I want to brighten up my eyes without wearing TOO much make-up...help?

Anybody know?


I usually wear eyeliner, shadow, and mascara, but I feel like I'm caking everything on, and black eyeliner makes my eyes look tiny even though they are big.

Get an angle brush (it's flat) and put a dark colored eyeshadow along your lashes instead of eyeliner. And just do that towards the far edges of your eye (not the inside). This will make your eye look larger.





Also, use a light/bright colored shadow under your eye, on the the inside of you eyelid next to your nose, and under your brow.





To make your eyes look bigger (maybe do this at night if you think you're putting too much on), put a darker colored shadow on the outside corner of your eyes, with a lighter shade in the middle.





And just use mascara on the upper lashes (try a dark brown instead of black!)

Try using a liner brush dipped in a metallic gold shadow instead of dark eyeliner. You can get special iquids that you can dip the brsh in before swiping it in the shadow, that makes it last as long as regular liner. Also smudge some irredescent white powder juust at the inner corner of your eyed to make them look larger.
ok - get ready for this cos these secrets took me years to discover :)





1. darken your eyebrows - subtly!! i have blonde hair and do this using a dark brown eyeshadow and i run it (using a stiff brush) along the bottom hairs of my brows. i then blend up lightly. ps - i convinced my mum to start doing this recently and as soon as she did she received compliments!!





2. dont run black eyeliner along your inner rim - unless you want a heavy look. the BEST way to make your eyes look nice and big is to buy a WHITE eyeliner. use this along the inner rim. it makes them photograph really well too.





3. before applying your mascara you can do a light dabbing/streak of brown eyeshadow or black eyeliner along your bottom lash line. keep it light though. then apply your mascara.





i dont do this every day though. i do use the white and the dark eyebrow trick EVERY DAY :) and seriously, ever since i started people tell me how awesome i look, which is a very nice feeling.





the other thing i do to look fresh is a really pale pink blush on my cheeks and a pale red stain with clear gloss on my lips.





people have no idea im wearing make-up, it's all really quick to apply, it looks good in photographs and i get compliments. WINNER!!
try puttin eyeliner just on the outer rim of the eye not all the way across.. and mascara of course and if you have to wear shadow do a natural shiny tone.. and try to make the eyeliner as thin as possible.. usually liquid is better unless you want a smoky effect no makeup underneath the eye.. this is not good.. skip mascara on lower of eye too..
Just use mascara, that should brighten up your eyes by itself by lengthening your eyelashes.
you could try a lighter colored eyeliner like white or brown, a tiny bit of mascara, and some lite weight concealer. when you're done u mite even see that eyeshadow isnt even needed
You can still apply eyeliner without making them look closed and small. Apply it ONLY to the outer half of your eyes. So...from the middle of your eyelid out to the crease. It'll make your eyes ';pop'; more towards the nose and make them appear bigger.





Mascara can also still be applied as usual. If you use a light shade of eyeshadow or anything shear or anything with a VERY SMALL amount of sparkle (not glitter) and sweep a thin coat from lash line to brow line, it'll make your eyes look brighter also.





Some girls use a silvery eye liner in the crack of their eyes near they're nose to make it look brighter, too. I don't personally, but that is also another option. You can either do it with or without the other eyeliner on as well.





Hope this helps!
