Want big open eyes that make you look younger and give you that cute look? It might just be easier than you think! Below are six top beauty hacks that will ensure that you have the doe eyes you have always wanted in no time at all, and which much less effort than you might imagine.
1. Try brown eyeliner
Many of us love to use black eyeliner because it gives us a more dramatic look, but you know what? If you want to create the illusion of bigger eyes, then brown liner might be a better bet in your beauty box. Why? Because softer shades actually make the eyes look larger while dramatic liner colors can have the effect of closing in on your eyes instead. Not only that, but brown looks more natural, so it can make it seem like your eyes are naturally much bigger than they are.
2. Use false eyelashes
Decent false eyelashes from a company like Pretty Lashes are another excellent way to make your eyes seem bigger because once you have them in place, they create an opening visual effect that gives your eyes more “space.’ The trick is to choose lashes that are long and have some curl to them, as that is what makes your eyes seem more open.
3. Understand the three-fourths rule
The three-fourths rule might sound complicated, but really it just means that you should only aim to line the outer three-fourths of your upper eye and not the final fourth. This means that more attention is naturally drawn to the corner of the eye, and this gives the effect of eyes which are much larger than they actually are. I know you might be skeptical, but do give it a try because it really does work.
4. Give them wings
Okay, so I said above that dark eyeliner has the effect of making your eyes smaller, and it does, but there is an exception. If you use black eyeliner to draw on wings, then it actually has the effect of making your eyes seem much more open, and therefore larger. It can be a difficult liner technique to get right, but there are tons of tutorials online, and you can even buy templates to make it a bit easier for yourself if you are struggling. A good quality liner with a thin tip will make things easier, too.
5. Use white liner
White eyeliner might be unusual, but if you place it along your bottom lash line, it has the effect of making it seem like the whites of your eyes are bigger, and this is one of the best ways to get that classic “doe-eyed” look. So, if you are aiming to go really big in the eye department, it really is a must.
6. Brush your brows up
Taking some time to brush your brows upwards, or even better, get them laminated. Works wonders because it draws the eye upwards and gives the illusion that you have more lid space, which means eyes look bigger.
Big eyes are beautiful and now you can have them too!
