Top 10 Cute Korean Makeup Styles for Single Eyelids

Typically, people use gold shimmer to evenly spread across the eyelids to create a gradient effect for the original eye shadows. You can deepen the crease with a bronze shade, focusing on intensifying the outer corner. Similarly, work on the lower lid to make your eyes pop. Avoid thick eyeliner and opt for a subtle brown-black line.

Here's how to achieve the Gradient eye makeup look for single eyelids:

• Apply the darkest eyeshadow shade closest to the lash line.
• Layer with the second darkest shade and finish with the lightest eyeshadow shade.
  (Note: the light shade should only be applied below the brow bone).

To achieve larger, more defined double eyelids without the need for cosmetic surgery, beauty enthusiasts often turn to eyelid tapes. These beloved accessories are indispensable for many, especially those with monolid eyes. With just a few simple steps, you can 'transform' your monolid eyes into double eyelids.

How to use eyelid tapes:

• Start with gentle, clean eye makeup
• Use tweezers to remove the eyelid tape
• Use a cotton swab to lightly press on the area above your natural eyelid crease to determine the desired crease size.
• Apply the eyelid tape directly onto the upper eyelid so that the old crease is in the middle of the tape. This will help your eyes look naturally larger, without revealing the old crease or appearing too puffy.
• Gently press down on the tape with your fingers to ensure it adheres to the skin.
• Use a tool to create a new eyelid crease line with depth and clarity according to your makeup style

Wearing contact lenses is one of the most popular methods to make your eyes appear larger besides makeup, eyelid tapes, or eyelash curling.
Wearing lenses nowadays is extremely convenient and straightforward. Moreover, you can choose eye colors that match your skin tone and personal style. Contact lenses not only make your eyes look bigger and rounder but also elevate your makeup to perfection, just like the Korean style.

Here are some tips for wearing contact lenses:

• Always wash your hands with soap before handling lenses
• To reduce initial discomfort, you should blink frequently for about 30 minutes, which also helps prevent dry eyes.
• Ensure that the lenses are clean and free from dust or residue.
• Ensure that the lens is right side up; when it is right side up, the lens has a concave shape, whereas when it is upside down, the lens has a convex edge.
• When purchasing lenses, make sure they are genuine and safe. Don't forget essential accessories such as lens storage solution, eye drops, and a bottle of lens cleaning solution for regular hygiene and safety.

Eyeliner application is crucial in transforming monolid eyes into double eyelids. A thick and harsh eyeliner can make monolid eyes appear smaller. To avoid making the eyeliner too intense and causing the eyes to look smaller, remember to draw a thin and harmonious line that slightly extends beyond the natural eye shape. Gently flick the eyeliner to create a soft look for the eyes. It's preferable to use a fine-tip eyeliner for a gentle touch!

There are 4 eyeliner styles for you to choose from:

• Thin and simple eyeliner line
• Bold and curved eyeliner flick
• Curved and slightly thick eyeliner at the outer corner
• Combination of eyeliner and light smoky effect

Single eyelids often appear smaller, so to achieve a more elegant and mature look, use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes. Curled lashes will make your eyes look much larger, so choosing the right eyelash curler is crucial for those with single eyelids.

Opt for a curler with minimal curvature to match the shape of your lash line. Eyelash curlers suitable for single eyelids should have a moderate, straight frame to prevent any lashes from being missed. Typically, individuals with single eyelids have straighter lashes than those with double eyelids, so to achieve perfectly curled lashes, gently curl from the base to the tip.

If you don't want the hassle of curling or applying eyeliner, attaching false eyelashes is a common and highly effective way to enhance your eyes naturally. Applying false eyelashes is an art. Instead of using full strips of false eyelashes, opt for individual lashes to create a more natural look for your eyes. Choose false lashes that are suitable in length for your natural lashes. Before applying false lashes, it's recommended to curl your lashes for a more lifted look. When applying the lashes, try to nestle them within your natural lash line for even and natural-looking results.

Here's how to apply false eyelashes:

• Use tweezers to carefully remove the false lashes from the box, avoiding damage to the lash strands
• Place the unglued false lashes on your real lashes to test the length
• Once the false lashes are the right size for your eyes, you're ready to apply lash glue
• Allow the glue to dry for about 45 seconds to 1 minute
• Gently and carefully use tweezers or your fingers to press the base and tip of the false lashes onto the lash line
• Gently press the false lashes against the real ones, then lightly apply a thin coat of mascara

Each style offers simplicity for women to wear to school, work, or casual outings without being too elaborate. The key highlight of Korean-style makeup for single eyelids is knowing how to coordinate eye shadow colors and selecting characteristic tones for different occasions.

Typically, eye makeup starts with applying a light shimmering shade on the eyelids first, followed by layering earthy pink, peach, terracotta, or wine-red eye shadow evenly on top. These are the eye shadow tones worth trying for those who desire a cute, vintage look. You can choose light pink hues, accentuated with a hint of pinkish-purple at the eye's tail. Avoid using shades like dead purple or violet, as they can make your face look older.

Another tip for single eyelids is to use highlighter in makeup. Not only does it make your single eyelids look deeper, but it also helps brighten the dark circles under your eyes. You can choose a highlighter in powder or cream form with shimmer, slightly lighter than your skin tone, to accentuate the round eye corners, making our eyes sparkle and elegant.

How to apply highlighter for eye hollows:

• First, apply foundation and concealer for the eyes. Foundation and concealer will help create a smoother surface for you to apply highlighter and other products.
• Perform powder application for the eyes
• Proceed with eyelid lifting, drawing eyelids
• Apply highlighter to the points on the face
• Dab and gently swirl highlighter in the eye hollows
• Spray makeup fixative to keep the foundation lasting

9. Lower Eye Line with White Eyeliner

Creating a thick eyeliner line for single eyelids is quite detrimental as it exposes the flaws of your eyes more visibly, making the makeup less perfect. Too thick and dark eyeliner will have adverse effects and make your eyes appear even smaller.

A natural makeup tip for single eyelids is using white eyeliner to line the eyes. Lining the lower eye line will help you enhance the size of your eyes. This eyeliner style is especially suitable for those with single eyelids, small eye bags. Note that when choosing a white eyeliner for the lower eye line, opt for one that is smudge-resistant and has clear lines. You can line close to the lash line or on the inner rim of the eye to create different effects. White lining will effectively make single eyelids appear larger, more sparkling.

10. Regularly Tend to Your Eyebrows

A well-groomed pair of eyebrows will make your eyes stand out and appear larger. Trim your eyebrows according to your face shape, then use an eyebrow pencil to fill in the natural arch, followed by gently brushing with mascara to keep the shape. Choose eyebrow pencil and mascara colors that are not too different from your hair color, as this can disrupt your makeup look.

Remember, eyebrows are an important part of the eyes. Therefore, avoid drawing overly thick and dark eyebrows or leaving them unruly. Neat and natural eyebrows are a fantastic makeup tip for single eyelids. It will make your single eyelids appear larger and more beautiful.
