Here are some simple tips on how to make your eyes attractive at home without going to the parlour.

Let the waterline change

We are usually used to wearing dark black kajal on our eyes. But if you want to make small eyes look bigger, use white or ‘nude’ shade kajal instead of black kajal on the lower waterline. It makes the eyes appear brighter and more open. This trick is sure to get rid of eye fatigue instantly.

The magic of highlighters

Apply a little shimmer or silver highlighter to the inner corner of the eye. This little touch will instantly make your eyes look bigger. It works great whether it’s a day event or a night party.

Use of eyelashes and mascara

Want to make your eyes look bigger? Thicken and lengthen the eyelashes. How? Be sure to curl the petals with an eyelash curler before applying mascara. Then use a good quality volumizing mascara. This causes the eyelids to rise upwards, which makes the eyes look more elongated.

Eyeliner be smart

Applying thick liner all over the eyes often makes the eyes look smaller. Instead, draw a ‘winged liner’ from the middle of the eye outwards. It gives the eyes a long and dramatic look. If you just draw a fine line on the upper eyelid without applying liner under the eyes, the eyes will appear larger.

Manipulation in the crease area

Use light brown or ‘taupe’ eyeshadow in the crease area to add depth to the eyes. Blending it well with a blending brush creates a 3-D effect on the eyes. This makes the eyelids look bigger and deeper.

Finally, remember that it is very important to use concealer before makeup to hide dark circles around the eyes. Dark circles make the eyes look small and sunken. Adhering to the right concealer and these simple hacks will make your eyes stand out in the crowd without any filters.
