You can find all the products at your local drugstore, and you don't need to be a professional makeup artist to achieve this look.

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.
