Are there any make-up tricks to make your eyes appear bigger?

Question

I have heard of ways of applying make-up in a way that can make your eyes appear bigger.Whats the trick? Also i have between hazel and brown...do you know of any other ways to really make them pop or stand out??

Answer 1

Wear eyeliner on the outside of your eyes. When you put it on the inside it makes them look smaller. You can make it thick so that it gives you a dramatic look or thin for day wear.On the inner corners of your eyes (like near ur nose) add some shimmer. It will give you an almond shape/babydoll eyes. Then apply lots and lots and lots of mascara on lower and upper lashes. Use dark eyeshadow on the outersides of your lids. Add some shimmer or white shadow under the arches of ur eyebrows and there you go, a gorgeous you!

Answer 2

If I were you I would use purple and green to make your eyes pop.
As for making them larger, DO NOT apply eyeliner to the bottom of your eyes!!! Just on the top and alittle in the bottom corner of the outside of your eye. Then put light eyeliner like a soft cream on the bottom lid. Also use a light type of eyeshadow on the inside of the lid and then on the crease use a darker complimentary shade.... Hope it helps!

Answer 3

use a darker or medium eyeshadow (not too dark) and apply it all around your eyes, just a little but thicker than you would eyeliner and then blend it in so it's not defined. Then take a dark brown or black eyliner and line all around your eyes in a thin line thats not too defined. than use a black mascara and put it on real thick but not clumpy on all you lashes. Also take a medium shade and apply it with a brush to your eye crease to create a halo effect.
experiment with shades that work with your skin tones. try mostly natural shades with maybe a little pop of color in the corner. just find whatever looks best on you.

Answer 4

One thing that helps it to only line your upper lid. Lining upper and lower tend to close in the eye, making it appear smaller.

Always curl your lashes before you apply mascara.

Apply a black or brown-black mascara to your upper lashes and a brown to your lower.

When you put mascara on the lower lashes, just do the outer corners, not the entire lower lashes.

Skip the mascara on your lower lashes.

Answer 5

Don't use eyeliner. it only makes your eyes appear smaller. Make sure your eyebrow is the right shape. It should begin at the inner corner of the eye, arch at the center of the pupil, and end at the outer corner of the eye.

Answer 6

I use Lash Exact mascara by CoverGirl. You know how sometimes you get "racoon eyes" when you wear mascara? Well, I don't know what it is but when you pull the brush out theres no clumps on it. So, you don't have clumps on you eyelashes and the end result... Clump free longer looking lashes!!

Answer 7

Swipe mascara on. Instantly bigger eyes. Then, try lining your eyes so that the lining meets at the corners of your eyes.

Answer 8

mascara makes your eyes look bigger because it opens up your eyes.

some people on here have said not to use eye liner because it makes your eyes look smaller... that may be the case, but it's eye liner that makes your eyes "pop out" and attracts attention

my advice : eye liner + mascara .... and don't forget the eye shadow.

Answer 9

I have heard that lining your eyes on the bottom and not lining your upper lid makes your eyes look bigger

Answer 10

DO NOT WEAR EYELINER!!!!!!!!!!! eyeliner makes you eyes look smaller, you should wear masscara to open up the lashes making you eyes appear larger.
