Makeup is meant to help us highlight our best features. Use it to your advantage with these six easy tricks that will help make those gorgeous eyes of yours look bigger and brighter. No fancy tools or makeup artist skills needed.
1. Highlight your inner corner
This is instantly going to make your eyes appear bigger and more awake. Just take a white, or very light colored shadow or liner and trace the "v" in the inner corner of your eye (pointing to your nose).
2. Curl your lashes
Curling your lashes will open up your eye, and help you look more awake. Everybody knows this, but its an easy thing to want to skip when getting ready in the morning. Start at the base of the lashes and "walk" your curler to the tips by releasing and pressing until you get to the ends. Wa-lah. Beautiful.
3. Line your Waterline in White
Instead of lining your waterline with your usual brown or black, swap it out for white. Then use a darker color inside, or just below the lash line.
4. Wing your liner, and your Mascara
When applying your liner, carry it a little past the lash line. The winged liner (cat-eye) will help draw the eye out further, helping it to look longer. When doing this you should start towards the middle of your eye and work out.
You can also wing your mascara by first applying normally, and then using the wand to add a second coat to the lashes in the outside corner, pulling them outward as you apply.

5. The Marilyn Trick

When it caught light, it helped the eye appear longer- giving her those large, sultry, almond eyes we're all envious of. 6. Get the Blues
