Your eyes can speak a lot about you — what you think, how you feel, and sensitive people will even be able to decipher your personality just by observing your eyes. It’s not surprising how even putting on makeup exaggerates the eyes, and it can take the most time when you’re covering up your face.

A spot-on, large, chunky eyes gives off a spirited personality and leaves your company the impression that you are being attentive to them and what they’re saying. Eye products like Aurealux Eye Gel help keep the vitality of aging eye skin. However, since signs of skin aging will eventually still become apparent around the eyes, a few makeup tricks will still come in handy to bring life to your eyes.

Below are 11 ways by which you can open up your eyes and make it seem livelier and more youthful:

1. Use a highlighter to line your lower eyelids. Take a white or nude eyeliner and line the inner side and outer side of your lower eyelids with it. This helps open up your eyes.

2. Refrain from using hard lines to define your eye line. Hard lines instantly appear to constrict your eyes. Use soft lines to get a nice eye line without making your eye line stiff. After all, hard lines also make you look older.

3. Take your eye lines farther outside the natural outer end of the corners of your eyes. Extend your eye line, still by using soft lines.

4. Curl your eyelashes. Curled eyelashes instantly opens up your eyes, allowing spectators or your company to immediately appreciate your fuller, larger eyes.

5. Prime and wear mascara. Refrain from using too much mascara which will make your eyelids appear heavy, droopy and smaller. After priming your eyelashes from roots to tips, take your mascara. This time, let your mascara brush touch only the tips of your upper and lower lashes. It will pull up your eyelashes and still make it appear thick and fluttery without the feel of being too heavy for your eyelids to carry.

6. Choose your falsies or lash extensions wisely. If you’re into falsies or get regular lash extension treatments, choose only the eyelash that highlights and flatters your eyes without making it appear heavy and loaded. When chosen wisely, falsies and lash extensions will brighten up your eyes and make it appear livelier than it naturally is.

7. Always include an eye skincare product in your makeup routine. Eyes appear larger when these appear healthier. Plump up skin around your eyes with an Aurealux Eye Gel or a similar product before applying your eye makeup.

8. Line your under eyes with concealer. Bring your eyes forward even more after a good plumping from an eye serum or cream by covering it with concealer. Lighten the skin around your eyes to eliminate the dark shadows that are making it appear smaller and constricted.

9. Brighten your upper eyelids using a white eye shadow or highlighter powder or cream. This trick further lightens the skin around your eyes.

10. Draw a shadow above your natural eye fold. One of the best makeup tricks to make your eyes look bigger than it really is, is to draw a soft line above your natural eye fold. To do this, keep your eyes open and line the upper part of your natural fold using a nude color that’s at least two tones darker than your natural skin tone.

11. Highlight the lower side of the outer end of your eyebrows. Use a nude color to do that. The light is drawn over that end which creates the illusion of your eyes being larger than it really is. The highlight opens up your eye area even more, making your eye area appear full of life.

If you have your way with make up, anything is possible. Still, if you have a way of improving your skin, particularly skin around your eyes, and keeping it protected, you should with the help of skincare products and services, but also making healthier lifestyle choices.
