Born with expressive, doe-like eyes? (Think: Zooey Deschanel, Mila Kunis, Issa Rae.) Did you know you could be making your eyes work double time with a couple of our favorite round-eye makeup tips? Here are our favorite go-tos. 

First, start with eyeliner placement. The key to enhancing what your mama gave you is to elongate. Do this by lining the outer two-thirds of both the top and bottom lash lines, joining them together at the corner. Make sure to extend the liner outward toward the temples a bit to create a faux almond-shaped look that adds dimension to your look. 

Easy, right? Well, it gets even easier. You don't need to have any precise skills to work this trick into your everyday makeup routine either. We like blending out a chubby eyeliner pencil or eye shadow for a more laid-back, less-than-perfect look. Our shaky hands have never been so happy.
