3. Add Some Definition to Your Lashes, $7.99; maybelline.com (opens in new tab): Adding a little definition to the outer half of your top lash line is a great way to give your eyes some extra definition. Smudge the liner a little with your fingers for a smokier effect, which will extend the shape of your eye even more.
4. Use a Mascara with Oomph, $7.77; maybelline.com (opens in new tab): We all know mascara helps to make your eyes appear bigger, but choosing a formula and wand type with a specific purpose is also important. Maybelline's Colossal Cat Eyes has a wand with a slight curve, so you can get closer to the roots of your lashes to give them an extra boost.
5. Experiment with Illimuniator--Trust Us!, $12.95; lorealparisusa.com (opens in new tab): Whether you call it an illuminator or highlighter, add this to your makeup bag, stat! By adding a few finger taps of this product in a U shape around the outer corner of your eyes you will attract and reflect light, widening your face and creating bigger, more beautiful eyes!
