Make up the eyes bigger

I have written a bit before about how to make up so that the eyes look bigger. But thought of running a more detailed rehearsal!

First, a basic rule - Light enlarges, dark reduces. For example, if you have a black kayak pencil on the inner lash line, the eyes look smaller (but gets a more intense look). And if you put a white eyeliner instead, the eyes look more open.

One may also mark the outer edges on the eye by applying light on the eyelid, and dark at the beginning of the crease. Then you see the eye in more "3D format" than if you only have one tone on the whole eye. And if you have your eyes quite close together, it makes them look like they are sitting further apart!

To reinforce the "basic rule principle" and "mark the outer edges principle", you can first place a white eyeliner pencil on the inner lash line, and then mark that you have done this by placing a dark eyeliner outside (that is, on the lash line itself) i the outer edges both on the upper and lower lash lines.

And now for what most people do not think you can do, cheat one larger eyelids! What you do is make up the light shadow (which you have on the eyelid) on globlinjen, and then highlight a "new globe line" over its true globe line but a darker shadow. (The globe line is between the eye itself and the eyebrow bone, where it goes in a bit)

Also shimmery eye shadows make it "pop out" more where you want. This can not only benefit the eyelid, but also the corner of the eye and under the eyebrow.

Having shimmery eye shadow under the eyebrow also gives the impression that eyebrows sitter higher up, which in turn makes the whole "eye area" look bigger.

Hope my tips are of some help. And for you to really understand, I did a make-up today that contains all these parts I just explained! (Without being exaggerated)

This picture was a bit blurred, but I think it is on this one that you see the result after the "effects" best.

(All eye shadows are from the 180 palette except Annika's favorite shadow)

Light pink eye shadow in the middle of the lower lash line, at the end of the eyelid and up on globlinjen.

Light yellow eye shadow at the bottom of the lower lash line, at the rest of the eyelid and up on globlinjen, Annika's favorite shade.

Light brown eye shadow over globlinjen.

Brown eye shadow at the end of the lower lash line and the beginning of the globe line.

Light yellow eye shadow (a lot) in the corner of the eye, Annika's favorite shade.

Light yellow eye shadow under the eyebrow (a little), Annika's favorite shade.

White eyeliner in the inner lash line, H&M.

Dark purple eyeliner at the end of the lower and upper lash lines, Isadora

And if you want to intensify these effects, just "take in" a little more and use stronger and darker / lighter colors!
