Ever wonder how to make your eyes look bigger? The open-eyed look is one that many celebrities pull off quite well.
If that stark and bright look strikes your fancy, celebrity makeup artist Darrell Redleaf has a a great set of techniques for you.
He is a celebrity beauty expert and spokesperson for the Japanese brand KohGenDo and his resume of celebrity clients and movie sets that he has worked with is staggering.
Big screen work of his can be seen in productions such as As Good As It Gets, What Women Want, Castaway, and more. Celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, and Scarlett Johannson are among an army of Hollywood beauties who have received Darrell’s beauty blessings.
But Darrell really became a favorite artist of ours when we saw this quote on his website: “Beauty is within and all around us…” The all around us part is where guys like Darrell work their magic. The within part is each individuals’ job that makes Darrell’s work really shine.
Here is a set of tips from Darrell on how to make your eyes look bigger to create that open-eyed look.
The eyebrows are the frame of the eye. When a person has an improperly shaped, over or under tweezed or accentuated brow with the wrong color and shape, it can create all sorts of beauty hazards!
One helpful hint is to get your brows professionally shaped by an expert, and then continue to follow their lead just tweezing any new hairs that grow in.
Also try brushing eyebrow hairs down and applying either an eyebrow pencil or brow shadow on the upper part of where the hairs grow, following the shape of the brow and giving the brow a lift on the outer 2/3 part of the brow, for a wider eyed stylized brow/eye.
If your brows are dark brown try a brown color, not black, if you are blonde try an ash blonde brow color. Then brush the hairs upward with a brow brush or toothbrush and your brows are lifted and look natural.
