How do you apply black eyeshadow to eyes with small eyelids?

i have chinky eyes and its so hard to wear black eyeshadow on the outer corner and blend in correctlyHow do you apply black eyeshadow to eyes with small eyelids?
Usually black eyeshadow makes your eyes look smaller.


But to apply it first make sure you have a small brush to apply it with. Then slowly go from the inner corner of your eye and drag the brush against the eyelash line all the way to the outer corner. Wetting the eyeshadow makes it easier.


If your doing the bottom of your eye only extend the line from your outer corner to the middle of your eye so you won't look like a raccoon. The most important thing to remember is not to not apply too much, or it WILL look smaller.





Here are some photos on what it might look like

start from your eyelash then work it to the crease, then put a little bit of compact powder over it so it will blend in and wont be so harsh.
Your best bet would be to use an eyeliner brush and dip in water then put it in the shadow and use it as eyeliner. I have a lot of friends that have small eyes and they do that way to define their eyes and they use it to create the illusion of a bigger eye or to make it appear that they have a double lid because they are Asian.
Never use dark eyeshadow when you have small eyelids. It will make your eyes look even smaller.
using a transformer such as one made by Paula Dorf (available at PureBeauty Stores) dip a bit of dark grey...black is too harsh on anyone...in the liner with an ultra fine brush. a good dark grey/charcoal eyeshadow is Carbon by Mac...or the best eyeshadow trio i have found is by Ernesto Longo. Anyway, very thinly, line the upper lid. using a long haired squirrel brush, make tiny circles on the outter part of the lid where the lower and upper eyelids meet. using a shading brush, shade, soften and BLEND. i would also use a satin finishing eyeshadow such as Mac Jest just over the middle of the eye lid to make your eyes pop. i agree with previous posts that a dark shadow will make your eyes appear even smaller. finish the look with smudging a little dark shadow...a LITTLE on the outer edges of the lower lid.. dont apply any liquid liner to lower lid...hard lines will make your eyes look beady.
Oh man i can totally help u out with this one! lol ok so everymoring i get a liquid eye linear instead of eye shadow Strech ur eye lid, and apply a VERY thin line above ur eye lashes but thick enough to see it wen u open ur eyes, or if u want to use black eye shadow the crease were ur eye lids are close ur eye and put on right in the midddle! hope it helps! and thanks for the answer on my question!
Black eyeshadow? ummm I wouldn't wear it! Seems as if black would make them appear EVEN smaller.......
