what you do is you use heavy makeup. Put a quarter size amount of blush on each cheek. go light on the eye liner. go heavy on the lipstick. natural on the lips and that should balance everything out and you should do this daily and if you dont always want to be natural then try blue eyeshadow.
You go for the kind of heavy look but light at the same time. If you want your eyes to look really unique you go for the smoky kind of look. Then just even it out with a little bit of blush and some cherry gloss.
I’m Bangladeshi and when I dont get good sleep my top lid leans on my bottom lid causing me to look like I have a single eyelid ( only happens when I am tired ) anyway when its one of those days I apply eyeliner ( pencil ) on the top of my top lid and on the OUTSIDE of my eye rims. Never ever go inside your eyes because then that makes you appear like you have smaller eyes and you dont want that AT ALL. Now after you do this you can use a dark brown or metallica color as eyeshadow to make you look like you got smokey eyes. Outline your eyebrows with black pencil so that it looks like you got something there, I dont need to do this cuz I got black hair but often see my cousin do it ( she has light brown hair thats why her eyebrows are light too ). As for your lips stay away from red it eases your tone.
Heavy is never good, you will look like something you don’t want to look like.
Sheer peach lipgloss.
Just a touch of a peach – hued blush – just enough to barely see – blush is not supposed to be heavily applied.
As for your eyes apply the eyeshadow like a tear drop laying on it’s side with the small end of it at the outside corner of the eye and the larger end between the inside corner of your eye stopping about 3/4 of an inch below the eyebrow. Make sure to soften the top part near the eyebrow so there is no clear line of demarcation and soften all the way to the ouside corner. Use a peachy brown eyeshadow, I find that various colours of peach, peachy-pink or peachy-brown complement all skin tones
If your hair is black, fill in your eyebrows with a dark brown first, then use black to give a little definition (if needed), although if you find a dark brown dark enough, use that. Try Maybelline pencil in Dark brown they are red pencils and come in a two-pack.
As for eyebrows, line your pencil up against the outside of you nostril pointing straight up – this is where you start your eyebrow,. Use the pencil to gently fill in the area using upward and outward strokes, following the arch of your eyebrow, as if you are drawing a natural browline and soften with an eyebrow brush.
I hope this helps. God Bless.
The blush, I forgot – apply to the apples of your cheeks (cheekbones), dont go past the end of your nostril.
what the heck are single eyelids????
