Understanding your eye shape is key to mastering the right eye makeup look to accentuate your features. If you want to up your eye makeup game, now get ready to embrace your natural eye shapes and learn the best eye makeup tips to make your eyes stand out.
Round eyes
Apply a shimmery eye shadow on the centre of the lid and then blend it to the inner corners for a subtle doe-eyed effect. Another eye-opening tactic is to apply a wedged, smoky liner that complements a round eye as it elongates the eye shape without taking away the natural shape. You can also accentuate your eyes even more by applying a volumizing mascara on the centre of the lashes.
Hooded eyes
If you have hooded eyes, apply a matte, gray or brown eyeshadow to the eye socket area to make the lids look more lifted. Use a smudge-proof eyeliner and draw a heavy layer of eyeliner along the upper lash for extra definition that will light up your eye. Remember, before applying any eye makeup, smooth on an eye primer as hooded eyes tend to smudge.
Almond eyes
Winged liner and almond eyes are a match made in heaven. The trick is to draw an eyeliner that is thinnest on the inner and outer corners, and slightly thicker on the middle two-thirds of the lash line. To make almond eyes appear bigger and more open, avoid applying eyeliner or eye shadow all the way around your lids.
Upturned eyes
If your outer corners are higher than your inner corners, you have upturned eyes. To accentuate that natural cat eye, don’t be afraid to play along and blending eye makeup up following the upward angle of your eye shape. You can also do so with a lengthening mascara concentrating on the outer corner.
