How to Make Your Eyes Look Bigger: 9 Makeup Tips You Can Try

Curling Eyelashes

For those of you without naturally long eyelashes, consider curling them! Curling your eyelashes followed by mascara will create the illusion that your eyes are bigger. What's more, the tool is simple to use, as intimidating as it might look. Just remember to curl twice, once at the root and another about 1/3 up the way.

You can curl your eyelashes after applying the mascara first, but make sure the mascara is totally dried. You might risk getting your lashes stuck to your tools if you don’t. It’s a pretty good tip so you could always curl your lashes without getting rid of the mascara all over again.

For additional staying power, use a hair dryer to blast the curler for at least three seconds. Then before you start, check if the metal is too hot, else you will only damage your eyelashes.

Fake Eyelashes

More specifically, individual fake lashes. It’s not as intimidating as it sounds we promise. Especially if you just don’t think you have the right lashes to pull the big eye off.

To apply, you will need a lash adhesive, so go and get that too. Take a cluster and apply a tiny amount of the glue, leaving them to dry for about ten seconds. You want them to be tacky, not wet. Lastly, you just need to apply a few clusters to the eye outer corner, only for your upper eyelids. Then be amazed by your new marvelous looking huge eyes.

White Eyeshadows

Some celebrities exploit this technique to make their eyes appear larger. A little light eyeshadow in the inside ridge of the eye, right where the eyelids meet each other, close to the tear ducts. It just creates an illusion of brighter, whiter eyes!

Well, you don’t have to use white eyeshadows. Theoretically, the white coloured waterline will blend wit the white of the eye, creating a bigger look. But white colour doesn’t exactly goes great with anyone’s eye and only leave a harsh appearance. Instead, try the champagne or light taupe colored ones. Something golden will give a little shimmer to the sexiness. But avoid this if you are really tired, since your panda eyes will look worse with this method.

Highlight

Tired eyes equate smaller eyes. If need to look awake and still sexy, the highlighter is the best friend you can ever ask for. The shimmery eyeshadow should be around two shades lighter than the tone of your skin. It should be applied to the inner corner of your eye, roughly between the nose and tear duct. It makes your eyes widens while making it look further apart. In addition, it conceals all the darkness you need to hide, leaving you looking rested and energetic.

Blusher

A cream blush is simply the best choice for looking awake. Not only does it give you that healthy glow, the cream blends easily so it looks natural. Blusher should only be a complement to the rest of your makeup. You will easily go overboard with it so keep that in mind. Start small then slowly build up from there. It should only be noticeable enough to look like the cheeks a natural flush.

Bottom Lashes

To apply them on bottom lashes, vertically sweep the brush back and forth. For eyeliner, give pencil eyeliner a try, they are usually softer. Then carefully smudge your mark with a finger for a natural look. Take note that the lower lashes are the ones that denote your eye perimeter, a slight liner beneath them would show off a wider set of eyes.

Go for a Red Lip

Red must almost always be the go to color for the smoky, sexy look. Pick a shade that fits your skin tone the best, try them and find one you like best. Your red lips will divert attention away as the prominent feature. With that, people will less likely to notice if your eyes are tired.
