How can I make my eyes look bigger with makeup?

Use a white or nude eyeliner on your waterline and apply mascara to both upper and lower lashes to open up your eyes.

What eyeshadow colors work best to highlight blue eyes?

Warm tones like copper, bronze, and peach complement blue eyes beautifully and make them pop.

How do I apply eyeliner to enhance my eye shape?

Follow your natural lash line with a thin line of eyeliner, and slightly wing it out for a more lifted look.

Can I make my eyelashes look fuller without falsies?

Yes! Use a lengthening mascara and apply multiple coats while wiggling the brush at the roots to add volume.

What’s a quick way to brighten tired eyes?

Apply a shimmery light eyeshadow or highlighter to the inner corners and under your brow bone to instantly brighten your eyes.

How do I prevent eyeshadow from creasing?

Use an eyeshadow primer or a concealer base to keep your eyeshadow smooth and crease-free all day.

Should I focus more on eyeliner or mascara to make my eyes stand out?

Mascara tends to have a bigger impact by defining lashes and opening up your eyes, but a well-done eyeliner complements it perfectly.

Can I use eyeliner on my lower lash line without closing off my eyes?

Yes, use a pencil or eyeshadow in a soft color on the lower lash line and avoid heavy lines to keep your eyes open and bright.

What’s a simple makeup trick for hooded eyes?

Apply a matte eyeshadow slightly above your crease and keep eyeliner thin to create the illusion of bigger lids.

How do I choose the right mascara for my eye look?

If you want volume, go for a thickening mascara; for length, a lengthening formula; and waterproof if you need long-lasting wear.

I'm always on the hunt for ways to draw attention to my eyes and make them look larger. I've tried it all, curling my lashes a bunch of times, experimented with different ways to line my eyes, even circle lenses. There's one look that I always admired, but never tried. Mainly because the colors available just weren't that flattering on me. Now that colorful mascara is available in so many eye enhancing and attractive colors, there's no reason for us not to take advantage! Take a peek at the gorgeous looks below.

The secret is all in choosing the right shade to make those peepers pop! A matte violet eyeshadow can bring out hints of amber in brown eyes, while a shimmering lilac can make blue and green eyes truly mesmerizing. Apply it generously across the lid, sweep it under your lower lash line for a cohesive look, and remember to blend, blend, blend for that sultry, seamless finish. Pair it with a nude lip to keep the focus on your irises, and you're set for a day (or night) where your eyes are the undeniable centerpiece.

Love these. Makeup is supposed to be fun. You shouldn't give an f if someone thinks it's too bold. I used to wear colored lashes all the time with my hair dyed black. It really made my eyes pop. Once I went to brighter colors it didnt do as much as an impact and having to throw them out every 3 months was tiring. So I stopped but I do love it.
