How To Give Yourself Bigger Eyes

Most of us are not “blessed” with those big, doe eyes that make our hearts melt. Believe it or not, most of those celebrities that you see with the large, beautiful eyes weren’t born with those either. The large eyes are all in the makeup techniques and products that you use. With these simple tips below, you will have larger, show stopping eyes in no time.
False Lashes
Let’s start with the most obvious option of them all first. If you choose to use false lashes, then you will instantly be giving your eyes that immediate boost that it needs to appear more full and more open. If you choose individual false lashes, no one will even be able to tell that the eyelashes aren’t growing from your very own eye lids!
If you do purchase false lashes, and they are not individual lashes, then you will probably need to take out a pair of scissors and cut them so that they will fit appropriately along your lash line. Some will also require for you to cut the eyelashes at slightly different lengths so that you’re eyelashes will appear more authentic.
Curling your Lashes
Here’s one that everyone can do under 30 seconds. Before you apply the mascara to your eyes each morning, take your eyelashes curler and squeeze the base of your lashes with the curler for 10 seconds or so. Follow up by applying the mascara, and you will see an immediate difference.

TIP: Giving your curler a quick blast with the blow dryer will help curl your eyelashes eve more. Just be sure to check the curler before you use it to ensure that it isn’t too hot.

Choose Light Eye Shadows
All beauty experts swear by their white eye shadow. The easiest way to open your eyes up more, without even needing to apply mascara, is to put just a bit of light eyeshadow right inside the inner ridge of the eye (think right where the upper lid connects with the lower eyelid, close to the tear duct). The lighter the skin is around the eyes, the more open and youthful they appear.

TIP: To really give yourself that doe-eyed look, experiment with using a white eye liner and lining your lower eyelid with it.

Take Care of your Brows
Having well maintained and perfected brows will go a long way in making your eyes appear larger. Remember that your eyebrows frame not only your eyes, but your entire face. If you have unkempt eyebrows then your whole “look” may be destroyed. If you are unsure about how to shape your eyebrows, go to a professional to have them done once and then follow the shape that they have left for you when the hairs begin to grow in.

NOTE: Some women think that having mascara on both their lower eyelashes and their upper eyelashes is a “must”, ad that it will also help open up their eyes and make them appear larger. For some women this may be true, but for the majority this could not be further from the truth. Try to avoid using mascara and eyeliner on your lower lashes and lash line and curl your upper lashes instead. You will be amazed by the results.
