what can i do with my eye makeup to make my brown eyes look bigger?

Question

anyone have any tips??

Answer 1

If you want something to appear larger, apply a bright or light color. If you want to minimize something, or make it recede, apply a dark color. So, it depends on your eye shape. If you have a heavily lidded eye, apply a light or bright color to the lower lid, and smoke out the crease - or, in your case, the "puff".

You could probably wear any color eye shadow, but don't be afraid of color if you want someone to notice your eyes. Put white or silver eye shadow around the tearduct. Pretty!

Always wear liner for definition. And on the bottom, smoke out the lash line - and the inside rim if you dont wear contacts. Some people swear white eye pencil on the inside rim makes the eye area look bigger. I like black. I think its sexier. Try both. Some models use a blue pencil on the upper inside rim. This makes the whites look whiter (but you have to fix it ever couple of hours.)

Use mascara and a lash primer.

Study the looks you like in fashion magazines.

Answer 2

Use a light nude eyeshadow all over the toplid and line your eyes with a contrasting shade like purple or blue shadow. Use eyeshadow with a strong pigment like MAC/Stila/Bobbi Brown. My favorite purple eyeliner at the moment is Black Plum by Bobbi Brown. I use the Gel Ink but the powder shadow in the same shade is also available.

Apply dark brown or black mascara and always use an eyelash curler before applying mascara.

For extra drama, line your eyes (both upper and lower lids) with a very black eyeliner (MAC Fluidline or Stila Smudgepot) and skip eyeshadow altogether.

Answer 3

Use dark brown eye-pencil and light brown eye shadow.
And a brown mascara.
Make sure your eye lashes touch the sky...

Answer 4

I read in Instyle or Cosmo that applying a lavendar eyeshadow will bring more attention to your eyes. Don't go over board. I use a smude/eyeliner brush and wet it then apply the lavendar close to my eyelashes.

Answer 5

apply shimmer in the inner corners, and right under your eyebrows, it really helps. so does eyelash curlers and good mascara, and eyeliner.
good shimmer is "too faced first base eye shadow base:"
its really good!
also, to find exact eyeshadows that look good with your skin, go to your closest makeup store, like mac, lancome, or sephora for a free consultation

Answer 6

use eyeliner or pencil to line under your eye too (but not inside) and also go for light couloured eye shadows and use a darker one for the shade

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9
