Hi, I'm Daniela Rowson. I'm a makeup artist. And I'm going to show you how to make your oval eyes look big and beautiful. The products we will need are, an angled brush, and a black gel eyeliner. So, what I've already done is, I've applied the eyeshadow. And what I did first is make more of a very defined crease on the outer part. And that's going to help your eyes look nice and big. And we've use more warmer tone, and that also makes your eyes pop more. And make sure it's really blended. And since it's on the outer part, it'll give you that really pretty almond shape and make it look bigger. So, now we're going to apply the gel eyeliner. So, we're just going to get a tiny bit of this gel eyeliner, and a little bit goes a long way. You don't need too much. And I like to warm it up on my hand. Because then it feels creamier and it goes on smoother on the eye. So, we're just going to apply it right on the hand and then from there get the angle brush and get whatever product that you need. It's just a tiny bit. So, to make your eyes appear bigger, we're going to do a cat eye. So, we're just going to follow the angle that comes from the bottom of the eye, and we're just going to mark our line, and then from there we're going to connect it to the center. And then we' re going to fill in that little triangle. And you can get more product if you need. And you can make this as thin as you want or you can make it go out more or less. And this will definitely give you the appearance of really big eyes. And then we're going to connect it to the inner part of the eye. And we're just going to do little dashes so that it looks straight, so it looks more crisp. And gel eyeliner stays on really well too. And the black will make it look more dramatic. And we're going to follow it all the way in. So, to make your eyes look big and beautiful, just make sure that you contour the eye really well and you do a winged out eyeliner. My name is Daniela Rowson and thanks for watching.
