How To Make Your Eyes Look Bigger

Everyone wants big, vibrant and beautiful eyes. Anyone can make their eyes appear bigger regardless of their actual size.

 The items you will need are a pair of false eyelashes, eye shadow, mascara, white eyeliner and black or midnight blue eyeliner.

 The tools you will need to have on hand are an eye shadow brush, cotton balls, q-tips, a small spray bottle of water and an all purpose make up brush.

Before you begin, make sure your hands are clean. The first step is to cut your lashes in half and keep the outer lashes. Using tweezers to hold the lashes, apply a few small dots of eyelash adhesive and place them on the outer corners of each eye. Press them onto your lid for several seconds to make sure they are secure.

Next apply an eye shadow color of your choice as a base over your entire eye lid to prevent creasing and to help additional shadow adhere to your eyes. Choose a color that is complementary to your eye color.

 Start out with a light application beginning in the center of the lid and build up with each layer. This will open up the eye. Use a contour brush and apply the shadow directly under the lower lash line starting in the middle.

Use an all purpose make up brush to whisk away eye shadow that has fallen onto your face.

Start with your eye liner brush and spritz a small amount of water on the brush, then dip it into a black or midnight blue cream liner. A dark color works well to enhance the eye because it contrasts against the whites of your eyes.

 While looking downward use the brush to fill in the underside roots of the upper lashes. Wiggle the brush slightly to fill in and color the lashes that have separated. This will create a seamless look between your lashes and the fake lashes.

 Do the same thing on the top side of the upper lashes. For your lower lashes start in the middle below your lash line when applying the liner. Make sure to apply to the middle and go a little to the left and right, but do not apply to the entire lower lash line.

That will close in your eye and make them appear smaller. Use the contour brush to blend in the liner on the top and bottom lashes.

The final step is the mascara and a touch of white eye liner. This is the crowning touch for your new doe eyed look. Instead of using the whole mascara wand, using just the tip separates your lashes. Apply a couple coats of mascara to the upper and bottom lashes.

Wiggling the mascara brush will create a fuller and more evenly coated look to your lashes. Finally, apply white eye liner to the inner lash line on the bottom of your eyes. This will take away redness, further opens your eyes and makes the eyes appear brighter and bigger.
