This make-up trick allows you to lift your eyes without surgery

Did you like the technique of applying the concealer which allows you to lift the entire face without the need for a scalpel? Then you will surely appreciate this very simple trick that lifts the eyes in the blink of an eye thanks to makeup!

It’s a fact, makeup trends invite us to give a little lift to our beauty and our face. The recent buzz of the 2016 versus 2021 make-up transformations that captivate social networks testifies to this: we now apply our make-up products in such a way as to lift our entire face. By enhancing our cheekbones as much as possible with blush and a few touches of concealer on the one hand, and by stretching our eyes as much as possible with make-up foxy eyes which greatly lengthen our eyes at the outer corners on the other hand. But if playing eye shadows and eyeliner to sport a divinely elongated look – like that of star starlets of the moment like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid – is certainly very effective, it still requires us to go through a few time-consuming steps that we don’t always have time to do every morning, and to show a certain dexterity. Another significant drawback to sporting a perfect foxy eyes which lifts the gaze: we also find ourselves forced to make up our eyelids even when we would like to rely only on the glamorous effect of mascara to sublimate our peepers.

Fortunately, it is also possible to achieve this kind of lifting effect in the eyes in an even easier and faster way. Unearthed on TikTok, a very easy technique to lift your eyes without surgery has also been shared by a certain Suzana responding to the pseudonym of @suzi_sina on the social network. It consists more precisely in carrying out a contouring look with concealer and a single eye shadow in a shade of brown (which should be chosen according to the precise shade of your natural skin tone, i.e. in a slightly darker shade) before putting on your mascara. The idea being – as with everything contouring – to play with the effect of light and shadow created with these two shades to give the impression that your eyes are more stretched than they are in reality.

The right trio of products to equip you:

If you don’t know the basics of make-up foxy eyes essential for more than a year already or if you want to save time in the morning by swapping this makeup for our tip, it’s time to take notes!

How to lift your eyes ultra easily with makeup?

Once your concealer, your brown eyeshadow and your mascara in hand, it’s time for the technique to give you an eye lift without surgery! Here’s how to do it on video:

  • Start by applying your concealer just under the brow bone at the tail of your eyebrow.
  • Add a touch of product in the inner corner of your eye as if to illuminate your eyes.
  • Continue by applying your brown eyeshadow so as to draw a triangle slightly stretched upwards in the outer corner of your eye.
  • Take your concealer again then draw a curve starting from the outer corner of your eye and going up towards your temple with the product.
  • Blend the touch of concealer at the corner of the eye with a brush, before blending the two products together at the outer corner (still using the brush), making sure to make a movement that starts from the inside the face to go outward (without ever going back and forth).
  • Repeat the operation on the other eye to finalize your contouring the look.

Here you are with a judiciously lifted look in a few minutes!

All you have to do is apply your mascara, we advise you to choose preferably curling to stretch your eyelashes upwards as much as possible. Put it only on the upper lashes so as not to counteract the effect created with your contouring eyes.
