Timeless beauty favors expressive, doe-like eyes. While some are naturally blessed with larger eyes, anyone can achieve that wide-eyed look with proven makeup techniques from professional artists.
1. Create a Nude Eyelid Base
Sweep a matte nude shadow across the entire lid. This evens skin tone and builds a smooth foundation for the rest of your look.
2. Apply Subtle Eyeliner
Lightly line upper and lower lids from inner to outer corner with soft brown or taupe liner. Thicken slightly at the outer corners for an elongated, almond shape over a round one.
3. Brighten Under the Eyes
Skip dark liner on the lower waterline? Use a neutral or white pencil instead to open and brighten. For drama, extend dark liner outward at the outer edge for a wider appearance.
4. Add Depth
Apply a shade one or two tones darker than your nude base, blending with your finger up toward the brow for dimension.
5. Highlight Strategically
Dab highlighter or white powder in the inner corners and under the brows to catch light and amplify eye focus.
6. Amp Up Your Lashes
Curl lashes first, then layer on black mascara for thickness and length that draws all attention to your eyes.
