Wide Set Eyes

Start at outer corner of eye with medium tone shadow . Set shape by angling slightly upward. Apply shadow color on entire eyelid as far as crease, blending outward. Blend medium-light toned shadow to brow bone ,and blend to center of lid. Do not extend shadow outward.

Blend darker color in corner of eye on lid , working softly along side of bridge of nose into fullest area of brow. Blend darker color from inner corner to center of eyelid, blending into medium shade that started from outer corner.

Hooded Eyes

Do you have hooded eyes, also known as "bedroom eyes"? How can you make it stand out?

-Draw an imaginary line from the lower lash line (outer corner) up to your brow. Keep your eyeshadow above this imaginary line. Putting shadow below this line can make your eyes appear more droopy. If it will make it easier use sticky tape and just peel it off when your done.

-Apply a light eye shadow on your lid.


-Apply a light color under your brow, on the brow bone. You can use the same color as you put on your lid. Although I do prefer to use concealer under the brow or an Anastasia highlighting pencil than eyeshadow under brows. Using the shimmery colors under the brow can look dated.

-Apply a medium shade in your crease. if you can't see a crease then draw a fake one where you think it should be. Do this looking straight into the mirror. you want to be able to see this medium color blending up towards your highlight color (under the brow). You want this color to go all the way across the crease. from the outer corner to the inner corner.

-Take a deeper shade and use it only in the outer corner of the eye. Again looking straight in the mirror, so that when you open your eyes you can actually see the color. If applying eye liner use a thin line on top and use eyeshadow underneath your eyes.

*Optional: Use an eyelash curler to make the eyes pop even more and use a combination of mascaras. Concentrate more mascara in the center of the eye to open up the eyes. Right now, I am in love with Clinique High Length Mascara!

Deep Set eyes

Keep it light and shimmery:

1. Use a highlight shade to the eyelid and the crease. This will lighten that area and help bring the eye forward.

2. Use a midtone shade just above the crease and up towards the brow bone. This darker color will help push the prominent brow bone back.

3. Use a contour shade, usually the darkest color, on the outer corner of the upper lash line. Sweep it to the outer corner of the browbone, which helps further to push this area back to help reveal your eyes.

4. If you want extra definition to those deep set eyes, use the contour shade underneath the lower lash line.

5. As you use mascara, use more of it in the outer corners of your eye. If you go heavy on the mascara or the false eyelashes in the central part of your eye, you will cover up what you tried to highlight and bring out. By keeping the mascara to the outer portion of your eye, you help open up and bring out your eyes.Apply an iridescent eyeshadow on your upper eyelid starting from the inner corner towards the outer corner of the eye.

Tips:
*If you just can’t stay away from dark colors, then make sure you keep them on your lid and if you really want to, you can smudge a little bit into the outer corner of your eye. Just make sure to not go into your crease with your deep color. Doing so will only make your crease look bigger and stand out more.

*Apply a thin line of eyeliner from the middle part of the lids to the outer corner of the eye. Extend and thicken the line towards the outer corner and smudge it a little or soften with a similarly toned eyeshadow. Keep the line as close to the base of the lash line as possible. Eyeliner is great, because it helps you to widen and emphasize your deep set eyes. Tip: avoid to apply eyeliner on the inner edge of the lower eyelashes, because your eyes will appear smaller than they really are.
