How To Make Your Eyes Look Bigger With Makeup – Tutorial

By “Isha Khanna – Makeup Artist“

If nothing else, then “black smokey eyes” works the best, and who doesn’t want to try a hand on it. Smokey eyes definitely is somewhat tricky though, but I am sure you guys can handle it really well with a little guidance.

OK OK! I know you all must be thinking how this tutorial relates to its heading when I am going on and on about black smokey eye and nothing about solving the problem of those who think their eyes look small after they apply makeup. Well, you will find the solution once you scroll down 😛

Also, I did not want to go old school way and show you a classic look. So, instead, I added up a little oomph with glitter (pearly effect) and made it look modern in a way.

So, let’s get started!

Step-By-Step Tutorial:

1. Apply primer (Painterly by MAC).

Slap on a little primer quickly. This one takes a few seconds to dry out completely and once dry, I can guarantee that it will never let your eye shadow crease.

2. Apply transition color into crease (Texture by MAC).

I am a big fan of this color. This has been my go-to shade since the beginning because it goes pretty well with almost every Indian skin tone hence I use it as my transition color. So, now all you have to do is apply this into the crease area and blend well.  The key to every good looking eye make is to blend well. As they say, just when you think that you have blended enough, blend a little more 😛

3. Apply black eyeshadow on the lid (Coal from Morphe Brushes).

While applying the black shadow, you need to make sure that you don’t go above the socket line. Going above can make the makeup look ghostly. Once you have applied black, run the same brush that you used for “texture” on the visible end strokes of black to blend.

4. Use black on lower lash line (Coal from Morphe Brushes).

Sweep that same black color along the lower lash line. Keep the water line bare for now.

5. Blend black on the lower lash line and apply falsies (Coal from Morphe, Ardell Lashes).

Use “Texture” towards the end of black to blend and get rid of those hard edges. After that, I have applied the lashes, but they are definitely not mandatory if you don’t want them on. You can just go with loads of mascara.

6. Pat some glitter in inner corners (3D Liquid Lustre by Lorac).

Apply any white/off-white color eye shadow to the innermost part of your lower lash line, just along the tear duct and then pat some glitter onto it.

7. Apply white liner on the lower lash line (Anastasia Pro Pencil Base 1).

THE WAIT IS OVER! This is the part that all of you have been eagerly looking out for. Firstly, you need to make sure that your lower lash line is clear of black eyeshadow/mascara. Then, sweep on the Anastasia Pro Pencil along your water line. Doing this will instantly open up your eyes and make them look BIGGER.

8. If you don’t like to apply white liner, then use black (Inglot no 77).

If white liner is not the thing for you, then just go with black. It will look equally good. Now, put on your favourite foundation, blush and lip gloss and YOU ARE DONE!

Here is the final look. But don’t lose interest just now, I still need to show you the difference between black and white liner by keeping both images against each other.

Just one simple trick and you are good to go.

I hope this tutorial was a great help to you. Let me know what you think 🙂 Tag me if you happen to try this out at home.
