I always thought that piling on more eyeliner made the eyes bigger, in reality, lining them fully literally creates a box and makes them smaller. Stay away from black and use gray, brown, and purple.





What eyeliner does is to make the lashline look fuller, which makes your eyes appear bigger. When you use liner, only go (from the outside to in) about 3/4 in with it. This should make it stop right at where your lashes start to come in. Make sure you taper it off so that it doesn't have a harsh line. Also, if your eyes are small, don't use a lot of liner on the bottom lash line as it makes them look even smaller. You can smudge some shimmer eyeshadow or a darker shade than what you're wearing on your lids if you want some depth.

Notice how it tapers inward. She almost has it too thick for smaller eyes.

I have green eyes.


I don't ever recommend using black eyeliner, because it's really harsh. If you use brown eyeliner, it's more subtle. If you apply the eyeliner on the wrong part of your eye, it will make your eyes look smaller. Apply the eyeliner right below your bottom lashes. Either add a thin line very close to your lash line on the top lid, or don't apply any at all up there. This will make your eyes look bigger.


Purple shadow will also make the green in your eyes pop.





Hope that helps.
I have small green eyes too, and i like to use a black eyeliner, but to bring out the green in your eyes you should use purple eye shadow.


Note that eyes can appear smaller though if you make eye shadow too dark all over the eyelid, so the colour should be darkers on the outter side of the eye, and eyeliner to increase eye size should start from the middle and work darker towards the outter eye.
white eyeliner or white cream eyeshadow (i don't know what that's actually called) on the inside corners of your eyes.
