The best tips on how to make your eyes look bigger! (just using makeup)

                 Tips on how to make your eyes look bigger!!                 - Try it and see for yourself! 

Okay so my eyes look a little uneven but thats the makeup talking. The picture was taken quite a while ago on my old camera but I have so much stuff to get through for christmas and my birthday is coming up;) that you guys might just have to make-do with this one for now(also excuse the eyebrows, I was trying to grow them fuller at the time). Also this looks tonnes more effective when zoomed out but it was the only way you could see it zoomed in :) xx


1) First apply a base for your eyeshadow(I use the collection 2000 concealer to hide imperfections on the lids).
2) Apply one eyeshadow colour over the whole lid and up to the brow bone that is 1-2 shades lighter than your normal skin colour(I would recommend an off white for fair ladies like myself).
3) Blend a matte brown/grey colour into the crease and slightly above as we are going to recreate the lid using special tricks).
4) With a small flat brush, close your eyes one at a time and recreate the lid using a a matte cream shadow that is 2-3 shades lighter than skin colour(white for fair ladies, I used NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk), and apply over just the lid but going slightly above your natural crease leaving the highest bit of your earlier created crease available so that it should give the impression of a larger lid and higher crease.
5) Over the cream eyeshadow you applied to create the larger lid, use a Light shimmery eyeshadow(like a highlight) on top to set the cream and avoid putting any shimmers over the crease colour as the matte colour creates the inwards effect making the crease look more cut. Putting shimmer over the matte crease colour will catch the light and make the crease look fake. This is why we use shimmer over the lid because we want the lids to stand out and the crease to appear cut.
6) The eyes need to look precise, so use a black eyeliner and apply to the top tight line and as thinly as possible on the upper lid getting thicker slightly going outwards to give definition  Applying too thin will enclose the eyes whilst apply thinly will give definition like a most bigger eyes have.
7) Apply white or flesh coloured eyeliner on the bottom water line.
8) Apply a soft matte brown/grey eyeshadow under the bottom lash line on the outer 2 thirds.
9) Curl lashes however you prefer. ( A good tip is to apply the thinnest coat of mascara possible before curling, too much could damage the lashes) Then curl your lashes and apply your mascara after wards, this will give you a curl that will last all day
10) Apply neat generous coats of mascara.
11) And lastly define brows to frame the eyes and face.

and Voila! Your eyes will be the biggest you could possibly make them just using makeup! :D Hope this helped!
