i want my eyes to look bigger, any ideas!?

Question

i have blue eyes and blond hair.my eyes are a bit small and i want to make them noticeable so that theyre the first thindg people notice. any ideas.(i dont want it to look caked on,i want it kinda natural looking).thanks!

Answer 1

use black eyeliner and black mascara it works every time TRUST ME!!!! try maybelline mascara in blackest black and pretty much any brand of eyeliner make sure u line the upper and lower lash lines and this will definitely be a natural looking eye opener

Answer 2

Try using a flesh toned kohl pencil on your waterline (the bottom inner rim of your eye) and the tearduct. Using a flesh toned, slightly pinky or peachy pencil instead of a white one will make your eyes look wider and more awake without being too harsh and obvious. I would recommend Benefit's Eye Bright, however if you're looking for something lower end and slightly cheaper, I'm sure you'll find a few in your local drugstore. You could also try putting this kohl pencil just under the second half of your eye brow arch, you'd be surprised how much difference this can make, by not only making you look more awake, but giving the illusion of more lid space and more groomed eye brows! Another way of making your eyes look wider and more awake is using an eyelash curler before applying mascara. This makes a huge difference, especially if you have longer eyelashes which are pretty straight. Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

Dido! I use a kohl colored eyeliner on top and bottom and curl my lashes with two coats of mascara...smudge the eyeliner just a little to prevent a sharp line but not so much that it looks dirty. Now wear no eyeshadow or a gold or silver (very lightly) even if you dont wear eyeshadow put a silver or white shadow in the corner of your eyes...it makes them look larger (watch Carmindy on TLC's a Makeover Story :-) Also to bring all of the focus on your eyes...dont put it anywhere else...ie dark lipstick or heavy blush...a soft pink blush and pink gloss brings all the focus to your eyes...trust me the first thing everyone says to me is "oh my gosh you have the biggest eyes"! Good luck!

Answer 4

I've been told that when you put eyeliner (preferably dark) on the inside of your eye-lids, it makes the white of your eye stand out more so it gives the effect of being bigger than they really are. When you do this, you need to avoid very dark eyeshadows or the effect will be the complete opposite!

You should also experiment with different eye-shadow and eyeliner combinations and styles.

Answer 5

Use eyeliner and completely line your eyes. The perfect eye liner is: CoverGirl Perfect Point Plus.(I use onyx 200.Its $4.50 at Dollar General.) Also 2 mascaras work great for me try: 3XL(sorry I'm not sure the companys name but you'll see it, it has a huge bottle.Not sure of the price 3.00-5.00 though.Same for Max) or Max has a great mascara in black and navy blue. Oh and if your eyes arent too sensitive put black or dark blue eyeliner on your water line(above your bottom lasheline.)

Answer 6

If you want to keep it natural use black eyeliner to make a thin line, not a thick one..right at your lashline, and use a dark black mascara.You should also try a white liner under the eye like the inner part of the lower lid, that will extend the whites of your eyes, which make them look bigger. Try a neutral colored shadow...nothing dark.

Answer 7

Taupes, greys, violet, purples, and a darker shade of blue really makes the blue pop. If you use eye liner, try putting eye liner only on the top lid and not the lower, putting it on the lower might be making your eyes look smaller and scrunched together, if you only line the top then it will open it up.

Answer 8

if you where eyeliner, make sure it's not a lot and it's not too thick. This will make your eyes look smaller. Instead opt for volumizing mascara and you should try those eye shadows that are made for by i believe covergirl? that are made to bring out your eyecolor. they are like $4 at any drug store and they work well.

Answer 9

most times a dark green helps being the blue out of the eyes and makes it more emphasized. so try that with some dark green eyeliner if not go with the normal black or dark blue

Answer 10

All I can say is that those ideas are great, remember to NOT over do the make up. yes the volumizing mascara will make your eyes look bigger, but if you over do it, it will make your make up look masty, it will lookd caked on. so Again, great ideas, just watch how much you put on.
Hope i helpe some.
