Makeup for Protruding Eyes (the best lashes and more)

Big, baby eyes are always flirty and beautiful! If you have protruding eyes, this simply means that your eyes sit in a relatively shallow position in your eye socket. Want to tell if you have protruding eyes? Close your eyes, and rest your pointer finger against your eye socket, with the top part of your finger (towards the nail) resting against your eyebrow, and the bottom part of your finger (by your hand) resting against your cheekbone. If you can prominently feel your eyeball against your finger you probably have a protruding eye shape! You can also determine whether or not you have a protruding eye shape by looking at your eyelids. First, look at your lower eyelid, along your lower lash line. Does it cast a shadow onto your cheekbones? Then, look at your upper eyelid, paying attention to the crease. Is the crease soft, more like a fold? If so, your eyes are definitely protruding! Find some tips on makeup for protruding eyes below!

How to pick lashes for protruding eyes

Girls with protruding eyes can easily create a lot of beautiful looks with false eyelashes. For one thing, protruding eyes tend to be a larger size, making it easy to effortlessly create a big, beautiful, doe-eyed look. False eyelashes are a great way to show off your big, prominent eyes, and finish off your gorgeous makeup look.

If you have protruding eyes, your eyelashes are probably pretty prominent as well. Still, false eyelashes are a great way to complete your look! Try false eyelashes that are very natural looking, the type that you can use for everyday wear. For an instantly flirty look, try false eyelashes that are very voluminous, with a high curl.  These false eyelashes will create a very dramatic look that’s both stunning and flirty!

If you’re worried about false eyelashes possibly overwhelming your eyes, try individual false eyelashes for a subtler look. Apply individual false eyelashes towards the outer corners of your eyes (closer to your ears!) for a classic cat-eye look. You can also focus the individual false eyelashes anywhere else on your lash line where your natural eyelashes seem sparse.

Makeup for Protruding Eyes

Once you’ve picked the right false eyelashes for the look you want, there are a few tricks for gorgeous makeup for protruding eyes. Applying a light eye shadow all over the lid works well for many other eye shapes, but it’s actually not the most flattering look for protruding eyes! Instead, start with a mid-toned or darker shade all over the eyelid. Darker shades will give your eyelids a smaller appearance, making your eyes appear deeper set. Perfect excuse for a smoky eye! Since you will have a lot of space to work with in your eyelid, try different, colorful looks! But, sticking with darker shades doesn’t mean you should avoid highlighting in your eye area. Feel free to highlight your brow bone area and the inner corner of your eye.
