Three budget-friendly ways to make your eyes look larger

Have you ever wished your eyes were bigger or looked brighter and more open? Lack of sleep can make the whites of your eyes seem small, as can hereditary discoloration in the tear duct. Whether you’ve worked overtime or suffered through a sleepless night, there no need to fret. Achieving a doll-eyed look on a budget is a snap.

This tutorial will teach you how to make your eyes look larger, brighter and wider without breaking the bank. Inexpensive nude eyeliner, highlighting powder and false lashes are available at drugstores. When combined, they hide redness, bring light to the eye, and make the lashes look longer. Used together, your eyes will command attention even when you’re feeling a little run down.

Materials
- Nude eyeliner
- Gold or ivory highlighting powder
- Small eye shadow brush
- Setting spray
- False eyelashes
- Lash glue (not shown)
- Metal mixing palette (optional)
- Tweezers

Instructions
1. Apply nude pencil eyeliner on the lower waterline. The product covers redness and creates the illusion of openness.

2. Use highlighting powder to banish darkness and bring light to the inner corners of your eyes. Dip a small eye shadow brush into the highlighting powder, then spray the brush head with setting spray. Dab the brush against the inner corner of your eye to apply the pigment.

3. Place a small drop of lash glue on the back of your hand or on a metal mixing palette.

4. Pick up the false lashes with the tweezers, then dip the lash band into the glue. Let the glue set for 10 seconds, then apply the lashes.
