Olllaaa makeup addicts..Knowing your eye shape is very important..it helps you pick the best color for your lids..and helps to translate trends and techniques to fit your face..so below are tricks for specific eye shapes..
DEEP-SET EYES
Lot of people with deep set eyes always complain about their eyes especially because of their prominent brow bone..I personally think deep set eyes can be very cute..
EYESHADOW ON DEEP-SET EYES:
To enhance the eyelid,light and shimmery eyeshadows should be used on the eyelid and brow bone and more intense shades should be used over the crease to the brow bone and also highlight the inner corner of the eyes and brow bone.when lining the eyes ALWAYS line both upper and lower lash lines on deep-set eyes and not just upper..never just upper!!
HOODED EYES
EYESHADOW FOR HOODED EYES
Use a light colored eye shadow or a highlighter, preferably with a little shimmer, near your upper lash line and inner corner of the eye .
Then use a slightly darker shade to cover your lid till the brow bone. Blend it very well to avoid creases.
Now use an even darker shade on the crease (you have to pinpoint the crease with your fingertips) and then blend it well so that it covers the outer half of you lid
Use the same dark eye shadow to line your lower lash line with a little smudge. If you are using eyeliner, line the upper lash line alone .Always blend your eye shadows to the outer corners and end it with an angle. If you blend it downward ,your eyes will look droopy.
Curl your lashes and apply a generous amount of mascara. And you are ready!
You’ll be able to see the transformation yourself!
Also apply more liner on the upper lash line than the lower lash line or waterline or leave the Lower lash line bare and use lash curler and mascara to open up your eyes
PROTRUDING EYES
Protruding eyes gives the appearance of projected eyelid in the eye socket area..
EYESHADOW FOR PROTRUDING EYES
You are lucky when it comes to eye shadow as many other eye types have to stick to soft shades to help make their eyes look bigger. You can experiment with dark and smoky looks. Try eye shadows in tones like dark gray, navy and dark brown. Dark colors help make an area appear smaller than it really is. In general you want to avoid light shades as they will have the reverse effect that is making your eye appear larger
Try applying one of these deep shades to the eyelid right up to the socket on the top lid and use a little along the bottom lash line. If your eyes have a bulging appearance it is generally best to concentrate color towards the center of your eye and tone it down towards either corner of your eye also It is typically best to avoid using hard eye liners as they create very definite lines which aren’t very flattering on bulging or protruding eyes. you are often best off using eye shadow as a means of defining the outside rims of your eyes. Then if desired use a kohl liner and line the inner rims of your eyes in a dark shade to make the eye area draw back a little. Never use white eyeliner on the inner rims as it will make your eyes stand out more. The white eyeliner tip is best suited to women with smaller eyes.
UPTURNED EYES or ALMOND SHAPED EYES
EYESHADOW MAKEUP FOR ALMOND SHAPE EYES..
The best part about almond eyes is that you can play around with the eyeshadow styles to select the one that you like best.Just about every shadow look works with this shape."
•For a simple daytime look, opt for deep bronze and medium-brown eye shadows. You can choose other shadows in complementary tones like purple and pink.
• Add depth to the eyelid by using the lightest shade over the lid. This can be a light bronze or golden-brown eyeshadow. Apply a dark shade at the outer corners, crease, and the bottom lash lines. Blend the eyeshadow in the crease with a fluffy blending brush. Apply a highlighter shade at the inner corners and on the brow bone.
• Smokey eyes are also perfect for this eye shape. Apply black eyeliner all over your lids. Use a smudging brush to smudge it. This may look untidy but worry not, the end result will certainly be far better. Now use a matte black eyeshadow all over the lid. Apply white highlighter in the inner corners and on the brow bone. Take a flat eyeshadow brush, and apply a silver eyeshadow on the middle of the lids. Blend well so that there is a gradient of silver to black. Run a thin layer of black eyeshadow on the lower lash line to create a mirror effect.
•Applying dark eyeshadow in the outer corners along the top and bottom lashes helps in making the eyes look rounder.
• Avoid heavy eyeshadow all over the lids as it closes up the eyes too much.bright shadows should be your new best friend
