To make your eyes appear bigger, I would just use liner on top. Some people like to use white or a flesh tone eyeliner on the waterline to help them appear larger as well.

Personally, I think having a thin winged liner on the top and bottom liner smudged out with a shiny highlighter on the inner of your eyes will make your eyes look bigger. Also, mascara makes a huge difference. Curl your lashes, prep and prime mascara, and then your favourite lengthening mascara - top and bottom. fake lashes are also fabulous at making your eyes bigger. and if you really had to, asian circle contact lenses

On top.

I would recommend the top and bottom. But not on the waterline, instead a thin line on the lower lash going 75% of the way in (not all the way into the inner corner). Also using a white/flesh toned eyeliner in the waterline is supposed to help but on me NC43 it looks too unnatural so I haven't gotten the hang of it yet.

Eyeliner on the top and bottom really brings out the shape of the eye and can look stunning paired with some mascara .

Don't. Those make you look like you're on X.

I second the flesh-toned liner on the inner rim trick.

White usually fades after you've blinked a few times. If it's still too bright, a more "flesh-colored" liner may help instead!

Top + bottom half way with a dark brown or black, Start thin and make the line thicker towards the end. Don't line ur waterline with anything dark, that just closes in ur eye. If you want u can apply a shimmery pale shade to ur innercorners, blended into ur darker liner to open ur eyes up even more.

I do eyeliner on the bottom to the halfway point during the day so I look awake. When I go out at night I'll do top and bottom all the way across and smudge it.

This is exactly my routine. If I put liner on just the top or the waterline, my eyes look really almond...u...lar. Almond shaped. Whatever.

It really depends on your eyeshape.

If you have small eyes, your best bet would be to line only the top with black, then use a flesh-coloured or white eyeliner on the bottom.

However, if your eyes are already big, you can use black on your bottom to make them more defined and stand out.
