Working With Eye Shape and Makeup: Whats Your Eye Shape?

Hey Guys!
So we all have different eye shapes, down below I have illustrated how to apply makeup with different eye shapes. I hope this chart will help!!

Wide Set/Close Set Eyes
Makeup for wide set eyes :
1. Make the space between the eyes smaller by applying a dark eyeshadow in the inner corner.
2. Apply a lighter eyeshadow to the outer two-thirds of the eyelid from the lashes to the brow bone.
3. Use an eyeliner to draw a very thin line from inner to outer corners on both upper and lower water lines.
4. Pencil the eyebrows a little closer to the nose, but don't extend the eyebrows out at the ends.


Makeup for close set eyes :
1. Apply a light shade from the inner corner to the middle of eyelid from the lashes to the brow line.
2. Apply a little highlighter in the inner corner of the eye.
3. Extend the medium-toned eyeshadow to the outer corner of the eye from the lashes to the brow bone.
4. Use the most intensive color of eye shadow in the outer corner.
5. Brush a little highlighter onto the brow bone
6. Use eyeliner to line upper and lower water lines keeping color intense in the outer corners of the eyes.
7. Apply mascara on the top and bottom lashes with some extra coats on the outer corners for length.
8. Extend the length of brows out at the ends with a brow pencil




Deep Set Eyes
The eye is deep into the socket, with a small movile lid.
Apply light colours on the mobile lid, with a
deeper colour on and just above the socket line,
blending up and out.




Hooded Eyes
A fold of skin hangs over the socket line.
This happens with age. Use matte colours
 in medium to dark and keep eye make up simple.



Almond Eyes
Considered to have ''perfect'' proportions,
 any eye technique will work.



Down Turned Eyes
The focus for this eye shape, is to shade ''up and out''.
Apply liner close to the upper lash line and blend shadow
 along the socket line in the outer 2/3 of the eyes. Curling
lashes and applying mascara can also help ''lift'' the eyes.




Protruding Eyes
This eye shade has a bulge from the sock to the lash
and can be difficult to work with. The best way to
shade this eye is to use medium to dark matte
colours as illustrated.
