These tricks will make your eyes look bigger

Beauty trends come and go, but big eyes have always been the ideal. While some women are blessed with large viewers, for others it is challenging when it comes to making our eyes pop. Fortunately, a few tricks can help you create big eyes right away.

1. Make your eyelids nude
Apply a matte nude shadow all over the lid as this evens out your color and forms a good foundation.

2. Apply an eyeliner Lightly line the upper and lower lids from the inner corner to the outer corner with a soft brown or taupe eyeliner. Apply the eyeliner a little heavier on the outer corners to make your eyes appear longer instead of round.

3. Line under your eyes
If you're not using dark eyeliner on your lower lash line, take a neutral or white pencil and follow it instead – this will brighten your eyes. But if you prefer a dark underline, do a few extra lines to the edge of your outer eye for a wider-looking look.

4. Add depth
Apply another shade one or two shades darker than the nude used in step 1, and use your finger to blend the color to your eyebrow.

5. Highlight
Use a highlighter or white powder to dab the inner corners of your eyes. Use the highlighter under your eyebrows to draw more attention to your eyes.

6. Cover your lashes
The bigger and thicker your lashes, the more attention your eyes will get. Curl your lashes and then apply a few coats of black mascara.
