This viral eye makeup hack will make your eyes look bigger for the New Year celebrations
Have you heard the phrase ‘Eyes can talk’? Well, it's true! Our eyes are the most expressive part of our face, bigger eyes always catch attention because they make our face look brighter. But, unfortunately, not all of us are blessed with big statement eyes, so that’s when makeup comes in.
If you wish to create an illusion of having big eyes, make us your artistic friend and try this simple guide to make your eyes look bigger with the right products, techniques, and charm. So, are you ready?
Step 1: Define the shape of your eyebrows
To create the illusion of bigger eyes, start by shaping your eyebrows correctly. This creates more space between the eyes, adding structure to your face. You can fill the scanty patches in your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, which will further add a certain dimension to your face.
Step 2: Conceal the dark circles
If you have raccoon eyes, use a concealer to cover the dark circles and apply a light layer of foundation to even out your complexion. Next, use an illuminating concealer to brighten your eyes, and then add some setting powder to avoid creasing. This will help you achieve bigger eyes with a doe-like shape.
Step 3: Work with a neutral palette
When choosing eyeshadow for a bigger eye effect, prioritise neutral shades and add a layer of smoky shadow, which will make your eyes expressive. However, play with shades of brown and ombre, but avoid black or dark blue, as neutral dark shades better capture an awake appearance.
Step 4: Create your own crease
While making your eyes look bigger with dark brown eyeshadow, create side creases to make your eyes look bolder and larger. You can next add a light shimmer on your eyelids and blend it well. Top it off with heavy mascara, and use an eyelash curler to make your eyes look bigger and more beautiful.
Step 5: Highlight the inner corner
Do not leave the inner corner empty, and decorate it with a dash of shimmer to make your eyes pop. Use a light shade for a bigger eye look and master the three-fourths rule, where one should not fill the upper eyelash line but start from the three-fourths point to create a wider and brighter eye illusion.
Step 6: A sleek eyeliner
Opt for a thin line of eyeliner and start from the inner corner of your eyes, where you can make it a little thick, and give a slim winged look on the outer corner. Complete the look by highlighting the eyebrow bone with a subtle shimmer highlighter, and you’re good to go now.Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Happy New Year wishes, messages and quotes !
