1. Spruce Up the Eyebrows

When you wish to highlight your eyes, start with the eyebrows. These are the arches that help define the eyes below. If you have sparse eyebrows there are ways to enhance them, darken and thicken them with the right makeup tools.

Begin by trimming your eyebrows. If there are messy hair opt to pluck or brush them. If there are gaps in between, you would need to fill them in. You will need to keep the eye mascara, eyebrow pencil of brown and black shades, and plucker before the eyebrow makeup.

Begin by plucking out hairs that make your eyebrows look messy. Once that is done opt to fill in gaps in the eyebrow. Start by spreading out the hair with mascara; once that is done fill in with the eyebrow pencil. It can be a liner pencil as well. Stick to the natural line and fill in lightly, following the natural curves and lengths.

To make eyebrows thicker, you can apply natural products like castor oil or coconut oil or olive oil. Clean the brow and then apply the chosen oil and massage it for a few minutes. Leave it overnight and clean the next day morning.

You might think that a black or dark shaded eyeliner is what is required to highlight your eyes, but that is not always so.

It will help freshen the look of the eyes and make them appear brighter and wider.

6. Line the Upper Eyelids

This is the defining move to complete your eye makeup and doing it on the upper line right will help define your eyes and make them look bigger.
Use an eye pencil to line the upper eyelid, making the line move outward and upward at the edge. It gives the cat-eye look and also helps to make the eyes look brighter and wider. Use only one or two strokes for each eye. I can be repeated once the color fades away or after you’ve washed your face.

The above steps will help to define the eyes and make them appear wider and bigger. If you wish to add more colors, use an eye shadow of a shade of your choice to fill in the areas between the eyes and the eyebrows.
