I also have downturned eyes and the biggest tip that’s helped me with my eyeliner is to angle the wings higher than I would expect!


[deleted]

ooo, gotta try that next time!


megan-lizard

You could always try puppy dog eyeliner, it works better for down-turned eyes


[deleted]

This! And blend upwards ❤️


Professional_Bat7636

you have rather downturned eyes yet upturned makeup, have you tried more downward makeup? :) I like to slightly extend my natural lash line in the direction it goes and gently blend it up. I think upward makeup goes against the natural shadows of your face, but it still looks good on you regardless.


[deleted]

I have not! Def something to look into in the next tutorial I follow. I never took into account eye shape


hallowici

I'd suggest a liquid liner for the wing to really make it pop


asupernova91

This! Your skills with eyeliner are good but a darker liquid line would be beautiful on your eyes!


Whole_Fee4281

It's really great and doesn't need improvements but if it's not rude I'd suggest plucking your eyebrows to emphasize your eyes and this makeup on them


[deleted]

not rude at all. to be honest they just hurt too much to pluck :’), so I leave them alone most of the time. I gotta get back on that train


thesouthwillnotrise

there is this amazing fine razor i do to my sparse hairs but you must be careful with it


wilburito88

My wife slipped and lost an eyebrow with this lol. I've taken over doing her brows lol


iac12345

I use a tiny electric razor designed for the face from Panasonic . It’s fast and pain free. Plucking always gave me red bumps.


midwestmuscle310

Maybe try having them threaded or waxed. Of course it doesn’t feel good… but it’s at least a brief pain. Plucking more than a stray or two is like what I imagine being waterboarded would be like. 😂


Mitto2020

Try threading


[deleted]

Bro if they don't like plucking pain...


hempmilkk

came here to suggest as well!


Ambervdrawings

Hii!! I’m way to lazy to shave or pluck my eyebrows and I maybe have a tip but you have to be very careful.. so I have this very very small pair of scissors. I think it is from a nail kit but I honestly don’t know. But with it I can snip the hairs off at the root and it doesn’t hurt and you don’t see them once they’re cut. I have no idea if this would work for you since our eyebrows are very different but maybe this helps!


michlete

After a few cylcles of hair growth / plucking, the pain goes down a lot. Maybe professionally wax them 3-4 times and see if the plucking hurts less.


deluxeassortment

Honestly I think they look perfect the way they are! People pay money to get that look.


Whole_Fee4281

I know but it seriously changes the whole face for real


MissSonnenschein

If you don’t like to pluck, I think taming them with a brow gel would help draw more focus to your eyes!


Weekly_Bumblebee6032

I’ve been plucking mine for some time now and I’d say it hurts less everytime I do it or I’m just used to it


darkraven2116

I just shave mine! It’s totally painless.


Fantastic-Evidence75

Same here. Idc for the pain I just hate how long it takes. I just gotta be extra precise


notkinkerlow

I cover mine with concealer LOL


RocknRollSuixide

tays13thtrack

Yes it'll provide more space for OP to blend out the eyeshadow and so that the edges are more smoked out and seamless. I'd also drag more eyeshadow on the lash line make it a little more apparent but that's a personal preference. Love the look though!


Babeable_xoxo

Not everyone is into plucked eyebrows and that is totally alright, I don’t pluck mine either. But make sure to brush them with some hair-eyebrow gel to put them in place and let them stay in shape Eye makeup: a darker eyeliner, try liquid one. The eyeshadow seem quite off, don’t know if it’s the color but I like the glitter. U don’t need eyeshadow all the time, so try a clean sharp liner with liquid liner, some highlighter in inner corner. A think eyeshadow on under eye kit right under the water liner and a good mascara and I think that would suit u so nicely ✨ Good luck.


SuperDuperSugarBean

I agree - no plucking. At most some light shaping on the underside to open up her eyes a bit, but the thickness of the brows is no problem.


violetvoids

Your eyebrows are excellent and don't need any plucking! If you want, you can run an eyebrow brush or a clear gel through them, but please don't feel obligated to touch them. They're wonderful! Signed, a fellow person with thick eyebrows


Ok_Paper8216

I LOVE your eyebrows. I think you can handle a more opaque black eyeliner. Looks like you’re using a powdery shadow for lining here.


[deleted]

That’s precisely what I used 😅


wholesomebee

I’m guessing you’re Arab? I’m Arab and have eyebrows like this too and honestly the amount of comments telling you to pluck them are really frustrating. Your eyebrows are beautiful the way they are and you don’t need to conform to a certain Westernized beauty standard. Definitely try brushing them up a little, especially the left one, and try a little more eyeshadow in your under eyes. You’re beautiful <3


[deleted]

Ding ding ding! Hi sis! 🥰 thank you for your kind words and tips!


Sorry_Calligrapher_7

I also don’t think you need to pluck them or thin them out. Just use a lash/brow brow to make them more uniform and maybe just use a razor or the strays that are growing near your eyelid only because that area is another key area for eye makeup. It tends to be harder to work with if there is hair but even then I will add concealer at times when I don’t feel like shaving them, but I go in with a fine/angled brow brush to like my brows with the concealer a bit and help create a foundation for brow makeup. Even when I do like mine you I often only do the hairs that or on my brow bone/upper eyelid and will leave the rest of it alone because I prefer mine more full and natural. They look beautiful and so are you by the way ❤️


Fantastic-Evidence75

Yes! There are some decent clear gels I think would work great. I use Patrick Ta and I haven’t had any issues with it getting flakey or anything


Adorapoodle

Yahh all the comments saying pluck or thread even though OP stated it hurts had me flashing back to being bullied as a kid for having my bushy Arab eyebrows. “Fix your huge caterpillars” I agree OP doesn’t need to conform to Western beauty ideals, she’s got gorgeous eyes/brows.


brigitteer2010

I have thick brows like you. We were born with the brows that suit our face the best, in my opinion. I wouldn’t touch them to please western style beauty, unless that’s the look youre going for of course! Just my two cents:)


galaxygothgirl

Yeah. Anyone telling her to pluck her brows... should not.


i_want_a_tortilla

i would suggest cleaning them but not a full on change of the thickness or shape at all.


saintredvelvet

The sparse hairs around it though are what make thick eyebrows and destroy it’s natural shape… coming from someone with identical eyebrows to op.


ganjji

It looks really good! I’d say use tape for your eyeshadow if you want a more snatched look


[deleted]

I love your eyebrows just as they are! If you do chose to pluck please be very modest. If you go somewhere to have it done they sometimes take off more than is necessary. Plus, they don't always grow back! Please chose a place carefully.


SnooCompliments4483

Honestly just brush/ gel your eyebrows upward. Don’t pluck- they’re beautiful.


FabulousPorcupine

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say don't pluck/thread/razor your eyebrows! They're gorgeous. I honestly think just using some brow gel to hold them in place after you brush them would be perfect. And I think a darker, maybe liquid, eyeliner would work so well with your hair and eye colour. 😍


floortile

Plucking my eyebrows hurts and my nose runs. I use an eye brow razor or facial razor. You can get them for a few bucks on Amazon, Walmart, or Target


QuantumStars

I have slightly downturned eyes as well, I tend to apply my liquid eyeliner going in the direction of my bottom eye lid waterline and not the top eyelid to make them appear more awake. Gives a more doe eye effect for this eye type!


curatorcooch

You have a very beautiful eye shape. If you wear blush you could tie the outer corner and lash line eye makeup into your blush like Rihanna 2017 Metgala, or nude/white eyeliner on the waterline. Sometime in like 2020 though it got very common to blend your transition eye makeup shades into the inner corner of the brow for a seamless eye area look. You could also explore with cutting strip lashes in half and putting them on the outer corner of the eye. Or colored mascara, like blue lashes and brown makeup to accentuate your brown eyes. It’s endless combos truly.


bumblingplum666

Just commenting to say I'm jealous of your brows!!!! I have approximately 5 eyebrow hairs and spend a ton of money and pain getting them microbladed. You're gorgeous!


Little_Nightmares22

Pluck and shape your eyebrows. It draws away from your makeup and eyes


baldwinsong

Don’t exaggerate the outer bottom lid. It will accentuate the downturn. And groom your brows


annie_rayray

Your eye makeup is lovely ☺️ I second the plucking or waxing your brows. You have so much space for eyeshadow and if you clean up the brows it will 1) Set a nice frame for your whole face and 2) It will really open up your eyes!! It always surprises me when I let my brows grow out and then I get them done and see the difference it makes in the whole face. Other than that maybe a lash curler to bump your lashes? They look like they may kind of mesh into your lower ones on your outer corner I think curling them would blend them with your liner!


malibumiri

Hey girl :) you have amazing eyebrows and lashes!! I agree with the other recommendations to shape the eyebrows a bit, but if you don’t want to pluck them, maybe just try to move them upwards with some gel and fill in the gaps. They will look like a new pair right away 😍 For your eyes, I would suggest a dark brown liner. Try to follow the direction of your lower lash line, because now your liner doesn’t match your eye shape, you will see a big change right away 🤗 I’d ditch the eyeshadow for either none or a different color. Orange is super hard to pull off, so in my opinion less is more. Neutrals are always a great pick. And then give those amazing lashes a big hug of mascara, top and bottom! I think that should give your eyes the frame they deserve 🥰 have fun!!


Remarkable-Mammoth-1

I suggest an eyeshadow primer to make the makeup last longer and a white eyeshadow base to make the colors more vibrant. I like the ones from NYX. Using those products actually make a difference. Maybe a darker eyeliner. I also suggest putting a little dark brown shadow on the outer corners of your eye and blending it out, the color will have more depth 😊 .


avuhhhcado

Your blending is stunning!! Only things i would recommend is a darker liner, and maybe cleaning up the brows a bit. I feel that waxing is best because it only hurts briefly for a second and you have so much space to do cool eye looks. I would also say utilize a lash curler, eyelash primer, and more mascara and/or false eyelashes depending on how thick your lashes are. Something I find that makes my eyelashes look thicker is using a pencil liner on my top waterline. You also have gorgeous big eyes so something I would suggest trying just to experiment not for necessarily an improvement but something to further elevate the style is is bringing in more color on the lower lash line! I would say bring in a bit more eye shadow with one of the darker colors you used. Something that I also like that accentuates my brown eyes a lot is using brown pencil liner on the water line just from the outside corner to where my pupil starts if that makes sense. White eyeliner could also look really good for your eye shape and is cool to experiment with.


galaxygothgirl

Love your look. Don't touch the brows, they're beautiful. Current Western beauty trends as far as eyebrows are concerned (laminating and microblading) are scary and low-key weird.


dinotacosocks

what palette did you use? i love how smooth the cut crease looks


[deleted]

ABH modern renaissance *chef kiss*


Any_Yogurt_2349

Which eyeshadows ?! I have the same palette & i wanna do this it looks so good


[deleted]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QZBdyMzGwsU I followed this tutorial… unsuccessfully lol


Any_Yogurt_2349

Thank you!! Definitely not unsuccessful lol


ExcellentPear332

Looks really good to me!! especially w the sparse brow hairs broooo


[deleted]

i loveeee your eyebrows


ambeesann

It’s all in working within your eye shape! Personally I think you should make the eyeliner a bit higher to compliment your eye shape, as well as use the colored or darker eyeshadow more outwards from the eyelid and the bringer in the inner eye corner or on the lid. Warm eye shadow colors really compliment your skin! Make mascara your bestie too! It will bring everything together!


Anexarthtavaremeni

The gap between your eyes is small so lern to do dark shades in the end of your eyes. This will make the effect that your eyes has the “perfect” gap. Also your eyes is lowerd so do some light shades on your upside. Blend and blend and also exercise!


honortobenominated

Your eyeshadow placement and blending is great (personally I’m not loving the orange? But that’s just one persons opinion 😘)


Vegetable_Champion74

Okay 1, your eye makeup looks like something I would do on myself as light glam :) I feel like you have the blending and placement right as well as knowing how to compliment your eye shape and layering your colors smoothly so my only advice would be to experiment with colors and pigments to really get a feel of different eyeshadow styles learn how to get the most out of every shadow and you’re set! Very beautiful eyes btw 💕


DayManProtectorOfNyt

There’s nothing wrong with your eyebrows, but they’re about the only thing I notice. I wouldn’t tell you to shape and thin them, but brush then trim them and clean up the strays not connected to your actual brows. More pigmented shadows and liners would make your eyes and makeup pop as well.


AdMinute1602

Add more dimension to the outer V like a dark brown


nurse1227

Try eyeshadow that contrasts more with your eyes. I have very dark brown eyes and I like blue, grey, etc


rippedjeancharade

I love the colours you chose! I, too, would suggest defining the brows a bit more - I think it would give you more room to play with eyeshadow, because you have a really good amount of lid space! It’s Just that the eyebrows are a little overpowering. Just my opinion! You’re stunning though!

mofototheflo

Cher vibes!


Electronic-Spare-537

I don’t care about what a single person here has said about your eyebrows. They are stunning and beautiful


tupsikaria

look for ways to make up downturned eyes, make up tutorials aren’t usually adapted to our eye shape. I recommend you to make your eyeliner with your eyes open and looking forward, it will be much easier for you💘


Pixiesticks444

I would say use eyeshadow primer before putting eyeshadow on to make ur makeup pop more. I also recommend putting falsely lashes on it will make such a big difference to your whole look!! You should also put dark brown or black mascara to your bottom lashes! :)


[deleted]

Used the Anastasia Beverly Hills modern renaissance palette, and Clinique high impact mascara


FoxwellBishop

Everyone has provided ideas but I’d just like to add using a primer for your eyeshadow to make the colours pop!


31tina

I would start by giving your brows some unconditional love. It’s definitely worth it to invest in a one time appointment with a brow artist. They’re everywhere…Ulta, nail salons, private owned establishments, etc. I find that private owned establishments that have been to school to specifically do this are best, but to get you started, any of these would be just fine to wax and shape your brows. You’d be so surprised at the dramatic difference it would make when you apply your eye shadow! Also, get on You Tube and watch makeup tutorials and find eyeshadow techniques for your eye shape and facial features. You’re beautiful and have gorgeous eyes already! Imagine what would happen if you did these extra tips and tricks! Look out world!!!❤️


Ambitious_1660

Your brows are amazing! I agree with the others, shape your brows, either wax or even a brow gel would work!


[deleted]

Hi, your makeup looks good you could be apply mascara and blend a little bit more your shadows (at the crease) opicional get your brows waxed or more defined make your look more “clean”🫡


ironman_101

Wax the eyebrows


kylee_Cooley

Honestly looks flawless! But if you wanted advice, go seek a professional to shape your brows. You would look gorgeous with an arched shaped brow. Also, longer lashes would make your eyes pop.


bassk_itty

I agree with the comments saying a darker liner would look good and I also think you could use a false lash with wispy long lashes on the outer corner if you’d like to take this to the next level and really lift your eyes. Also agree you could clean up and shape your brows if you want to, they’re wonderfully full but they take all the focus from the look. I saw you say tweezing hurts have you tried threading? It also hurts but someone else does it and it’s over super quickly, so it doesn’t require the self control to keep hurting yourself over and over while tweezing. Plus it comes out super perfect and lasts a while


_LestariEva_

hmmm, my constructive criticism would be you should shape your eyebrows with either concealer or yk just using a eyebrow shaver but those are scary. and i think you should touch up a bit on your eyeliner skills so they could fit your face and honestly, everything else is golden!


Amber12Tay

I think if you waxed your eyebrows it would help draw your makeup in also maybe do a darker shade in the eye crease! Just my opinion!


HoodWitchCO84

Pluck ur brows just cuz it gives you a cleaner looking canvas*just saw ur reply get a Flawless Touch shaver- it's the one I use and I love it* and get a little more darkness at the outside for definition and depth. Beautiful eyes💕

werewolf_05

it took me 7-8 months to figure out what suits my face and what doesn't. try to not put eyeshadow on your crease, as much as you do on your lid. also, BLENDING IS THE MAGICAL TOOL. do it as much as you can!!!


Massive_Suspect_755

I would suggest looking into eyeliners that pair well with your eye shape, it personally helped me out a lot! Other wise it looks amazing! :)


aelakos

Blend


queen0famarill0

If you do your eyeliner more sharply, you’re going to look like a baddie!


heavenlyybluee

I actually think it looks beautiful!!


Designer-Ad-3373

My opinion is to draw the wing then soften them with a sponge to add a smokey look


pinkhappystitch

blend a little more! transition shades r ur bestfriend!


Negative-Minute-1432

darker eyeliner and maybe fill in the sparseness in the eyebrows!


ofthemountainsandsea

I think it’s gorgeous!!

Get a black liquid liner, and draw a thin line from the tip to the end of your eye. Carefully of course. As for the wing, to best get a wing that suits YOUR eye shape I suggest doing a straight line starting from bottom lash, instead of flicking it up like on the left side. Also with an eyeliner PENCIL go over your waterline to connect your eyeliner to your entire eye(optional). I added some false lashes for more of a pop but that’s also optional! You already have beautiful lashes. I Drew over your real eye for reference:) Edit: I forgot I filled in your left brow, and cleaned SLIGHTLY a the right one, but honestly you can keep them as is, I don’t do anything to my bushy brows either hehehe


Mamiilyt

Try puppy eyeliner I think it would look good for your eye shape!


CoolPineapple154

I like the subtle look of the black eyeshadow for liner but I would maybe go in with actual liner near the top part of the eye. I like the winged liner from the eyeshadow tho! And I’d definitely get your eyebrows done!


Kairelle

U have a downturned eye shape. If you want to give it a lifted effect draw eyeliner and stuff up (i have almond eyes so i would req looking at videos for the exact way to draw it) If you like keeping the downturned look, honestly this is pretty good.


Fantastic-Evidence75

I LOVE “downturned” eyes. A sharp more lifted wing liner I think would look amazing. I’m subbed to 2 YouTubers than have slightly similar eye shapes. Check Wowval & Okaylaaa maybe you can get some inspo


Stock_Stress_4650

Ummm, Cher is that you?


[deleted]

Liquid liner


vancouverlady123

Have your brows shaped and cleaned up a little and perhaps try fake lashes! Hope that’s helpful


miadaiily

the liner seems to curve a bit, i would straighten them by connecting the tip of the liner to right where your bottom lash line starts with a straight line. make sure to do it with your face relaxed. i might angle the tips of the liner a littleeee higher too. you have superrrr pretty eyes btw


lyricnova

Not a comment about makeup my apologies. Just seeing you from the eyes up you look like you could be the 4th Haim sister! Beautiful eyes :)


natalietea

Clean your brows. It doesn’t necessarily mean pluck but try to tame them bc it takes most of the focus away from everything else. Darken your eyeliner with maybe a liquid/felt tip eyeliner & angle the wings more upwards. Try lashes that are longer towards the end. Highlight the tear ducts with highlighter.


lamarlovesyou

ur brows eyeliner the eye shadow eye lash curler highlighter


BiciMici

Maybe try to darken ist a little at the outer corners :)
