If you want your eyes to look larger, there are several ways you can do it.

• One answer may be white kajal. It’s applied in the waterline of the eyes to make them look larger.

White kajal

• Well-groomed eyebrows with the right thickness. Your eyebrows should be of medium thickness or thin, because thick busy eyebrows make eyes appear smaller.

• Use colours which will pop so that they open up the eyes. The darker the eyeshadow, the smaller the eyes will look.

• Lighter shades of eyeshadow should be used under the brow bone. This technique will make the eyes stand out.

• A thin line on the upper lashes with an eyeliner works best for smaller eyes.

• Smudge your eyeliner just a little, not too much. It will create a diffused effect.
