Want to know what the perfect makeup for your eye shape is? You're in luck, because we've done the research and come up with these fantastic tips, tricks, and ideas...just for you!

What IS Your Eye Shape?

Before you can find the perfect makeup for your eye shape, you need to know what that shape is, right?  If you aren't already sure, use these descriptions to figure out which is closest to your own natural eye shape.

●     Deep Set Eyes: Large, and set deeper into the skull, creating the illusion of a more prominent brow bone.

●     Mono lid: Flat on the surface with little, if any, crease at all. The brown bone is much less defined.

●     Hooded Eyelids: Feature an extra layer of skin that droops over the crease, causing the eyelid to appear smaller.

●     Protruding Eyes: Create the appearance of projected lids in the eye socket area.

●     Upturned Eyes: Classic almond shape, with a natural lift at the eye corner.

●     Down turned Eyes: Sight drooping on the outer corners. (also sometimes called Almond Eyes)

●     Close Set Eyes: Less than one eyeball width apart from one another.

●     Wide Set Eyes: More than one eyeball width apart from one another.

Now that you've figured out which eye shape you actually have, let's figure out the best thing for you to do with it!

Deep Set Eyes

Try to brighten up the natural shadowing produced by your eye shape by using a beige or warm metallic peach coloring on your lids. Highlight under your arches  using an illuminating crayon, and use waterproof mascara to avoid smudging.
