- Hi, I'm Jeffrey Paul, celebrity makeup artist, and today I'm here to show you awesome eye shadows to make your eyes look bigger. In making your eyes look bigger, you want to change the proportions. You want to make the eyes defined but also make them seem larger. Katie already has large eyes but I'll show you on her what we can do is still make them look larger by highlighting, contouring the eye and choosing colors that look appropriate for her eye color. To illustrate the theory of highlighting and contouring and making her eyes look bigger, I'll use Maybelline Color Explosion. First what you want to do is prep the eyelid with foundation or concealer. When you apply the shadow, this will allow it to stick, stay longer and make the colors more vibrant. With the lightest colors here you can see that there's two light colors. The light color is going to go on the lid. That will make the lid seem larger almost like it's coming forward and it will seem brighter. So right with a flat tipped brush on the ball of the eyelid and spreading to the corners, I'm putting the lightest color and you can see it actually makes it look like it's coming forward. So light colors or shiny colors both do the same thing. They make things look larger. You can see there's a little bit of shine too. The shine actually will help create more shape and definition. Also you want to define the eyebrow. Light colors will bring things forward, dark will make them reset but also wherever you put a dark color, you need a light color to set it off. So right next to the brow to show it off I'm adding a little bit of this light color and blending the color from the arch of the eyebrow to the outside and a little bit in the center. So you can see that this is already starting to change the shape of Kate's lids, light on the lid, light under the brow and you can see that it naturally starts to make a definition in the crease of the fold. The next color I'll be using will go right into the fold and then it will define what I just did with the light colors. You can see in this palette it has three light shades. This is the one I used. This one I'll be using later to show you how to intensify the look but this color is also another choice you could use on the eyelid. This also will make the eyes seem larger and rounder. Now with my next brush, it comes to a long tapered tip. I'm going to dip it into this color. It's like a gray or a taupe color. With the tip of the brush I'm going to dip it into the eye shadow just so the tip has a little bit of color and knock off the extra. When you are doing this at home it's kind of hard to see and do makeup at the same time so if you tilt your head up and whichever eye you're working on, tilt that more towards the ceiling, perfect just like that. Now if you open your eyes and the mirror was right here you could actually see the space that you're working on. So if the mirror was here, you'd be working on it like this and you'd go into the corner of the eye with the tip, dragging it towards the lashes and lightly drawing in where the crease of the fold should be. You can already see it's well defined with Kate but I'm just adding a little bit more. This is how you can define your eyes and make them seem bigger. This is creating more shade and depth and also making the lights lighter and the darks darker. You'll see when Kate opens her eye it is actually going to make her eyes bluer because the taupe accentuates the blue in her eyes. With an angled brush which is one of my favorites and the darkest color, I'm going to use this to line Kate's eye and show you more definition. With the flat side of the brush I'm going to place the shadow in the outside corner, going towards the inner corner, adding more eye shadow and less thickness on the inner, creating more depth and definition on the outer. You can actually turn your angled brush sideways and actually blend the product that way so it's starting dark next to the lashes, fading into the corner and fading up towards the round of the ball of the eye. You can see this is going to create more depth and definition for Kate's eye. With the same brush I'm going to define under the eye. Underneath I'm going to do the same thing. Where the lashes start the heaviest there will be more eyeshadow and where they're lighter, they'll be a little bit less, having more definition to the outer corner. You can see that with this shape this is something that makes eyes bigger because you have something to highlight, something to contour and something to define. Now I'll finish off the other eye. You can see that I've finished off the shadows on Kate's eyes. I'm going to add a little bit of liner along the lashes to create more definition. This also will enhance making the eyes look bigger. Defining the eye next to the lashes makes them look bolder and stronger and fades into the other colors which is creating more dimension and more shape to the eye. With the liner what you want to do is just let it rest among the lashes and slightly drag it to the outside corner, have the concentration of color be as close to the lashes as possible. I had Kate open her eye so that I could do the inner corner right here and drag my color along the lash line right to the outside. You can see that this is creating more shape by defining it and making it darker in the outer corner of the eye. To finish off the look I'm going to use a black mascara. Dark brown is a softer look but I'm going to use black. The black on her lashes make a dramatic difference between the blond hair and the dark of the lashes. Mascara also will lengthen the circumference of the eye making it seem bigger, larger and stretching out how wide the eye can look. With mascara you want to just wiggle it right into the lashes, creating length, shape and making sure they're defined. You can see the difference now in Kate's eyes that the left eye actually looks bigger and larger compared to the right. As you can see I finished Kate's other eye with mascara, using a black mascara. Another tip is you could use black on the top and dark brown on the bottom. That also increases the circumference of the eye making it look larger. I chose taupe eye shadows for Kate because the taupes actually have a gray more of an ashy tone and went to compliment the blue in her eyes and if I chose something that had a lot of gold or copper, that might compete with the gold in her hair or the gold in the center of her eye. Whatever you choose, it's up to you but the defining of the eye with highlighting and contouring is how to make your eyes look bigger. And that's how to use eye shadows to make your eyes look bigger. I'm Jeffrey Paul. Thank you for watching.
