How to make big eyes smaller and small eyes bigger

Blush is Cherry Blossom

Apologies for my foundation being a bit dark in this video. I literally threw it on and made this video in 20 minutes while my baby was in bed.
I also have a new light since my old one exploded (see Drag video) and the light is a bit close. Hence, my eyes look really light ( a bit like a vampire, which is cool!)
I promise to sort it out for the next video.

Sam and Nic: what percentage of the time do you ladies encounter clients with different sized eyes--one noticeably larger/smaller than the other?

I know you both mainly work with models, but have you ever used one of these techniques to counteract that type of asymmetry? Or would that type of makeup application just look weird?

[pixiwoo]

I have used this technique to a lesser degree to even up different sized eyes. I use a liner just one shade lighter or darker than the liner on the other eye.

Is it possible to make a tutorial for large eyes that isn't focused on making them look smaller? For example, emphasizing big eyes in a beautiful way. Most of the videos I encounter give tips on making large eyes smaller, and small eyes bigger, but nothing on make up for large eyes at all. Any advise?

I've always found it odd that darker shades are not recopmmended for those with small eyes, however women of asian descent look marvelous sporting black shadows. As a small eye wearer (lol) who loves a smokey eye please advise on how can I make darker shades work for me?

The problem is is that I have large eyes that I'd love to look less "portruding" i guess, but I can;t go around wearing black eyeshadow all over my lids everyday. Wearing very little eyeshadow is like not an option it seems:(

From the looks of that blue shadow, it also has way better pay off than deep truth.

I'm going to try the small eyes thing and see how it goes. Going to order the Pixi shadows. Thanks Sam! You are so pretty! :-)

[teri4815162342]

you look gorgeous with both eyes ! smaller and bigger too ! :-) it´s good luck

[nicolefroehlich]

I like to use dark colors, but I cannot go all the way across. I can only go halfway with the deep truth. The lighter the color, the more I can put on my lid.

WOW, this is great!!
