then apply the usual.
False eyelashes with the looming upper eyelid are even encouraged in make-up. They should be chosen according to the length of the native cilia, and after gluing, you should carefully paint it at the base to give the natural lashes a similar shade. For this technique, use the usual brush for combing eyelashes and eyebrows with a short nap.
