10 easy ways to make your eyes look bigger with makeup.
-
Work on your eyebrows
When we say that the person who does your eyebrows can make or break your look, we mean it! Eyebrows, when done well, help add structure to your look and frame the eye area. Bold, bushy, yet structured brows help draw attention to your eyes and make them pop. Ensure to fill any gaps in your brows to make an impact. Also, a longer tail and slightly lifted outer corners help enhance your overall eye look.
-
Focus on under-eye care
Dark circles and puffy under-eyes can dampen the mood and make your eyes look tired, dull, and small. Remove your makeup well, use under-eye creams or serums to target puffiness & pigmentation, and keep yourself hydrated. The brighter your under-eyes look, the better. Use an eye cream or primer under the eyes before using makeup.
-
Bring your concealer into the picture
Dark circles can make your eyes look smaller than they are, so put your concealer to work to make your eyes look bigger with makeup. Choose a concealer shade that is slightly lighter and warmer than your skin tone to get the best results. If you want the best results in concealing the blue/purple undertones of your dark circles, use a peach or orange colour corrector and follow with a concealer.
-
Curl to get fluttery lashes
Long, fluttery lashes are a true game-changer when trying to make your eyes look bigger. Start by curling your lashes. This step will help fan out your lashes, make them look fuller, and give your eyes a more awakened look. This also helps give your eyes a more rounded appearance that will make achieving big doe-eyes easier.
-
Throw in lengthening mascara to the mix
Once you’ve curled your lashes, follow it up with a lengthening mascara to make your eyes look bigger with makeup. Apply an additional swipe of mascara in the centre of your lashes to make your eyes look bigger & awake.
-
Define the crease
Dark eyeshadows are not the best choice when trying to make your eyes look bigger. Use a matte brown eyeshadow from the Simply Nam Dawn to Dusk Eyeshadow Palette and deposit the colour in the crease. This will help define the crease and add more dimension to the eyes. Blend it upward and outward to give the eyes a more lifted look. Finish off your eyeshadow with a light, shimmery shade of your choice from the palette.
-
Highlight the eyes
Brighter eyes equal bigger eyes. A simple way to make your eyes look bigger with makeup is by highlighting the inner corners with a shimmery eyeshadow, or pick a shade from the Simply Nam Cosmic Glow Highlighter Duo. Use your pinky finger and deposit the product on the inner corners of your eyes and your brow bone. Dab a little bit of highlighter on the centre of your eyelids as well. This will make your eyes pop and open them up.
-
Nude eyeliner & tight lining for the win
A white eyeliner is the go-to option when you’re trying to make your eyes look bigger with makeup, but it can look jarring sometimes. Use a nude eyeliner on your waterline to avoid it from looking jarring. Unlike a white eyeliner, use a universal nude eyeliner to make your eyes look bigger. Another way to define your eyes is by tight-lining them. Use the Simply Nam The Ultimate Kajal: Intense Brown and draw across the upper lash line with the same to highlight the shape of your eyes. The brown colour will also help get a more natural finish.
-
Winged eyeliner is the way to go
A sharp winged eyeliner pulled upward and outward can help make your eyes look bigger. Use the Simply Nam The Ultimate Kajal: Ink Black to create a sharp winged liner. As much as you think that covering the whole eye area is always the best way to do it, don’t! Start from the middle of the eyelid and pull it outward, creating a thin, sharp winged eyeliner. Clean up the edges, and there you have it: eyes that are wide open and big!
-
Falsies to up your lash game
While you may think falsies can weigh your eyes down, making them smaller, they won’t (at least not if they’re placed right!). Use the Simply Nam Flawless Pro Cluster Lashes and place them on the middle and outer ends of your lashes. This will help open them up by adding more length and volume to the outer corners of the eyes, making them look wider. Trim the lashes and stick them well to ensure they offer a natural look.
When we say everything is possible with makeup, we mean it. With the right use of products and techniques, you can ace the big doe eyes look even on days when you’re heavily sleep deprived.
P.S. - We hope you took notes & filled up your cart with all things Simply Nam to make your eyes look bigger!
