Glamour-Eyes

Everyone wants bigger eyes! They're the main focus of the face and are all beautiful because they are all unique & no pair are the same --  like fingerprints! -- but we can't all be born with Amanda Seyfried eyes. Using clever makeup tricks you can play up your eyes to make them seem bigger and bolder!

Highlight: using a highlight, or light shimmer eyeshadow, in the inner corners of your eyes & upper brow bone you give the illusion that you eyes extend further out and up

Dark Crease: lining the crease of your eyelid with a dark brown or gray accentuates the the lid and creates a more dramatic, deep set eye. Avoid blacks on the crease as it can become too dramatic & give the appearance of a more closed, sultry eye

Winged Eyeliner: winged liner exaggerates the eye & pulls it farther out, making for a more elongated eye

Curled Upper Lashes: lifting your upper lashes off of your eye opens them up & takes away the sleepy feeling you can get with droopy, tired lashes. When you coat them with mascara make sure to begin from the root of the lash and brush upward & not outward

Peach Concealer: using a concealer with orange undertones can counter the blue undertones found in under eye circles & make them disappear, unlike concealers with yellow undertones which can actually bring out the circles

White Eyeliner: wear white eyeliner on the waterlines of your eyes to make your eyes look wider and more doe-eyed

Below the Waterline: apply black eyeliner below the waterline for a more wide eye, be careful not to go too or your eyes can look droopy rather than excited

Use a couple, or all of, these tricks to define & widen your big beautiful eyes!
