Let Your Lover See Deep in Your Broad and Sexy Eyes.
Eyeliner is the magic wand for creating the illusion of bigger, more
expressive eyes. Line the entire top lash line and extend the line
slightly at the corners. You can also line the bottom of your eyes, but
concentrate color only on the outer third and extend it slightly past
the edge. (We're not talking Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra here.) A
soft, smoky look will open your eyes more than a thin, hard line. Stick
to dark, neutral colors with a hint of black for lining, as bright
shades will only make them seem smaller.
Lashes can also be a great eye-opener. Curl them three times before
applying mascara -- at the base, halfway up and at the tip -- to create
a gentle, rounded curl. Fan out your lashes while applying mascara.
Brush the inner third in toward your nose, the middle third straight out
and the outer third toward your temples.
Contrary to popular belief, dark, dramatic eyeshadow will not make your
eyes stand out. In fact, it'll do just the opposite. If you have small
eyes, keep it simple by using only light-colored shadows, and never wear
more than two shades at once. Brush a subtle base color from lash to
brow, and then use a slightly darker shade to create subtle definition
in the crease.
