How Do You Open Up Your Eyes More?

There are several makeup and skincare techniques you can use to make your eyes appear larger and more open.

Makeup Techniques for Larger-Looking Eyes

Here's a breakdown of makeup techniques to achieve the effect of bigger, brighter eyes:

Brighten the Waterline: Applying a nude or white eyeliner to your lower waterline can instantly make your eyes look wider and more awake.
Highlight the Brow Bone: Using a highlighter or light eyeshadow shade just under your brow bone reflects light and creates the illusion of more space, lifting the brow and opening up the eye area.
Strategic Eyeshadow Application: Blend eyeshadow upwards towards your brow bone to visually lift the eye. Opt for brightening eyeshadow shades. Avoid dark, heavy shadows all over the lid, as they can make eyes look smaller. Experiment with creating a strategic smoky eye, focusing the darkest shade on the outer corner and blending it upwards and outwards.
Conceal Dark Circles: Dark circles can make your eyes look smaller and more tired. Use an under-eye concealer to brighten the area and create a more awake appearance.
Eyelash Enhancement: Consider using false lashes, especially focusing on the outer corners, to add length and volume. This can create a more dramatic and open-eyed look.

Address Dark Circles and Puffiness: Use eye creams and serums formulated to reduce dark circles and puffiness. Ingredients like caffeine, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid can be beneficial.
Start With Skincare: A good skincare routine is the foundation for any makeup look.

By combining these techniques, you can create the illusion of larger, more open eyes.
