10 steps to make your eyes look bigger! =)

Hey everyone =) So I thought I'd share with you a few tips on how to make your eyes look bigger, all of these are pretty simple, but can make a big difference! These are in order =)


1) Keep your eybrows in shape! - Its amazing what a difference your eyebrows can make. It completely changes how you look, and if your eyebrows are nicely shaped, it will lift up your eyes and make them look more defined.

2) Don't apply dark colour eyeshadows all over the lid- This will close up your eyes and give the impression of them receding inwards.

3) If you're going to use dark colours, keep them very close to the top lashline, and not really much on the bottom. This will open up your eyes and make them look bigger.

4) Use a good lengthening mascara. You want your lashes to have the pefect balance between volume and length. You want them to be long to open out your eyes, but also to be volumised to create the illusion that they are bigger.

5) Curl your lashes. This also (like said before) will open out your eyelashes and make them look not so closed off.

6) If you want, apply a little bit of gel or pencil liner to the OUTER parts of your eye, eg in the outer top lashline, and outer inner lashline. I also find that just putting it on the outer top lashline looks really pretty. If you go all the way in it will make your eyes look smaller.

7) Use bright colours on the inner half of your eye - Those like silver and gold will brighten up your eye using the shimmer.

8) Conceal your eyes well. - Hide blueness and dark circles with a salmon-toned concealer, the orangey tones will conteract the blueness and hide them better, this makes your eyes look brigther and more awake!

9) Use a small bit of white eyeliner in you waterlines if you want, this will again make your eyes look bigger, brighter and more awake! (this doesnt work quite so well on brown eyes as it can look alittle harsh, but try it out and see what works for you)

10) use a small bit of white eyeshadow (it can be shimmery) on the VERY inner part of your eye, near the tearduct. This makes SUCH an amazing differences it's unbelieveable. Also you can do the same to your browbone to brighten up you eyes.  the NYX jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk is perfect for this.
