How to: Make Your Eyes Look Bigger

If you're looking to achieve that "wide awake", opened eye look, just keep reading :)

These are the products I chose to use- Left to right: Lancome Fatale mascara in Brown, MAC eye shadow in Corduroy, NYX eye liner pencil in Yellow, and Urban Decay's NAKED Palette (Virgin & Sin)

Step 1:
You should always start with a clean canvas, so after you have washed your face and applied your moisterizer and primer, go ahead and start with your little bit of eye shadow. You will want to use either a white or cream color shadow with some shimmer to it. Apply the shadow to your inner corner (tear duct area) and to your brow bone. This will highlight your eyes, giving them a natural bright look.*You can also dab some on the middle of your eye lid to add some dimension*

Step 2:
 Next take some white, light yellow, or peach eye liner and apply that onto your waterline; this will REALLY make your eyes open up.

Step 3:
Following the previous step, use brown or black pencil eye liner (or a dark eye shadow for a softer look) to smudge into your upper lash line and the outer 2/3 of your bottom lashes.

Step 4:
Once you have completed the steps above, apply the mascara of your choice to your upper lashes, and use what is left over on your mascara wand on your lower lashes.

This was my complete look!
*Note- this is a very natural look. It is not meant to be a full makeup tutorial.


I hope you enjoy this look using these simple steps and tricks :)

Until next time... Have a beautiful day!
