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.
