"When making eyes appear larger, it's all about placement," says makeup artist Sandy Linter. She uses the three lightest shades (yes, all three) from Lancôme Auda[city] in Paris Palette and sweeps them on to highlight her lid. Then, she uses the moderately deep shades from the palette and sweeps them onto her lid from the outer corner of her eye inward.
"To create a deeper crease, apply a light color shadow to the lid and a deeper color into the crease in order to pull the crease back and pull the lid forward," advises Kaye.
If you have close-set eyes, you want to focus on lengthening each eye. To do this, keep darker shadows confined to the outer perimeter (almost like a cat eye, Kaye explains), and use a light, shimmery color along the inner corner of your lid.
Roncal also says that a light, shimmery shadow applied to your lid will make your eyes pop, as it will reflect the light.
Another trick: Take a soft brown or taupe pencil and define your eye hollow (that bone underneath the brow). "After doing your eyeliner, this greatly enlarges the eye," says Linter.
