9 Ways to Enlarge Your Eyes

Getting big, dynamic eyes is one of the top things on many girls' beauty wish list. Some girls are born with big eyes, but if you're not one of those girls, then you can still get the look through a little trickery. Try out these eye-enlarging tips and you'll definitely notice a difference.

Whiten Up

Adding white eyeliner to your eyes brings light to your eyes and makes them look larger. Use a soft white, not a harsh white liner, to line your lower lash line. This treatment will extend the white part of your eye.

Eliminate Dark Circles

In order to achieve big beautiful eyes, you must eliminate dark circles. You can eliminate dark circles by getting plenty of sleep, eating a balanced diet and minimizing salt intake. The addition of a good concealer will also minimize dark circles.

Apply Eyeliner Sparingly

Applying eyeliner to the entire eye will make your eyes appear smaller and closed in. Apply the eyeliner to the lower lashes, just below the lash line, but not inside the rim of your eye. Do not line your eyes all the way to the corners of your eye.

Use A Highlighter

Using a white highlighter on the brow bone will open up the eyes tremendously. Applying the white shadow to the inner corners of the eye will also open up and enlarge the eyes. This will also make you appear like you have had a good nights sleep.

Lash Out

By extending your eyelashes you will make your eyes look bigger. Curling your lashes will open up your eyes and give you a wide eyed look. You can achieve this with your own lashes or by applying false lashes.

Get It In Line

Applying an eyeliner to your top lid only will keep your eyes open while still looking defined. A tight line on the upper eye line and winged outwards and up at the edges will uplift your eyes and give them a larger appearance. A liquid liner will be more precise and less prone to smudging.

Reduce Puffiness

Swelling and puffiness around the eyes will make eyes look smaller. You can reduce puffiness by getting enough sleep, placing cold tea bags over your eyes and reducing salt intake. Additionally, wash your face with cold water and increase circulation through exercise.

Maintain Your Brows

Your eyebrows frame your eyes. Keeping your brows neatly groomed and free of stray hairs will frame your eyes beautifully. Be careful not to thin too much, as a thinner brow does not translate into bigger eyes.

Use A Dark Shadow

To make eyes appear bigger you should apply a darker color shadow above where your eye crease naturally falls. When you open your eyes it will give your eyes a lifted look and make them appear bigger. Do not extend the color in towards your eye because it will make your eyes look closed in.
