Learn techniques to accentuate different eye shapes, such as droopy eyes, sunken eyes, protruding eyes, and one-eyed eyes, by applying, placing, and blending eyeshadow.

1. Determine your eye shape

Recognizing your eye shape helps customize the app. Common forms include:

Strabismus - excess skin covering the crease of the eyelid when the eyelid is open

Exophthalmos – eyes protruding from the face

Deep eye set - the eyes appear to be placed deeper into the face

Monoliids – defined creases disappear when the lid is opened

Look straight into the mirror to analyze the shape of your eyes.

 

2. Masked eyes

Maximize room for drooping eyelids with the following tips:

 Apply a darker shade above the crease and a lighter shade below, and accentuate the brow bone

 Use shimmer on the lid to bounce light and create dimension

 Winged eyeliner makes eyes look more elevated visually

 Avoid darker colors, as occluded eyes can obscure them

Lighter, shimmering shades open up dull eyes.

3. Protruding eyes

To minimize the rounded look of bulging eyes:

 Use matte shadows to avoid accentuating contours

 Apply a darker shade to the crease and outer corners

 Apply highlighter under the brow bone and inner corners

 Only paint the outer third of the lash line

Strategic contouring helps curb bulging eyes.

4. Deep-set eyes

Make deep-set eyes stand out:

 Use light, shimmery shadows on eyelids to make them stand out

 Highlights inner corners and browbones for shine

 For more depth, lightly blend the darker color into the lid crease

 Contours the eyes along the top and bottom waterline

The reflective shade and definition perfectly complement deep-set eyes.

5. Monolactones

Improve monoids by definite steps:

 Apply primer all over the lid to the brow bone

 Starting in the middle of the top, brush the color of the crease very high

 Darken the outer corners to create depth

 Highlights under the brow bone and inner corners

Smudge the eyeshadow beyond the actual crease of the lid.

 

6. Use the right brush

Invest in a quality eye brush for best results.

l Fluffy blending brush to blur edges

 dense brush for applying eyelid color

 Precision pencil brush for inner corners and lash line

 Broad brush for complete surface application on monoids

A good brush can pick up the shadow and place it exactly where it needs to be.

7. Close the lid

To make the shade last all day, use a primer:

 Apply eye primer before eyeshadow for a firm base

 Prevents wrinkling and fading

 Allows you to use less product

 Extends wear time from 4-6 hours to 12+ hours

Primed lids intensify color and avoid transfer.

8. Mix well

Blends seamlessly for a polished finish:

 Be sure to tap off excess shadow before application to avoid bleeding

 Apply several transitional tones, from lightest to darkest

 Take advantage of the wiper action when mixing

 Disperses harsh lines for a soft, smoky look

Blending is essential for a flawless look.
