Answer 1

i'm part korean and sometimes i like to make my eyes look a little bigger. here's what i do.

line the eyes with a medium brown from the outside of my eye to about the middle then i do a much lighter shade from the middle to the inside.

blend three shades of eyeshadow, starting darkest closest to the eyelashes up to the first crease.

apply white or cream shimmer eyeshadow directly under the brow to make it look higher. curl your eyelashes and wear a lengthening mascara.
if you don't have very long eyelashes buy some fake ones, but very sparse thin ones, so other's can't tell they aren't real.

good luck!

:: How to Make Your Eyes Look Bigger ::

One could argue that the eyes are the most important feature of the face, since we tend to look at them the most. To make them stand out, follow the tips below.

Instructions:

STEP 1: Use eyeliner only on the outer rim of the eyelids, not the inner rim.

STEP 2: Blend eyeliner with a cotton swab rather than leaving it as a harsh line.

STEP 3: Avoid drawing eyeliner on the inner corner of the lower lid; instead, start the line at the beginning of eyelash growth or even closer to the middle of the eye.

STEP 4: Use a light shade of eye shadow on the upper lid leading up to the brow, which will open up the eye. A darker color can be used in the fold of the eye.

STEP 5: Consider wearing false eyelashes to give your eyes a more wide-eyed, innocent look. Be sure to use natural-looking eyelashes.

STEP 6: Curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler before applying mascara to give you the same effect as false eyelashes.

STEP 7: Try a black mascara if brown does not bring out your eyes enough.

Tips & Warnings:

- Chill your eye pencils before you sharpen them. They'll be less likely to break.

- Try a fat crayon, which has a creamy-powdered texture, for a liner that is soft and less severe.

- Try getting a makeover the next time you're at a cosmetic counter. Ask the person who does your makeover to help you emphasize your eyes.

- Lining your eyes all the way around will make them look smaller, not bigger.

Like everyone else said... eyelash curler and one good coat of mascara.

Someone already mentioned benefit but didn't mention the specific product I think you need. I'll try to find you a link ( I put it below)

Regaurdless if I have on a full face of make-up ( I do this step next to last before my bronzer ) or Im in a total rush..I always do this. If I am running late for work, I do this in the car and put on mascara and look fine. Its great when your hung over, sick or super tired-it disguses any of those and makes you look "wide eyed and bushy tailed" as the old ladies at my work tell me.

Just take the Eye Bright pencil and draw a "c" around the inside corner of your eyes it works magic.

Goodluck!

have you taken a look at Beneift cosmetics? I'm a big fan and use a lot of their eye products. Even though I'm Irish, I'm sure that (as an ameican company) they do shades for all skin tones. Some of my favourites include eye bright, high brow, lying eyes etc. the staff are always really helpful too & i've heard they are usually trained make-up artists. you should pop into a counter a have a chat with them :)

Answer 5

Make sure you use eyedrops that will whiten the eye, Clear eyes always give the illusion of big eyes.
Use white eyeliner on your lids and a small ammount in the crease of your eyes, When using your mascara, add definition to the end of your lashes to make the eye appear longer.
Simply apply mascara and then pinch your end lashes together :)

Answer 6

A dark shade of eyeliner on the top lids just above the eyelashes, and mascara will make ur eyes look bigger.

Answer 7

just use top liner...thin line dark brown. try a white sheer shadow on top and in the inner crease of eye. Curl your lashes up and use a good black mascara..will open the eye up a lot!

Answer 8

I would try some mascara,if you don't want your lases clumpy then i'd try some from Mary Kay.Or mabe try some fake eyelashes.I seen Tyra do a show on how to make your eyes seem bigger,and she used white eyeliner on the bottom......

Answer 9

Eyelash curler and good mascara. Also dont line the inner rims of your eyes. That can make your eyes look smaller.

Answer 10

I use a white eyeshadow and put in the inside corners of eyes.
