A Beauty Guide To Making Your Eyes Appear Bigger
The eyes are the gateway to the soul and can make or break your makeup look. Whether your eye shape is round, almond, or hooded, if they are smaller, it may appear that you don’t have much space to create the perfect beat, but there are more ways than one. And we don’ keep beauty secrets over here, so we’re dropping the beauty gems and breaking down how to make your eyes appear bigger for smaller eyes.
- Curl Your Lashes
One of the most underrated beauty items is the eyelash curler. No matter the shape of the lashes, curlers can bring your natural lashes to the next level. Curling before mascara is an effective way to make the eye appear wider and more awake. - Define Eyelid Crease
Defining your crease is a game-changer. First, you’ll apply your base color to your lid and then take a darker shadow a couple of shades deeper than your skin tone and apply it along the crease—it’s a total eye-opener (pun intended.) - Lighten the Waterline
The mod dolls in the 1970s had it right. For a young doe eye aesthetic, make-up artists placed white liner along the waterline of super-models. So, this trick has been around for decades, but that’s only because it works. Opt for a nude liner instead of pure white for a more subtle slay. - Highlight The Brow Bone and Inner Eye Corners
I don’t know who told you highlighter was just for the cheekbones sis, but they lied to you. If highlighter were a girl, she’d be that girl because she can do it all. Adding a generous amount of highlighter to the center eyelid and the inner corner of the eyes will give your small eyes an instant lift. - Conceal Dark Circles
Did you know dark circles can make the eyes appear smaller? We know dark circles are not your fault, we can blame it on genetics or countless all-nighters, but it’s nothing a little concealer can’t fix. Adding a concealer, a shade or two lighter under the eye, and gently buffing around and under the eye will illuminate and make your eyes pop.
