Having a pair of big and beautiful sparkling eyes is certainly the dream of many women. Maybe you too? Unfortunately, nature doesn't always support it, and some people's eyes tend to be less than ideal. If you want to make your eyes look bigger, here are some ways to make it happen, and not all of them involve cosmetics!
Step
Method 1 of 3: With Cosmetics
Step 1. Don't put eyeliner around your eyes
If you do, your eyes will look smaller because they look like they are fenced in or ringed in circles. Therefore, also avoid "smokey eyes" makeup. Of course such applications are not always bad. However, if the effect you want is bigger eyes, makeup won't help.
- When applying eyeliner to the lower lashes, do so just below the lash line, not bumping into it. And, above all, stroke it beyond only half of the eyeball, not into the inner corner of the eye.
- For application on the tear line, choose a white eyeliner or another light color. This technique makes the eyes look bigger, but be careful, lines that are too thick can give a weird impression.
Step 2. Extend the eyeliner application beyond the outer corners of the eyes
The end of the line should be tapered upwards to make your lashes look very long. This technique, while making the eyes look bigger, is quite difficult. If the eyeliner is not applied symmetrically, your eyes can look slanted. Therefore, start trying it with the help of a mirror or a friend.
Step 3. Apply eye shadow or white eyeliner on the inner corners of the eyes
This technique gives the effect of more shimmering eyes and therefore they look bigger. Choose a soft white color; White that is too intense actually gives the impression of excessive eye makeup. You can also apply white eyeliner on the lower tear line, which widens the white part of the eye.

Method 2 of 3: Eyebrow and Eyelash Solution
Step 1. Trim eyebrows
Just as a picture frame can affect the impression a photo makes, your eyebrows can affect how your eyes look. Simply by plucking untidy eyebrow hairs will make your eyes more attractive. But, make no mistake. Not that with thinner eyebrows, your eyes will look bigger. Look for more information on proper eyebrow shaping.
Step 2. Make the eyelashes look longer
There are several ways to do this:
- Roll the upper lashes with an eyelash curler.
- Apply mascara.
- Apply false eyelashes.
Step 3. Shape the eyes
Apply white eyeliner on the tear line, or black eyeliner from the outer corner of the eye to the center of the eyeball, not necessarily along the line.
- Roll eyelashes.
- Dab light colored eye shadow, such as beige, yellow, white, and others.
- Dab a thin line of eyeliner over the eyelid, pulling it until the end of the line tapers out.
Method 3 of 3: Overcoming Eye Problems
Step 1. Reduce eye puffiness
Swelling of the skin on the eyelids and the skin around the eyes can make them look smaller. Try the following steps to reduce swelling:
- Get lots of sleep.
- Wash your face with cold water.
- Place the cooled used tea bag on the eyelid. The tannin content in tea acts as an astringent, which tightens the skin.
- Reduce salt consumption. Too much salt can increase the absorption of water so that the eyes are easily swollen.
- Exercise regularly to improve blood circulation, which in turn reduces water absorption.
Step 2. Remove dark circles around the eyes
Without dark circles, it doesn't mean your eyes look bigger. However, dark circles clearly interfere with the appearance of the eyes, including the largest and most beautiful.
Keep well. This means that you need adequate sleep, a balanced and healthy diet, and a minimum of salt consumption in your daily menu
Step 3. Try sticking a cold spoon
Before you go to bed, store two spoons in the refrigerator overnight. When you wake up, clean your eyes from the remnants of sleep, then place a spoonful on each eyelid for about 1 minute. This method helps the eyes look bigger and brighter throughout the day. (While reducing the appearance of circles under the eyes.)
Tips
- Round contact lenses can make your irises appear larger by reducing the eye-to-iris ratio. You can order it from various eyewear shops.
- There are lots of makeup tutorials on the internet, showing visual examples of how to make your eyes look bigger.
- There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that putting a little olive oil on the eyelashes can help them grow. While it definitely gives a shimmering effect, which makes the eyes look bigger, olive oil doesn't promote the growth of eyelash follicles.
Warning
- Don't open your eyes wide just to make them look bigger. You will look surprised all the time.
- If you choose to open your eyes wide, make sure your nostrils don't expand as well.
