The question any lady with smaller eyes has is how to make them look larger, more open.  Well, the answer is finally here:

1.  Raise your eyebrow.  This means if at all possible have your eyebrow shaped to leave more lid space.  You can even achieve this by drawing your eyebrow on up higher to give the illusion of a larger lid.

2.  Be sure to use white or nude liner on your lower water line, which will create an open, wide eyed look.  If you want to add some drama you can take a very soft powder liner just under the lashes to give dimension without closing them off.

3.  Use several different depths of color.  What this means is if you are choosing to use brown, don’t just use one shade.  Use a few, blending them together to add depth and dimension to your eyes.

4.  Wing ’em out!  Blend your crease and even your liner out a little, drawing the eyes out to give them some more width and the illusion of size.

5.  Create a false crease.  Using a dark shade of color, you can use shadow to create a false crease, bringing it higher or lower to give the illusion of height to your eyes.

We hope these simple tips will help you open up your eyes and let the world see the beautiful you.
