Last week I looked in the mirror and I could swear that my eyes were smaller. The upper part was just a bit more dominant than my eyelid, that kind of story. And what do you do then? Google. ‘How do I make my eyes look bigger?’ became my search term. First, the eyelash curler popped up, with which you curl your lashes to such a height that your eyes almost pop out. But as a second tip, someone suggested a light eyeshadow, because that makes you look just a bit more awake. So I hurried to Charlotte Tilbury in the Bijenkorf for help. The advisor put me on a bar stool, pulled the Eyes to Mesmerise in the color champagne from the shelf, and immediately gave a demonstration. And lo and behold, when I looked in the mirror, my eyes seemed just a bit bigger and my eyelids just a bit less dominant. My best friend was also there in the Bijenkorf shouting that my eyes really looked much bigger and that she was going to buy it herself now. I mean, you can't get a better live review than that. So if you wake up one morning and think: wow, are my eyes smaller? You know where to go.
