Big bright eyes

So many people want to know how they can make their eyes look bigger, so here are a few tricks:

1. Keep colours soft. Harsh blacks only make eyes smaller. A soft gold or brown liner applied half way along lower lash line and softly around upper lashes aids in opening eyes up. then smudge to soften.
2. Peach or cream liner applied along inner lash line gives the illusion of wider brighter eyes.
3. Apply black Mascara to the top lashes and brown mascara to the bottom lashes gives a softer more open look.
4. A pro trick is to apply a dot of high lighter to the centre of the eye lid for larger eyes or at inner corners to widen close set eyes.

How to tidy up eyes


1. After eyes are finished clean under eye with a cotton bud coated in cleanser or oil free eye make up remover.
2. You can also use this to clean up any messy edges of your eye make up. People will think you have the steadiest hand around.
3. Glitter is great fun for parties but you can end up looking more like a Christmas card than Christmas fairy. Using a glitter liner smudged over eye are has more hold. Or apply directly to a cream shadow or glitter mixing cream. Glitter needs something to hold onto.
4. Still all over your face? Then take a little cellotape take off excess stick on hand then dab off face.
