8 x larger eyes with makeup

There is an ‘issue’ with eyes in the editorial office. They need to be grand and captivating, because only then do you make an impression. May-Britt sometimes pays a visit to the lash queen to get some falsies put on, which by the way don't look fake at all, and Liesbeth herself is already equipped with a pair of Bambi eyes but adds extra with mascara. Layer by layer, because building up is the golden tip. According to friends, my eyes have flown straight out of a Japanese manga comic, which I find quite a special comparison, but I also do my best for the expressive look. How do you achieve it yourself? Take a few minutes to read through it and take a few more in front of the mirror tomorrow. From now on, you too will go through life with gigantic peepers.

An age-old trick is white eye-liner. Hallelujah that it is now also a trend because it can also turn out wrong and somewhat sickening. But well, it's a trend so we won't talk about that. Light colors bring accents forward. So if you use a white line in your eye, your eyes will appear brighter and look larger.

A faux lashes work wonders. Glamorous, grand, and captivating. By creating a sort of frame around your eyes, those eyes will naturally stand out.


If you have a eye-liner use it ending in an upward line. Downward makes your eyes look tired and sad, but upward looks positive and exuberant.

If you have a line on your eyes, you don't have to draw it all the way through. No. Start at two-thirds of your eyelid. If you do it all the way, your eyes will actually look smaller.

A real makeup artist trick is to add some extra shine in the corners of your eyes. A silver shimmer or a gold shine is fine. Just a little, because you don't want to go through life looking like an angel. The shine catches the light, making your eyes look larger than they actually are.

If you use multiple colors, I mention cobalt blue and burgundy, then you create depth. Keep the rest of your makeup a bit more restrained, otherwise, it won't help you at all.

Light colors accentuate. Also in eyeshadows. Dark eyeshadow makes your eyes look smaller, but light ones will open and brighten them. The nude look is not so crazy after all.

Well-shaped eyebrows do a great job for large eyes. They are the framework for your face and lift everything up. This gives the eyes even more chance to shine. Stray hairs here and there will only draw more attention, so keep things a bit tidy.
