Makeup Mistakes That Are Making Your Eyes Look Smaller ...

Fact: Concealer is the holy grail of makeup. It's basically a magic eraser; not only does it get rid of all traces of the night before from your face, it also brightens your eyes . Color correcting concealers , which work to enhance different parts of your face, are a total game changer.

True #makeupgoals isn't just achieving a simple but sexy smoky eye when you're trying to beat the clock, but rather one that perfectly compliments the natural shape of your eyes. Adding too much eye shadow actually makes your eyes look smaller , which is the complete opposite of what you're going for!

You're not out of the red zone yet ! Overlining your eyes is just as counterproductive as the above point. Make your look more dramatic and fierce by striking the balance between a wing that is *just* long enough and liner that isn't too overpowering .

Give us a pair of lush falsies and we can conquer the world . Although I'm a fan of the natural look, I love seeing women rocking Hollywood inspired lashes . Rule of thumb: If you're going for a more subdued look, avoid overstacking your lash strips. They will weigh your lids down.

Be extra cautious when you use black eyeliner to fill in your waterline. Even though it makes your eyes look more dramatic, it'll also make you look like you're squinting! Making a simple color change to white or a neutral tone will fix that.

Mascara is the secret sauce of the makeup game. If you have thinner (or shorter) lashes, coating them in mascara will make a *major* difference, trust us. It's super easy to do. Just make sure you start with the bottom first before moving to the right and then left of your top lashes. One swipe of this magical marker and it'll perk up those blinkers .

Do this before you apply your mascara and you'll thank us later. This will give your doe-eyes the perfect angle in every selfie you'll be taking later!
