We know that using makeup can make our eyes look brighter, more alert, and accent our entire face. What you may not know however is that makeup can also help make your eyes look bigger or smaller. The most common thing is trying to make eyes look larger if eyes are too squinty or thinner than normal. There are a few tips and tricks on using makeup to help make your eyes look larger, all you need is the right know-how.

Curling lashes before your apply mascara, or after the mascara dries, can really help to open up your eye area and make your eyes look larger – this is one of the most commonly used tips of people trying to enlarge their eyes. Another good tip is to apply mascara to your bottom lashes as well as your top, if you usually avoid doing so. This makes your eyes look more even and opens them up as well. More tips for helping your eyes appear larger include using a white liner pencil on the lower edge of your eye – this draws the eyes away from a squinty look and makes them appear bigger. Try putting it in the inner rims of your eyes as well for a popping look. Keeping your eyebrows tweezed and groomed is essential to helping your eyes look bigger – this is especially true if you have naturally thick eyebrows. Doing so will make your eyes look bigger in comparison to your eyebrows, helping them look larger in general.
