Makeup is such a beautiful thing, it enhances your natural features and can make you feel so much more confident with in yourself.
On the other hand, there are techniques and products that don't enhance your features to the fullest. Specifically today we are going to be talking eyes, there are so many products on the market that make your eyes appear so much smaller than they are.
I went years using the wrong products and doing certain techniques that made my eyes appear smaller than what they really are. I don't have smallest eyes but they also aren't huge so over the course of the last couple of years I've learnt some tips on how to enhance the size of my eyes rather than close them up, So today I'm here to share them!
1. Lets start with eyeshadow, dark shadows (blacks, dark browns, greys) all over the lid will close your eyes up and make them appear a lot smaller. Instead of putting a dark colour over your whole eye, try applying your darkest shade in your crease only and popping a nice light shade (beige, gold, silver etc.) on your lid to really brighten up your eyeshadow look, and make that eyelid appear much bigger.
2. Eyeliner, many people avoid this as it has a common misconception of closing up the eye, which it can. There is a fine line between it making the eye look bigger to smaller. A nice simple thin line along your top lash line really opens up and lifts your eye. Also a nice simple winged eyeliner can also surprisingly lift your eye, and create an 'illusion' of a much wider eye shape.
3. While we are on the topic of eyeliner a quick simple tip is to apply a white or beige eyeliner to your bottom water line, and that will instantly brighten your eye.
4. Another really simple technique is to apply a light shimmery coloured eyeshadow into your inner corner, everyday with our doubt I do this, it again really brightens and opens the eye. If you have gone with a darker crease that day you will notice a difference. Doing this simple step is also the best and most noticeable way to widen your eye shape.
5. My final tip is to curl those lashes! This technique INSANTLY opens up your eye!
