7 Eye-Enhancing Makeup Tricks

Have you ever felt envious after seeing someone with big, beautiful eyes and wished you’d been granted such gorgeous eyes? Or what about people with incredibly long lashes? Sometimes it’s just not fair.

Well those among us with small eyes and stumpy lashes now have reason to rejoice. You can make your eyes look bigger and brighter with these seven easy eye-enhancing makeup tricks.

Get rid of those dark circles

Dark circles around your eyes can make them look smaller. Don’t worry if you’re not getting your recommended 8 hours of sleep a night. You can remove those bags with the right concealer. The trick to finding the right shade is to plump for one that’s lighter and warmer than your skin colour so as to remove those dark tones under your eye.

No such thing as too much mascara

No makeup bag is complete without mascara. There are many options to choose from to make your lashes look thicker and longer. Try lengthening or volumising mascaras to draw attention to your eyes.

Nothing wrong with falsies

If you have the time and patience for them, false eyelashes can add something special to your eyes. It’s worth taking the time to learn how to put on false lashes because once you have mastered it you will never look back. Velour eyelashes are some of the best quality falsies around and perfectly frame your eyes.

Don’t forget your waterline

When applying eyeliner, it’s easy to forget to apply it to your waterline (the line between your eye and your lashes). When this is done, it completes the gap that is otherwise between your eyeliner and your lid and creates a much fuller look.

Get curling

An eyelash curler is a priceless tool in the quest for beautiful eyes. The thirty seconds it will take you to curl your lashes will help to make your eyes look brighter and more open. But whatever you do, do not curl your lashes after you’ve applied mascara. You can end up pulling your lashes out!

Choose the right eyeshadow

If you thought choosing an eyeshadow colour was as simple as picking a colour you like, think again. Finding the right shade of eyeshadow can make your eyes pop, and finding the right shade depends predominantly on your eye colour. Brown eyes look best with bronze or purple colours. Blue eyes work with coppery colours. People with green eyes should stick to soft purples and browns. Hazel eyes pop with yellowish and gold colours.

Get those brows in shape

Don’t go to all that trouble of getting your eye makeup perfect, only to forget to take care of your brows. Well-shaped brows will accentuate your eyes and frame them in a way makeup can’t achieve. Threading is an effective way to get rid of those unwanted hairs and creates beautiful, groomed eyebrows. Plus it’s much better for you than waxing as it doesn’t pull your skin and create wrinkles in the long run.
