The next step is through lining your eyes using a light eye pencil. Outline the upper eye lash line using softer and thinner lines to the inner corners. Make progressively thicker line along the eyelid to the outer corner of the eye. The thicker line at the outer corner must be extended and slightly up to make the eyes appear lifted and open. For a much more natural look, use eyeliners with gray, taupe or light brown shades.


Step 4: Applying Mascara

Use eyelash curlers to curl your lashes before applying two coats of mascara. Make sure you use lengthening mascara to the upper lashes so that the eyes appear to be larger. Dark brown, slate or plum mascara is ideal for women with fair complexion and light hair. For darker complexions, it is best to use black mascara. Apply thicker amounts of mascara on the outermost eyelashes.



By following these simple guidelines you will achieve the larger sexier eyes you have always wanted.
