BIGGER BRIGHTER EYES | With 5 Products

I wasn’t born with the biggest eyes in the world (although, my mother will tell you otherwise) but I’ve learned over the years a few tips and tricks to make my eyes really pop. Here’s five of my favourite products that never let me down getting that bright as a daisy doll eyed effect.

First thing’s first – you have to pick a shadow that contrasts with the colour of your eyes and makes them pop. I usually reach for L’Oreal’s Amber Rush (no stranger to GLG read about it and ) because the rosy gold tone makes the green in my eyes do something special. The key here is to pick something not too dark, and that has some luminosity. 

Then I line my lower waterline with my all time favourite nude pencil, Mac Chromagraphic Pencil in nc15/nw20. This stays on longer than any I’ve tried and really brightens up the eyes. (Check out to compare it to Rimmels Nude and for a drugstore dupe)

Now the tricky part for some – a swoop of winged liner. I’m thinking about making a post (or possibly a video?) on how I do mine, but in theory you want some liner on those lashes that gets a little thicker on the edges, this really helps extend the eyes. I prefer the Urban Decay Cream Liner in Perversion you can read my review on it ) because its nice and black, matte and stays all day until I take it off. 

Finally, possibly the most important step – lashings of mascara. For the top you know I love L’Oreal’s Butterfly Mascara in the waterproof version, its well mentioned here on GLG. For lower I only reach for Mac Extended Play Mascara – it’s skinny mini wand makes getting all those fine little lashes a piece of cake and it stays on all day without smearing or smudging. For me, it beats Cliniques Bottom Lash any day of the week!
