Real makeup professionals use specific tricks and colors for every face and eye shape to bring out the eyes. We'll tell you here which tips and tricks you should definitely know.

Do you think your eyes are too small and want to make them look bigger? Then black eyeliner is not the perfect choice for you. Instead, choose a white pen. It opens the view and makes the eyes look bigger.

Apply the light eyeliner to the lower waterline - this will make your eyes look much more alert and radiant. By the way, thick eyeliner is an absolute no-go for small eyes. They overwhelm the eye and make it appear smaller.

If your eyes are close together, you can use a few tricks to create more space between your eyes. This works best if you emphasize your eyes more on the outside.

Apply light and shimmery eyeshadow to the inner area of ​​the eyes. On the outside, dark and dull colors are best. This way you can give eyes that are close together a bit more width. If you want to apply eyeliner, only on the outer areas. So first place the pencil in the middle of the lash line and draw the line towards the outer edge of the eyelid. The further you pull the eyeliner outwards, the more your eyes will appear to be drawn apart.

Product tip:Special eyeshadow pencils are super practical for applying eyeshadow to the outer lash line. The pencils can be attached directly to the lash line. A popular eyeshadow stick, for example, is the Mad Eyes Eyeshadow Duo Stick from Guerlain.

In drooping eyelids, the movable part of the eyelid has 'slipped' under the upper lid. With the right makeup trick you can make your eyes appear more open and larger. Apply light, shimmering eyeshadow to the moving eyelids. Then apply a darker tone to the upper eyelid and in the crease. This means that the drooping eyelids appear to recede.

With the right eyeliner look you can enhance the effect even more. To do this, start with a thin eyeliner from the inner corner of the eye and let the eyeliner become thicker towards the outside.

Step 1:Apply light, pearlescent eyeshadow under the eyebrow. This creates a beautiful shimmer and makes the look more glamorous.

Step 2:For foundation, you can apply a nude eyeshadow to the entire eyelid.

Step 3:Now apply a dark tone to the outer corners of your eyes.

Step 4:Once the color has been applied, you can blend the eyeshadow. Use a blender brush to do this.

Step 5:Now the bright, pearl-colored eyeshadow is used again. This goes into the crease of the eyelid, where it is slightly mixed with the darker tone.

Step 6:Now apply the dark eyeshadow to the waterline and blend it lightly.

Step 7:Wash eyelashes vigorously.
