The most significant thing about Manga is their incredibly large eyes. You can achieve the effect with false eyelashes and make-up. The unusual thing about this make-up technique is that the false eyelash hairs are attached to both the upper and lower eyelids. Below, the hair is fixed a few millimeters below the actual eyelid. In addition, eyeshadow in a neutral color, gray or light brown and white makes the eyes larger and thus sculpted. Contact lenses complete the look.
