Ways To Make Your Eyes Look Bigger
It is often said that women get what they want just by the batting of their eyes, and it’s true sometimes, it is so cool when you are trying to be all cute, batting your eyes, trying to get what you want, but get this, all that power is multiplied when your eyes look bigger! It’s such an amazing feeling.
Even if your goal isn’t something as mischievous as getting what you want, if it’s to look fashionable and classy, then it’s only right that your eye makeup involves making your eyes look bigger.
To achieve this, you would need to use the following tips:
1. Begin with skincare: Skincare prep is very vital at all times, much more when you want to apply makeup. The first step to having brighter eyes is using the right products, for example, under-eye patches and eye creams are magical in reducing puffiness while hydrating the eyes, especially ones with dark circles.
2. Use an under-eye concealer: The appearance of dark circles gives the illusion that the eyes are smaller than they are, so when planning to apply makeup to make your eyes look bigger, it is best to arm yourself with an under-eye concealer that helps to even the skin tone of the eyes, making them materialize radiantly.
3. Wear shiny and brightening eyeshadow: The shade of eyeshadow you use is very vital in helping you create a doe-eyed look. To make your eyes pop, you will need to use eyeshadows that are of light to medium tone, and the best results are gotten from eyeshadows that give more of an au naturel feel.
4. Don’t overline: When lining your eyes, use only a thin coat on either your top or bottom lash line (not both), as dark eyeliner is known for making the eyes look smaller. If you have already used a thin coat of eyeliner and you are not fully satisfied with the results, you can go in with your eyeshadow which should be brown and medium-toned.
5. Curl your lashes: The lashes normally frame the eyes and most times this makes them look smaller, curling your lashes helps to prevent this by lifting the lashes, fanning them out, and instantly making your eyes look wider and larger.
6. Use mascara generously: Mascara is popularly acknowledged as one of the most important weapons when it comes to getting a cat-eyed look. It helps to give your lashes more length, volume, and mystique, and the right dose is three coats.
7. Shape your brows: Brows are considered the finishing touches of eye makeup as they help to create a balanced look for the face, and it is crucial to spend time grooming them as they tend to frame and intensify the eyes. A tweak is to prolong the length of your brow so the tip points to your ears instead of reaching down towards your eyes, this helps to create a confident and sexy look.
8. Use your eyeliner to create a winged look: Cleopatra was known as the queen of winged eyes, and she was one of the best in the game, so channel your inner Cleopatra by using a winged eyeliner. You can do this by drawing a thin line just above your lashes, creating a delicate flick by narrowing the eyeliner outwards from the last third of your lashes, and this method works best if you naturally have small eyes.
