Eyes truly are the "windows of the soul", and while they don't have to be a certain size or shape to be beautiful, large eyes have long been a sought after feature for women all over the world. If you've always loved the look of large eyes, there are some makeup tricks you can use to make your eyes appear bigger than they actually are. Does this Spark an idea?
White Eyeliner Pencil
Apply shadow to the eyelids as normal. You can use any colors you like; but keep in mind, the lighter the colors you use, the better this trick works.Line the bottom waterline of your eyes with a white eyeliner pencil. The waterline is the area around the inside of the eye. By lining the bottom waterline with white, it makes the whites of your eyes appear larger and brighter, enlarging and enhancing your eyes.
Brush a light coat of dark brown or black mascara onto your eyelashes. This makes the eyeliner stand out even more and helps finish off your look.
Black Eyeliner Pencil
Apply shadow to the eyelids. Again, you can use any color you want; but the lighter the colors you use, the better this makeup trick works.Line the top of your eyes with a black eyeliner pencil. Start at the inner corner of the eye and line all the way around to the outer corner, following as closely to the lash line as possible. At the very outer corner, draw a small flick of eyeliner upwards on an angle and fill in the gap between the flick line and the line along your eye. It should almost make a triangle shape. This will appear to elongate and open your eyes.

Tips
- When working with eyeliner, it is always best to build the thickness of the liner up slowly, as it is easier to add more but hard to remove liner after it is already there, without ruining the rest of your eye makeup.
