The windows to a person’s soul are the eyes and this is why I always make sure that I have beautiful and alluring eyes whenever I go out of the house. Since I do want my eyes to be emphasized whenever I put makeup on, I first invested in a very good eye cream so that the skin around my eyes do not look puffy and saggy and to make sure that there will be no dark circles. It is very important to always have the eyebrows manicured because this leaves bigger area for the eyes; having well-trimmed brows also defines the facial features better and it can pop up the eyes since well-defined brows can bring attention to the eyes. The trick in using eye shadow is to apply a light-colored shadow to the inner corner of the eye to make it pop out and to avoid dark colors because they can make the eyes look smaller. Eyeglasses can make the eyes look smaller and since I am near-sighted I chose to use contact lenses instead to correct my eyesight and at the same time to give me more expressive and vibrant-looking eyes. The eyeliner could also make miracles because by applying thicker liner in the mid-lid can make the eyes look bigger and by extending the upper lid to a few centimeters can also make your eyes look wider.   If you do not have the all the time to do the makeup techniques, simple strokes of mascara can definitely make your eyes appear bigger because longer and thicker lashes can help you do so.
