Hello peachies, welcome
back to dear peachie.
00:00:09
Eyes are the windows to our souls, so it’s
no wonder we always pay the most attention
00:00:14
to them when it comes to makeup. But let’s be
honest, some days we’re just too lazy to go
00:00:19
through a full routine, yet we still want our
eyes to look fresh, bright, and defined.
00:00:26
If you find yourself thinking the same way,
you’re not alone. Today’s video is all about how
00:00:32
to achieve that wide-eye, awake look using fewer
products and much less effort. Or maybe you’re
00:00:39
simply tired of heavy, dramatic eye makeup and
want something lighter and more airy. Either way,
00:00:45
this video is for you!

00:00:49
Let’s start with some super simple tips that can
instantly make your eyes look bigger and more
00:00:54
defined, without even needing eyeshadow.
To make your eyes look wider, colored lenses
00:00:59
are always a handy option. But if you
want to keep things looking natural,
00:01:04
there are a few features you should pay
attention to before picking a pair.
00:01:09
First is the color, it’s best to choose lenses
that are close to your natural eye color,
00:01:16
nothing too light or striking, so they blend
seamlessly. Next is the graphic diameter. While
00:01:24
most lenses range from 14 to 14.5 mm, aim
for something between 14 and 14.2 mm.
00:01:32
Anything too large, like 14.5 mm, can actually
make your eyes look crowded by taking up too
00:01:39
much of the white space, which ends up
making your eyes appear smaller.
00:01:44
Lastly, consider the graphic pattern. Try to
avoid lenses with a dark outer rim or ring design,
00:01:51
since these typically need heavier
makeup to balance out the look.
00:01:55
Go for styles without a defined ring so they
blend more naturally into your iris. It’s also
00:02:01
best to steer clear of high-contrast patterns,
light ombre effects, or radiating designs,
00:02:08
as these can look less natural and might
clash with a softer makeup look.
00:02:13
When it comes to eyeliner, skip the heavy, solid
extended wing. Those can actually make your eyes
00:02:19
look smaller and often seem out of place,
especially if the rest of your makeup is
00:02:24
light. Instead, go for a subtle liner.
Using a gel liner or even an eyeshadow is a
00:02:32
great choice here, since liquid liners can
come off a bit harsh for this look.
00:02:37
Now, here’s a smart little trick
to naturally elongate your eyes
00:02:41
without looking like you’re trying too hard.
00:02:43
Normally, a lot of us start by drawing a line
straight out from the outer corner of the eye,
00:02:49
forming a triangle, filling it in, and then
extending the wing as long as we want.
00:02:55
But this often ends up looking unnatural,
like the liner is just floating there rather
00:02:59
than being part of your eye shape.
A better way is to use a gel liner with
00:03:04
a fine tip. Gently lift your lid so you
can see right into your lash roots.
00:03:10
Then, start drawing from the outer edge of your
iris, extending a thin line straight out.
00:03:16
You’ll notice there’s a little gap between
your lashes and this line. At the end,
00:03:20
extend it just a bit more.
This technique gives your eyes a longer,
00:03:25
more lifted shape that looks like
it’s naturally part of your eye.
00:03:30
The width of your eyelids or crease can make a
big difference in how defined your eyes look.
00:03:35
If you want a bit more dimension or
that extra lift, eyelid stickers are a
00:03:39
great way to open up more space on your
lids, giving you a fresh, airy look.
00:03:44
That said, there are so many types of eyelid
stickers out there, and it’s important to
00:03:49
find the right style for your eye shape.
It might take a little trial and error, both
00:03:55
in choosing the shape and figuring out exactly
where to place them to get the effect you want.
00:04:00
Here are some examples of different eyelid
sticker shapes that work best for various eye
00:04:05
shapes. Take a look and see which one
matches what you’re looking for.
00:04:11
Next, falsies. Choosing the right pair can
truly make or break your eye look. Lashes
00:04:18
that are too lush or dramatic might seem
appealing, but they often end up making
00:04:22
your eyes look heavy and actually smaller,
which is the opposite of what we want.
00:04:27
It is best to avoid styles that are too bold if
you are aiming for a natural, effortless look.
00:04:33
When you are browsing for falsies online, try
searching for keywords like the sunflower series,
00:04:39
Korean separated style, or little flame shapes.
These types of lashes are lighter, more spaced
00:04:46
out, and create a soft, fluttery effect that
enhances your eyes without overpowering them.
00:04:52
In this case, less really is more.
Compared to thick, voluminous lashes,
00:04:58
these natural styles can enlarge and open
up your eyes far more effectively.
00:05:03
We have all heard about face contouring
or nose contouring, but did you know
00:05:07
that your eyes can be contoured too?
Contouring helps define the bone structure
00:05:12
around your eyes, and simply adding color without
the right contouring or highlighting techniques
00:05:18
will not necessarily enhance your eyes.
To do this properly, you will need a contour
00:05:23
palette with the right contour
shade, a matte highlighter,
00:05:27
and a sickle-shaped nose contour brush.
Start by contouring the nose root, since this
00:05:33
area affects the overall eye structure. Apply
the contour in a C shape along the nose root,
00:05:39
beginning from the middle of
your brows and connecting it
00:05:41
to the lower rim of your brows.
This creates the appearance of deeper-set
00:05:46
eyes. If your lids tend to look puffy, also
apply some contour to the outer lid area,
00:05:52
which is the space between the outer corner
of your eyes and the end of your brows.
00:05:58
Next, take a smaller eye detail brush and
dip it into the matte highlighter.
00:06:03
Apply the highlighter to the inner corners of
your eyes and the middle of your lid area.
00:06:08
This creates a soft contrast of shadows and
highlights, making your eyes look more defined
00:06:13
and structured.

00:06:18
Now that you have all these simple tips and tricks
to naturally make your eyes look bigger and more
00:06:23
defined without much effort, let’s move on
to something a little more detailed.
00:06:28
In this part, we are showing you a complete
tutorial to guide you how to put everything
00:06:32
together with a bit of eyeshadow.
So you can see step by step how to create
00:06:35
this soft, wide-eye look.
For the eyeshadow, you will only
00:06:37
need three shades, one lighter color for
the base and a darker one to add depth,
00:06:42
and a deep brown for eyeliner. A blending
brush is essential for this step.
00:06:49
Start by applying the lighter shade all over
your upper lid, from the inner corner toward
00:06:53
the outer part of your eye. Gently dab the shadow
onto the bottom of your lid, then blend it out
00:06:59
with horizontal strokes, bringing the color
slightly above your natural crease.
00:07:04
Make sure to add some of this shade to your
lower lid as well for a balanced look. Next,
00:07:10
take a smaller blending brush and
dip into the darker shade.
00:07:14
Dab it onto your lid and blend it carefully within
your crease, building up the intensity slowly
00:07:19
wherever you want more shadow.
Once the eyeshadow is done,
00:07:24
move on to eyeliner.
Use a gel liner to tightline
00:07:28
your waterline by gently lifting your lashes and
tracing the liner along the lash roots.
00:07:35
Then switch to a flat edge brush,
pick up a deeper eyeshadow shade,
00:07:39
and create a subtle outer liner.
Lightly pull your lid so you can see the
00:07:43
natural groove at the outer corner of your eye.
Follow this groove, filling in the outer liner
00:07:49
and connecting it just enough so it lines
up with the outer rim of your iris.
00:07:54
This will give your eyes a soft, elongated
definition without looking harsh.
00:07:59
Next, using whatever eyeshadow is left on your
brush, lightly line your lower lash area.
00:08:07
Start from the outer lower lash, keeping the line
slightly away from the lash roots, and blend it in
00:08:12
toward the middle of your iris.
To help widen your eyes vertically,
00:08:17
you also do not want to skip contouring the
aegyo-sal, or the little under-eye fat.
00:08:23
Switch to a small eye detail brush
and dip it into the same darker brown
00:08:27
shade you used earlier. Smile gently so your
under-eye fat becomes more prominent.
00:08:34
Keeping your brush angled
diagonally against your skin,
00:08:38
begin your first stroke at the
middle of your natural groove,
00:08:41
then extend the contour toward the back
and slightly toward the front.
00:08:46
Finally, take the lightest nude shade
from your palette and highlight the
00:08:50
inner corner of your eye as well as along
the first half of your aegyo-sal.
00:08:55
This contrast of light and shadow will make
your eyes look rounder and more youthful.
00:09:01
Last but not least, let’s finish with the
falsies. You can go for either strip lashes
00:09:07
or individual bundles, but make sure they
look natural and suit your eye shape.
00:09:12
Always curl your lashes first before applying
them. Start by placing the falsies from the
00:09:18
middle of your eye, positioning them
just beneath your natural lashes.
00:09:23
For the last bundle, place it slightly
above your actual lashes to help lift
00:09:27
and open up the outer corner.
Finally, do not forget to apply mascara
00:09:32
to your lower lashes to elongate
them and complete the look.
00:09:36
With just a few steps and the right techniques,
you can achieve eyes that look naturally bigger,
00:09:42
brighter, and more defined without
appearing overly done.
