5 Effective Tricks To Brighten Your Eyes & Make Them Look Bigger
The thing that most women desire, after juicy looking, plump lips, is having bigger eyes. Sadly, not all of us were blessed with sexy eyes that can pierce through any men’s heart. If you are a “proud owner” of teeny-tiny eyes (like me), don’t feel bad! Makeup can solve every problem! Let’s see how to solve the "tiny eye" problem!
Highlighter The Inner Corner Of The Eye
This makeup trick is one of the most popular (you’ve already read/heard about it, I guess) but we have to mention it, because it really works! As simple as it sounds, applying light, slightly shimmery eyeshadows in the inner corner of the eyes will make them pop immediately. Shimmer catches the light which contributes to a brighter looking eye area. Makeup artists advise to apply both on the upper and the lower eye lid, covering 1/3 of their area (start from the tear duct moving towards the middle of the eye).

Curl Your Lashes
Applying mascara is not enough – you need to curl those beautiful lashes first! Curling your lashes widens your eyes beautifully and the whole process takes less than a minute! Don’t tell me you don’t have a spare minute, please..
Since our goal is to curl the lashes, not crimp them, it’s important not to go crazy with the eyelash curler – easy with the pressure, ladies!
Pro Tip: Heat up the lash curler a bit, using your hair dryer, before curling your lashes – the heat will help them keep their shape longer. Also, don’t forget that mascara always goes after curling, not before!
Don’t Be Afraid Of Dark Colors
Most people with small eyes tend to avoid using dark eyeshadows, because they think brown and black shades will “shrink” their eyes even more. Not true. It’s all about the right application technique.
Applying brown/grayish color in the outer 1/3 of the eye lids and blending it well with a smudge brush will accentuate the natural beauty of your look and will make your eyes appear larger.
Experimenting with black/blown eyeliner is another option, but note that you have to take into consideration the shape of your eyes first (I’ll prepare another post to give you some guidance). Besides, you might need some time to master the whole eyeliner application technique - it does take some practice and loads of patience, so be prepared for trials and errors. Nevertheless, once you become a pro, you won't regret the time spent.

Concealer For Brighter Look
Even though concealer is generally used for covering dark circles and imperfections, this is not its only purpose. Applying concealer under the eyes (one that has shade lighter than your natural skin color) will brighten the eye area and will make you look more awake. The market offers a great variety of concealers to choose from, but if your main goal is to visually enlarge your eyes I would recommend getting an illuminating one (stay away from shimmery products, though, because they draw too much attention to the area around the eyes and it looks quite unnatural).
If you have matt concealer at hand, you can highlight the brow bone with it, which will lift up your brows, hence open your eyes.
Pro Tip: Always apply concealer by patting it into the skin, instead of rubbing it, to ensure better absorption. This application technique will allow it to set better, hence the product won’t accentuate the fine lines around the eyes (which is something we all want to avoid).
Nude Lips Rock!
Nude lips are not for everyone, but if they look good on you – take advantage of that! When you “neutralize” the color of your lips, you draw more attention to the eyes, which automatically makes them pop. Apart from, why do you think most ladies pair the smoky eye with nude lips? Because the combo rocks!
