Using Makeup
There's nothing like having a big pair of beautiful sparkling eyes. Unfortunately, nature does not always cooperate, leaving us with eyes that fall short of our ideal. If you'd like to make your eyes look bigger, there are several ways to go about doing that, and not all of them involve makeup!
1 Don't apply eyeliner all the way around your eyes.
Doing so will cause your eyes to look smaller, as they will appear
fenced or ringed in by the circle line. This also means avoiding the smoky eye look).
This is not necessarily a bad thing––small eyes can still look
mysterious and dramatic, but if you're looking for a bigger eye effect,
that's not the effect that you want.
- When you apply eyeliner on your lower lashes, do it just below the lash line, not inside the rim. In particular, don't let the line come all the way to the inner corner of your eye.
- You might also want to line your wet line with white or other light color. It makes eyes look noticeably bigger, but be careful, as overdoing it will look awkward.
2 Extend the eyeliner beyond the outer corners of your eyes.
This line should move upwards a little as well, mimicking a very long
eyelash. This technique will make your eyes appear wider, but is a
tricky technique to do well. If the eyeliner isn't applied
symmetrically, it can make your eyes look lopsided, so try doing this
with a mirror or ask a friend to help initially.
3 Add white eyeshadow or eyeliner to the inner corner of your eyes.
This technique helps to bring more light into your eyes and produces
the effect of larger-looking eyes. Use soft white though; a harsh white
will look theatrical. You can also use the white liner on your lower
waterline, which extends the white part of your eye.
Eyebrow and Eyelash Solutions
1 Groom your eyebrows. In much the same way a picture frame affects the way the picture looks, your eyebrows affect the way your eyes look. The simple act of removing stray hairs can make your eyes more noticeable. However, don't make the mistake of assuming that the thinner your eyebrows, the bigger your eyes will look.

Make your eyelashes look longer. There are several ways to go about doing this:
3 Shape your eyes. Apply white eyeliner to your waterline, or apply black eyeliner from the outer corner to the middle, not the whole way.
- Curl your lashes.
- Apply lighter eye shadows like cream, beige, white etc.
- Apply a thin line of eyeliner on the top of your eyelid and wing it out.
Treating Eye Problems
1 Reduce any puffiness in your eyes. Swelling in the skin on and around your eyes can make them look smaller. Try these steps to reduce puffiness:
Get plenty of sleep.
Wash your face with cool water.
Place cold, used teabags over your eyes. The tannins in the tea act as an astringent, tightening the skin.
Reduce your salt intake. Too much salt leads to water retention, which leads to eye puffiness.
Exercise to increase circulation, which in turn reduces water retention.
