Unfortunately not everyone is born with big beautiful eyes. Luckily, this look can be created with a few beauty tricks.

Here’s how to do it:

  • Line your lower lids with a white or shimmery liner. This will open your eyes up and make them stand out. Avoid using black because dark colors usually have an opposite effect.
  • Curl your lashes, no matter how short they are – this step is key to making your eyes look bigger.
  • Keep your eyebrows nice and neat. This will ensure that everyone’s focus is on your eyes instead of your not-so-groomed brows.
  • Get arty and line the top lash from the midpoint of your eye to the outer edge. With a flick you will draw attention to the outer parts of your eyes and make the rest appear bigger.
  • Highlight  your inner corners. This is a timeless way to give you bigger and brighter eyes.

Kim Kardashian received a very elaborate Valentine’s Day gift yesterday – a room filled with one thousand red roses.

Kanye West seemingly went all out for the romantic day with Kim who captioned the picture on her Instagram account: “A thousand roses.”

The couple certainly love the finer things in life and are reportedly getting custom made crowns for their Parisian wedding in May. Yes, real crowns.

Kim also attended Kanye’s Yeezus tour on Valentine’s night, uploading another photo to her Instagram account captioned: “My date with Yeezus tonight.”

Call us old romantics but isn’t there something slightly more special about one single red rose that one thousand?

Last week, American designer Michael Kors officially became a billionaire. Yes, we said billionaire.

Customers of the brand may not be so surprised at this news however as his bags, purses and other accessories are a relatively accessible price in comparison to other designer brands. This accessible price does not come at the expense of quality either.

Michael Kors show at this year’s New York Fashion Week only furthered the designer’s popularity and brought in a multitude of famous faces such as Michael Douglas, Freida Pinto, Blake Lively and Rose Byrne.

The collection was described as “a blend of urban polish and laid-back Californian ease”.

The show featured lots of chunky knits and layers as well as sheer flowy blouses and billowing skirts.

Everybody’s favourite detective show, Sherlock, might have had a different leading man.

During a new event hosted by BAFTA, which allows actors to speak at length about their careers, Benedict Cumberbatch opened up about his role as Sherlock Holmes.

Speaking about his thoughts before reading the script, the actor said: “I heard about it and thought that sounds like an idea to reinfranchise something to make money. It could be a bit cheap and cheesy.”

However, upon reading the script and hearing who was involved, he swiftly changed his mind: “Then I found out who was involved and I realised it wouldn’t be cheap and cheesy … I thought I would read it and then I fell in love with it.”

We are so, so glad you didn’t pass up the opportunity, Benedict; can you imagine anyone else as Sherlock? We can’t!

You might not want to ignore this tweet by Barack Obama because he is the President of America, whic means he has the FBI on speed-dial. That’s all we’re sayin’!

The President took to his Twitter account to post a warning about spoilers for the upcoming House of Cards season, which he is obviously a fan of. The political drama stars Kevin Spacey as US representative, Frank Underwood.

It may come as no surprise that Obama follows the popular political drama given that it recognises so closely with his profession as president and politician.

Obviously concerned about potential spoilers for the show, Obama made use of his Twitter account, writing: “Tomorrow: @HouseOfCards. No spoilers, please.”

You may want to bring your favorite designer bag with you wherever you go, but when it comes to handbags, one type does NOT suit all occasions. Below are the basic bags that every girl should own:

The everyday bag
A big ‘carry as much as you can’ kind of bag. Look for a black or neutral bag that you can match with nearly everything in your wardrobe.

The overnight bag
This should be big enough for you to bring a change of clothes, as well as your toiletries with you.

The cute tote
A cute summer bag that can accompany you during a lunch time stroll or a meeting with friends.

The clutch
A clutch bag is perfect for a night out. It’s also a good way for you to pack up all your little must-haves in the most sensible way.

The statement bag
Let your personality shine with a statement bag. If you’re vibrant and full of energy, let it show through your bag.

Ellie Goulding received what we believe to be the best Valentine’s card so far.

The How Long Will I Love You singer posted the card on her Instagram account and captioned it: “Ha pea Valentines Day”

The Burn hitmaker has been rumoured to be dating McFly’s Dougie Poynter after she  was spotted sitting beside the singer at a Brooklyn Nets basketball game in London. The 27-year-old and the singer looked like they were having a great time when the kisscam was on them but they never actually kissed. She took to Twitter to say:  “Apparently big faux pas to not kiss on kisscam @NBA sorry!! Ha next time!”

The singer, who is well known for keeping her love life on the DL, was even rumoured to have been dating Ed Sheeran and our very own Niall Horan.

Hmm, wonder who signed this Valentine card?

If you get a bit carried away with the alcohol tonight, chances are, you’ll wake up to a horrible ‘hangover face’ tomorrow. But dull skin and tired eyes aren’t something you have to live with. Here are a few tips and tricks you can use to fix the dreaded hangover look.

Precautions before snoozing off
This will make your job much easier in the morning. Remember to take your make-up off before hitting the sheets. If you can, drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration at night.

Begin with the eyes
Apply cucumber slices to your eyes or press the curved side of two cold spoons down your lids to reduce puffiness.

Keep it natural
Use natural colors around your eyes to make them bigger and brighter. Dark colors will only put emphasis on irritated and red eyes.

Tint and blush
Sweep a bit of bronzer and blush onto your face. This will make you look alive and full of color.

Smile
A smile is the best make-up a girl can wear!
