Five Ways to Make Your Eyes Pop

Posted: October 23rd, 2017

Big, beautiful eyes are always in style, and you can get the look you want with simple eye makeup tricks. Consult with a professional esthetician or try a few ideas at home. Here are five easy ways to make your eyes pop.    1. Eye makeup in contrasting colors can really make your peepers stand out. Apply dark and light hues in contrasting colors to accentuate your best features and hide tiny flaws. To create eye allure, try darker colors on the lower lids and highlighter along the brow area. Add a small dot of glittering silver or gold highlighter to the inner corner of each eye for a dramatic effect.   2. Eyeliner comes in a huge assortment of colors and delivery methods. Depending on the look you want to achieve, you can choose from neutral browns and grays to sleek and glistening black cat-eye liners. The key here is an artful application. Start with the inner corner and draw an even line just above your upper lashes. Then draw a thinner line below the lower lashes. For a dramatic way to make your eyes pop, extend the upper line slightly beyond the outer corners of your lids.   3. For naturally big looking eyes, lightly feather your shadow and eyeliner colors and blend the shadow upward and outward along the lid. Brighten your brow area with another light stroke of highlighter and blend once more.   4. Boldly defined brows are the gateway to bigger and more attractive eyes. The perfect brow shape accentuates your eyes and brings out your best features. If your eyebrows are too thin, fill in sparse spots with eye makeup pencil or consider brow threading. Consult with an esthetician that specializes in brows to get a truly polished look.   5. Long and lush eyelashes are the finishing touch to your eye-popping look. Use lash extending mascara for maximum length and fullness. If your lashes are sparse, false eyelashes are an easy and inexpensive option or visit with an esthetician who can inform you about the latest methods for eyelash augmentation.
