Last week, I went on a rant about the whole dolly eyes trend in Asia. Well, I've never really tried the look before but there are countless tutorials on YouTube that teach you how to do it. Here is my guide to my version of the look.
The general idea is to create an illusion of deep set eyes. If you already have deep set eyes you can skip to eyeliner after applying your eyeshadow how you normally would.
If you have narrow eyelids like I do or have monolids, you can create the illusion of deep set eyes by applying your darkest colour in the area where your eye socket goes in, just below your brow bone. This would be the area where your eyelids would recede if you had deep set eyes. Apply this colour on your outer corners too.
When using eyeliner, extend it past the natural edges of your eyes and bring the eyeliner down, lining only the outer area of your lower lash line. Use white eyeliner on your water line.
Highlight the inner corners of your eyes and put on some false eyelashes.
Many girls will wear circle lenses to complete the look but since lasik surgery a few years ago, I'm afraid of wearing any type of contact lens.
Use blush only on the apples of your cheeks and a pink glossy lipstick to finish off the look.
Important tip: If you want to to create a more voluminous but natural eyelash look, instead of wearing a chunky pair of false lashes, use the criss-cross type instead but double them up.
What I used:
