Have you ever applied your eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow only to feel like your peepers look smaller than they did before you put on your makeup? If you weren’t blessed with gigantic, head-turning eyes, you might wish there was a way to tweak your appearance to make a memorable impression.

While you can’t fight your genes, there are a couple of tactics you can use to make your peepers seem larger than they actually are.

1. Use dark eyeliner.
Dark eyeliner is key when it comes to enhancing the appearance of your eyes, according to Elle magazine. Consider a product such as BABOR Maxi Definition Eye Liner to create this illusion.

2. Don’t be afraid to shimmer.
Shimmery eyeshadow is another product you can use to bring out the best in your peepers. This makeup can complement the shape of your eyes – opt for a rosy pink to create a natural yet appealing look.

3. Add volume to your lashes.
Highlighting your eyelashes can be a great way to boost the appearance of your eyes. Use a black mascara that adds volume and definition to your lashes.
