1 The eyelash curler, which is your best friend

The eyelash curler is an indispensable element when you need to enlarge your eyes with a few products and some easy tips. In fact, one of the essential components to emphasize the look is to have curved, voluminous, and intense black lashes but, many times, these are short and rather straight. To overcome this problem, you just need to equip yourself with a good tool that can bend them and give that "open" look like a doe's eyes. In order for the eyelash curler to be truly functional, it is essential to know how to best use it.

To curl your lashes correctly you will need to:

1.   Comb them with a clear mascara wand to untangle them and slightly heat the eyelash curler with the help of a hairdryer. In this way, just as you do with hair, you will get a lasting style. Before placing the instrument on the eye, make sure it is not excessively hot by touching it with your fingers;

2.   Place the metal on the lashes and press lightly, moving along the entire length. In this way you will avoid breaking the lashes, giving a softer and more natural curve;

3.   Perform the operation first on one eye and then on the other so that the lashes get the curved crease you want! Do this before applying mascara, thus avoiding "sticking" the lashes to each other.

2 The butter-colored pencil:

        The butter-colored pencil is a great must, which you will need to use if you want to create an eye-catching LOOK. Not to be confused with the white one, this has a yellowish color that is remarkably close to the natural pigmentation of the face.

This feature will create an optical magnification effect that gives greater depth to the eye, giving a sense of continuity between the lighter part of the eyeball (technically called the sclera) and the lower rim. Not only that, applying a light coat of mascara on the lashes will sharpen this effect that will make your eye look much bigger.

To use the eye pencil you will need to:

1.   Apply a generous layer of butter-colored or nude pencil in the lower inner rim of the eye, coloring slightly below the lashes to give an effect of continuity;

2.   Apply  the mascara also on the lower lashes, choose an intense black to open and frame the eyes.

3.   Buy a good quality, long-lasting, and above all waterproof eye pencil. This way you can be sure that your liner lasts throughout the day.

3.  Mascara: exaggerate in the center

Mascara is the essential element for enlarging the eyes with a mascara wand. In fact, lashes open outwards, well combed, curved, and with an intense black pigmentation frame the eye lengthening and enlarging it. This optical effect will make your gaze appear wide and deep and, in particular, your eyes will look significantly larger.

One of the best techniques to achieve this is to apply the product abundantly in the central area of the lash line. Having this foresight you will notice a noticeable change in the overall appearance of your face, but above all, you will intensify the optical effect of a large and round eye.

To use mascara correctly you will need to:

Comb the lashes with a pipe cleaner; give a soft and delicate curve with the help of an eyelash curler;

Apply abundant mascara on all lashes with zig-zag movements so that the product is distributed evenly from the base to the outermost part; go over with the tip of the brush in the central area of the eye so that the lashes separate and acquire greater length and volume at that point.

4. Illuminator

Yes, the highlighter is not only essential for illuminating the face with specific tricks and techniques, but also for enlarging your eyes with ad hoc visual effects. In fact, it is often thought that the highlighter should be applied exclusively to the cheekbones, nose, and lower lip, for example when contouring.             However, the illuminated can also prove to be a very valuable ally in creating eye look, since it is able to create a light point in strategic positions to make the eyes look much larger.

How to use the highlighter to enlarge the eyes:

1.   Apply the eye shadow base on the eyelid and proceed with a shadow suitable for the shape of your eye (if you have small eyes it is advisable to use light and luminous shades);

2.   Then, use a highlighter (with warm shades if you have an olive or dark complexion, with a cool undertone if you have a lighter complexion) creating a light point in the inner corner of the eye,

3.   Using a brush or your fingers, then blend the product, be it cream or powder, inwards to make it homogeneous and accord it with the eyeshadow applied previously,

4.   You can apply a small amount even under the eyebrows and, with the help of a very thin brush, also under the lower 

5.   No to the black pencil in the lower rim of the eye

One of the most common mistakes, when we are trying to enlarge the eyes, is to think that the black pencil in the lower line can help, intensifying the gaze - nothing could be more wrong! 

    As mentioned above, speaking of the butter-colored/nude pencil, the secret to giving greater dimension to the eyes is to create an effect of continuity.

Note:  Marking the lower rim with a dark line would only shorten the eye, making it appear even smaller and closed, it would eliminate the chromatic continuity that naturally exists between the white color of the sclera and that of the area of the lower eye rim.

Applying the black pencil to the upper rim (i-e: that of the eyelid) is instead an excellent idea. In fact, the dark pigmentation will blend with that of the eyelashes (even better if it is used after applying black eyeliner and mascara), eliminating the detachment and making the eye appear much larger and deeper. Not only that, your lashes will look fuller, fuller, and longer with this simple trick.

6 The importance of the eyebrows

If you are wondering how to enlarge small eyes with eye products, for sure you have to keep in mind how much the eyebrows play a fundamental role - they can in fact make the eyes appear wider. 

First of all, it is essential that these are of the right size and that the shape is in harmony with the shape of the face and eyes. Contrary to popular belief, in fact, thin eyebrows do not make the eyes appear wider. Over-defined and artificial eyebrows can also make your eyes appear hard and closed.

To broaden the view, therefore:

1.  Treat your eyebrows by removing unwanted hair that makes them look messy without overdoing it with wax and tweezers: eyebrows that are too thin will make the situation worse

2.   If necessary, use scissors to shorten them and make them less disheveled and therefore messy

3.  Use a pencil or cream product (make sure this is suitable for the natural color of your eyebrows) to define the contours, starting from the outermost point moving towards the center of the face,

4.  Blend the line, use a special comb to shape the eyebrows even better, making the final effect more natural. A must, in this case, is the eyebrow gel, a revolutionary product that will help you shape and fix them.

7.    Focus on the outer corners of the eyes: Eyeliner!

Eyeliner to enlarge the eyes

Another secret to making your eyes look bigger is to emphasize the outer corners with an eyeliner. The famous "tail" extends the gaze outwards, giving a greater dimension to the eye. You can create the classic line at the end of the eye, or indulge your imagination by creating different sizes, based on the effect you want to achieve.

Remember: 

The thinner the "final" part of the eyeliner line, the greater the natural effect. For this reason, it is not recommended to draw a large and showy tail on the outer corner of the eye.

To use the eyeliner correctly you will need to:

1.    Make a line with eyeliner on the upper lid. Doing so c, make sure that in the inner corner the line is extremely thin (almost imperceptible) and that it gradually increases in size and harmoniously until the outer corner is reached;

2.   Make a tail in the terminal part, which is proportional (in size) to the shape of your face and to the line you have previously drawn on the eyelid;

3.   Use an eyeshadow of the same color as the eyeliner to slightly blend the final tail, so that the eye looks larger and elongated towards the outside.

8.    Yes, eye drops can also help

Among the tricks and secrets that you absolutely must know to know how to make up small eyes, there are undoubtedly eye drops. This, in fact, is one of the little-known but very effective tips to use in case of need to give freshness to the look. The eye drops make the sclera (the white area of ​​the eye) appear clearer and brighter.

In this way, therefore, a few drops will be enough to make your eyes look bigger and more rested.
