Step 3: Use Matte Light Brown Eye Shadow Instead of Black Eyeliner

Dark eye shadow is often thought to make your eyes look smaller, but using it in just the right way can help you achieve the exact opposite effect. To do so, you’ll need to use a stiff brush to simply swipe a sheer layer of neutral-colored matte eye shadow along your lashes. Our preference would be to use a light brown color, which helps hide your concealer and make your eyes look bigger.

A trick that you can try during this step is to brush a sheer layer of eye shadow underneath your bottom lash line, staying close to the outside third of the eye. This will make the effect that much stronger while keeping things looking natural.
