![]() ![]() To do this subtly, apply eyeliner or a dark shadow on the lash line, following the natural shape of your eye. What the pros suggest: An easy way to accentuate and open up this shape is to create a lifted effect. Your eye shape: The inner corners of your eyes are higher than the outer corners of your eyes. Liner notes: For a sultry look, apply a dark-colored eyeliner on the waterline of the inner and outer corners of the eyes, then extend the ends toward the temples for a cat-eye effect, says makeup artist Judi Gabbay. The Kevyn Aucoin Contour Eyeshadow Palettes are perfect for this. If a smoky eye sounds intimidating, know that it doesn’t have to be black, Lujan says. We love Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eyeshadow for this tip because it includes four shimmer shades in each palette.Ī matte smoky eye with darker hues on the outer corner of the eye is another great way to elongate the eyes. “Light reflective eyeshadows make prominent areas stand out even further,” he adds. Focus application on the center of the lashes for a subtle doe-eyed effect.Īnother eye-opening tactic: Apply a light shimmer shadow (think champagne, blush, or copper) on the center of the lid and then sweep it to the inner corners to make your eyes sparkle, Lujan says. ![]() (Avoid lashes that are full from the inner to the outer corner they might look too heavy or give the illusion of smaller eyes.) You can also do this using a volumizing mascara, like Dior Iconic Overcurl Mascara. ![]() What the pros suggest: “False lashes that are longer in the middle and shorter on the corners will help enhance your doll-eyed look,” Kaye says. Your eye shape: A telltale characteristic of round eyes is that the whites of the eyes are visible above and below the iris. To accentuate your shape, draw eyeliner so that it’s thinnest on the inner and outer corners and slightly thicker on the middle two-thirds of the lash line, says Kaye. The outer corner of the eyes are naturally lifted, which makes creating symmetrical wings easy because the angular shape acts as a guideline. Liner notes: “Winged liner and your almond eyes are a match made in heaven,” says Luna. One of his favorite tips to make this shape pop is to apply a light eyeshadow color (think: Urban Decay 24/7 Moondust Eyeshadow in Cosmic) on the inner corners of the eyes.Īlso, “to make almond eyes appear bigger and more open, avoid applying eyeliner or eye shadow all the way around your lids,” he says. What the pros suggest: “Almond eyes can create any eye look easy because the inner and outer corners are on the same horizontal plane,” says Lujan. Your eye shape: The iris (which is the colored part of the eye) will touch the top and bottom of your eyelids when looking straight ahead, says makeup artist Allison Kaye. “The size and shape of the eye socket area also determine the shape of the crease,” he says. How to determine your eye shapeĪ few factors determine eye shape, including size, how much the eyes protrude from the eye socket, and the direction the inner and outer corners point, explains Lujan. Here are makeup tips for different eye shapes that will help make your eye makeup application a success. The key is to adjust any makeup look so that it works for your eye shape, which can help avoid avoid frustration and smudges, explains Nick Lujan, makeup artist and director of artistry and education at Kevyn Aucoin Beauty. It was time to call in the pro makeup artists. I love a good YouTube or TikTok tutorial, but even when I follow the instructions perfectly, my results don’t look like the influencer’s. And creating a symmetrical winged eyeliner look that doesn’t hide in the folds of my lids takes multiple tries. When I concentrate shadow on the center of my lid, it almost always ends up smudged near my brow bone. My lack of lid space (aka the length between my lash line and bottom of my brow) makes applying cut crease eyeshadow (the trend that accentuates the crease of the eye with makeup) seemingly impossible. As someone with hooded eyelids, I know the struggles of mastering eye makeup firsthand. ![]()
