Makeup Tips For Brighter Eyes   by Sarah Alberts

Anyone who is looking for information on how to make your eyes look bigger, should take note of these valuable tips.

Curl Eyelashes
If you don’t have naturally long, perfect eyelashes, curling them before applying mascara will really open up your eyes. You can actually curl lashes AFTER mascara is applied, as long as your mascara is dried (a good tip to know if you want to curl your lashes later in the day without removing your mascara). I usually blast the eyelash curler for 3 seconds with a hair dryer for extra staying power. Just test the metal to ensure it’s not too hot before you clamp down on your upper lash.

What to Do With the Bottom Lashes?
Many makeup experts avoid mascara on the lower lashes because they believe it actually closes up the eyes. This is true for some women, but for others, mascara and eyeliner on the lower lashes can make a dramatic difference. Try it out for yourself and see if you like it.

To apply mascara on lower lashes, hold the brush vertically, then sweep it back and forth.

Don’t Be Afraid of False Eyelashes
Individual false lashes are exotic, gorgeous and can look natural if applied correctly. Large cities offer “lash bars” in the hottest department stores. (Henri Bendel, Bergdorfs and more, for example) but I expect the counters at most department stores will have experts in false lashes. Ask at yours.

Don’t want to go to department store? Drugstores carry false eyelashes. If they’re too long, you can trim them with scissors.

Why White Shadow is the Makeup Artist’s Secret
When I go out for the evening, I always put a bit of light eyeshadow right at the inside ridge of my eye, where the upper lid meets the bottom lid, near the tear duct. It’s amazing how that bit of white brightens my eyes and is the greatest method of make your eyes look bigger. This is a old beauty secret of makeup artists and if you look closely at photos of celebrities on red carpets you can see that tell-tale white in the inside corner of their eyes.

For a doe-eyed, seductive look, makeup artist Paul Starr suggests in Harper’s Bazaar that you try lining your lower lids with a creamy white eye pencil.
Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Eclat: Another Makeup Artist Secret
A few years ago when everyone was going ga-ga for Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Eclat calling it the “best concealer ever,” I bought it thinking I’d use it to conceal any spots on my face.

I hated it. It hardly concealed anything and I couldn’t see what the big deal was. I went back to the store to return it when the women at the counter told me it’s actually supposed to be used as a highlighter, not a concealer. She did me up and I was blown away by how awake I looked. These are all the tips I tell people who are seeking information on make your eyes look bigger, and it’s now a beauty staple in my arsenal and I use it every time I go out.
