Step 1: Use concealer around the eyes.

Dab it under your eyes, in the creases, and along the inside of your nose on both sides.
If you have dark under-eye circles, use concealer one shade lighter than your natural skin tone.
You can also use special foundation meant for use around the eyes; it serves the dual purpose of covering blemishes and holding your eye makeup in place. -

For a natural look, choose a shade of brown or charcoal, rather than black.
Applying white eyeliner to the inside of your eyelid will also cause your eyes to look bigger.
Carefully draw a line on the inside of your lash line above and below your eyes. , Using a color that matches your skin tone, brush the shadow lightly on your upper lid.
