When trying to make eyes look bigger it is better to use a lighter eye shadow on the eyelids rather than a dark eye shadow color. Brush a soft creamy color along the eyelid and up and out to a diminishing effect. By using lighter colors once again it makes the eyes look bigger and more open. It is okay to add a little darker color down lower on the eyelid if wanted. The eye will still look bigger than if a dark color of eye shadow was used all over the eye. Keep the darker color below the crease.

White-eye liner. Use white eyeliner on the bottom of the eye. Spread it from the outside corner then in towards the inside corner in a diminishing effect. With a darker shade of eyeliner on the top of the eye the white in the bottom makes a big difference on the look of the eye. Don't put the eyeliner all around the eye, it closes in the eye and makes it look smaller. Keep a space between the liners. Try some white eyeliner in the top on the eyelid very close to the eyelash line after a darker shade has been put on. It might be just what the eye needs to look bigger.

Put mascara on the bottom lashes. If this isn't already being done try it. The eye opens up a lot when there is mascara on the eyelashes and that includes the bottom lashes. Keep the mascara smooth and not blotchy. Keep mascara on the bottom to a minimum. Black mascara is not the only mascara color out there. There are nice browns and navy blues that work very well with opening up the eyes and makeing eyes look bigger. The black can sometimes make the eyes look heavy and small.

Fake eyelashes. Getting individual fake eyelashes can add to the defining features of the eyes. Individual fake eyelashes increase the volume of the eyes and make them look bigger. Be careful where to put them and it may prove beneficial to have a professional do it the first time and show you what to do. There are also the half coverage fake eyelashes. These are cut to about half the length of the eye and then put on the outer edge of the eye. This too will open the eyes and make them look bigger.

Even though the eyebrows are not a part of the eye, they are a part of the eye area and having well groomed eyebrows will make your eyes look bigger. To start with get rid of stray brow hair.
