How to Make the Eyes Look bigger

You can wear fake eyelashes or eye liner on top (especially thick). If you want you can create the winged eyeliner look by drawing points on the end of the eye. Make sure when you are doing the eye liner you take the bottom liner only halfway. Next, apply a light color on lid space and then a color a few shades darker than your skin on the crease. A darker color on the outer portion of the eyelid and the outer part of the crease is always helpful.

How to Make the Lips Look Bigger

If you want to make your lips bigger than always have—lipgloss.  A light pinkish or nude color is best. It can be applied to your lips with a lip brush. The first step is to apply the brush on the lip line. Then the second step is to tap. Next take a darker color of lipgloss or lipstick and rub it on your lips.

Your other option is to use a lip liner and line the outside of your lips. Then take a soft brush and smudge in the edges softly. Next you apply the nude or pinkish lip gloss on your top and bottom lip. Finally, add the lipgloss or lipstick color you desire for your lips.

How to Make the Eyes Look Smaller

Like the trick to make your eyes bigger there is definitely a similarity for making your eyes smaller and that is to apply lots of mascara or fake eyelashes.  The only difference is that it is preferable for you  to apply the eyeliner under the eye (avoid the thickness). You can surely use the winged liner on top of your eye but only halfway.

How to Make the Nose Look Smaller

First, apply concealer in the middle of your nose from the bottom all the way to the top. Don’t smear too much of it on the middle of your nose, you want to make sure it is just on the main bone of your nose. Then apply either your make-up powder or foundation. Then, right in the middle, use your concealer brush or powder brush to rub in a color that is a bit lighter color than your powder or foundation. You can use another concealer, powder, or eyeshadow that is lighter than your skin color as your last option. Finally, put a little bit of bronzer on both sides of your nose.
