Eyeliner Tips
The viral TikTokpuppy eyelinertrend is an excellent way to line downturned eyes.
“Think of a 45-degree angle from the outer corner of your lower lash line.
Cheating it out before it turns down will help lift the eye rather than accentuate it.”
Both liquid and pencil eyeliners are suitable for use on downturned eyes.
“A good lash curler is a must for downturned eyes,” Baribeau says.
Repeat this two to three times or until you achieve your desired look.
Byrdie Tip
Avoid using your eyelash curler after you’ve applied your mascara.
It can stick to your eyelashes and become more difficult to remove, potentially removing some lashes.
Eyeshadow Tips
Applying eyeshadow to downturned eyes might feel a tad overwhelming at first.
“I also keep the lighter eyeshadow colors inside and darken them on the outer corners.”
you could use the tail of your eyebrows as a guide on how far the shadow should extend.
This creates a more defined eye makeup look, yet you’re not losing your shape in the process.
While applying eyeliner might take more practice, it will make your eyes appear larger and more lifted.
