    How can I reduce dark circles?
    Community Answer
    Try to get enough sleep. Cucumber helps as it cools your eyes, reduces redness and reduces puffiness. Instead of looking at a screen before bed, read a book, as looking at bright lights before bed increases dark circles.

    In addition to the tips in this article, you can use makeup in other ways to make your eyes appear bigger. You can line the upper water line of your eye in waterproof black and the lower inside water line in a waterproof flesh tone (Ulta has some inexpensive options with the NYX brand concealer stick). Use bold mascara on top lashes only (try Benefit They're Real or Bad Gal Lashes from Sephora). Line the inner corners of your eyes with a champagne frosty highlighter color.

    As a high schooler, I don't get much sleep either. I add a tiny bit of either a shimmery or matte white eyeshadow on the inner corner of my eye and on my brow bone, white liner on the lower waterline, curl my lashes, and add a volumizing/curling mascara. It helps make my eyes look bigger and more awake.

    It depends on the prescription; nearsighted glasses will make your eyes appear smaller the stronger the prescription, while farsighted glasses will make them look bigger.
  • Question
    Is it possible to make my eyes (iris) bigger by eating healthier, and if so, which foods would help me accomplish that?
    Cecilia Flores
    Top Answerer
    Unfortunately, it's not possible to make your eyes bigger by eating healthy. You're stuck with the iris size you're born with. The cornea dilates and contracts depending on the brightness of the light and how much it needs to absorb, but that's the only part that can change size.
  • Question
    Will keeping an eyeliner without wings make my eyes look smaller?
    Cecilia Flores
    Top Answerer
    In some cases, yes. I would recommend doing a very thin line and starting the line where your lashes start and not on the inner corner of your eye. Don't do winged eyeliner if your eyes are shaped downward because it doesn't look right. Winged liner is meant to elongate the eyes.

  • Question
    What if I am Asian and my eyes don't get bigger with these methods and I am a guy who doesn't use makeup? My eyes are high-key small.
    Community Answer
    First, you should love yourself and your eyes. That said, if you do and you simply want a change, a good tool is eyelid lifting strips. They're little clear stickers you place on your eyelids and they create a crease (double eyelid) which can open up the eye and make it appear larger. You can't notice them when they're on.

    I have glasses which make my eyes smaller but I can't change them. I also can't use makeup. What else can I do?

    Exercise your eyes as much as you can. Try easing into eye exercises slowly, as jumping in too far can cause further damage to your eyes. Hold your hands across from each other and move one back about seven inches. Focus on one hand, then switch your focus to the other. If you proceed with this well, try adding an extra three inches every week. Also, look up and down rapidly, starting slow, then working your way up from there.

  • Question
    Do eyelashes make your eyes bigger, and if yes, how?
    Sasha Haley
    Community Answer
    Eyelashes do not actually make your eyes bigger, but they do make your eyes appear bigger. Curling your eyelashes and applying a light and feathery mascara to your upper and lower lashes will make your eyes appear a bit larger.
  • Question
    One of my eyes is smaller than the other one, so how do I make that one eye bigger?
    Lia Hamilton
    Community Answer
    Contour your crease and lighten your lid. Your should curl your lashes and use a lengthening mascara and don't do thick eyeliner. You should also use a darker brown eyeshadow below your lower lashes and smudge it out so it's more subtle and don't put anything on your waterline. Eyeshadow on your lid should be a little lighter than your skin tone and darker than the crease. Curling your lashes really makes your eyes look bigger so definitely do that. Also, we are more aware of what we perceive to be flaws and they may look very obvious to us but others will never have noticed until you point it out! Don't stress about whether or not your eyes look perfect.
