Ever wanted to know how to maintain that wide-eyed look? We take you through the process in three simple steps.
Wide-eyed innocence
The wide-eyed look has always conveyed youthfulness, an angelic romance which is seen as desirable. Even if you haven’t been blessed with wider than wide eyes, we show you how to steal the look in four easy steps.
Banish Dark Circles
Do countless late nights rushing to meet deadlines and consecutive nights of partying sound familiar? Dark circles are a woman’s worst nightmare but more effective eye products have been manufactured at an astoundingly rapid rate, so assistance is now at the end of a tube. Common ingredients in eye creams are vitamin C and caffeine which help firm and smooth fine lines. For a cheaper alternative, try taking a vitamin E capsule and piercing it with a needle, dabbing a little bit of the oil under your eyes. Other traditional home remedies include applying slices of cucumbers and used tea bags for a puff-reducing at home treatment.
Salon Treatments
Fake eyelashes can help out girls who are not blessed with long lashes, but there is no bigger makeup faux pas than having one slide down your face at the end of a night out. These days the Hollywood celebrities are sporting eyelash extensions to give their eyes the ultimate in wide-eyed stares. Not only do the extensions make your eyes look wider and more awake, this is an extremely affordable salon treatment that every girl can indulge in and which lasts up to six weeks!

Fake it with makeup
Concealers have become an essential tool in every woman’s makeup kit. The key for a flawless face free of dark circles is to blend well, using a shade lighter than your foundation. The best kind of under-eye concealer is one which is light reflective, hiding all imperfections and bouncing light off the contours of your face.
One tried and tested tip for incredibly open eyes is applying a line of white eyeliner onto the inside rim of your lower lid. Warm the liner by drawing a few test lines on the back of your hand first and then apply to your lower lid.
For a dramatic evening look, before you apply mascara warm your eyelash curler under your hairdryer and curl your lashes for five seconds each. Then apply two coats of mascara, wait for it to dry and then curl your eyelashes again with a warmed eyelash curler for an all-night-long wide-eyed gaze.

Eyes can be opened wide by applying a small spot of iridescent white eye shadow onto the inside corner of each eye and blending lightly. A small touch will make a big difference.
