Small Eyes

1. Use a light-colored shadow on the inner half of the eye starting from the lashes to the brow.

2. Apply a medium shadow to the crease concentrating on the outer half of the eye.

3. Apply eyeliner on outer half of the eye closest to the lashes.

4. Apply a highlighter under the arch of the brow. You can also use a white pencil in the inner lower or upper rims, this can help to open up your eyes.

5. Keep your eyebrows groomed and shaped. A light thinner eyebrow for small eyes will help to open the eyes up.

Wide-apart eyes

It tends to give your face an open, youthful appearance. This look can be intensified by applying the strongest eye makeup effects near the outer corner of the eye. Keep shadow uniform and within outer corners. Brush lashes straight up.

To make the eyes appear closer together,

1. Use more intense eye shadow colours near the inner corner of the eyes.

2. Apply a light to medium shade from lash to brow.

3. Line eyes completely - top and bottom - from inner to outer corners.

4. Place a medium or dark shadow near the eyes' inner corners continuing out toward the temples.

5. Apply a medium-toned shadow to lids and creases, concentrating the colour on the inner corners.

6. Extend the liner all the way to the inner corner of the eye closest to the lashes.

7. Use mascara generously, on both upper and lower lashes.

8. Then applying mascara concentrate on the center lashes.

Deep-Set Eyes

This seem to recede, need to be brought forward. The eyelid crease is set back so the area from the base of lashes to brow bone seems hidden. To enhance the deep-set eyes line upper and lower lids (never just upper). Choose light shadows -pale pink, peach or beige- of eye shadow. More intense shading on the brow bone also gives the eyes prominence.

1. Use a light shade from lash to brow.

2. Place a medium contour color just above the crease and blend upward.

3. Dot highlighter on inner corners of eyes.

4. When applying eyeliner stay as close to the lash line as possible. Less is best with deep-set eyes.

5. Apply mascara to upper and lower lashes and comb through with metal lash comb, lash groomer or deluxe spooly mascara brush.

Close-Set Eyes

This eye have a dramatic, sultry look. It can be enhanced by concentrating colour near the eye's inner corners. Extend smoky shadow beyond outer corners to exaggerate them. Brush lashes out.

To make the eyes seem farther apart,

1. Apply a light color shadow on the inner half of the upper lid from lash to brow.

2. Apply the most intense colour near the outer corners of the eyes.

3. Extend a medium shade on outer half of the eyelid towards hairline and blend well.

4. Line top and bottom of eyes in any colour, but begin drawing a quarter of the way out from the inner eye.

5. Begin lining the eye at the inner corner extending a touch beyond the outer edge.

6. Smudge lines.

7. Dot highlighter in the inner corner of the eye.

8. Dust a highlighter (or light-coloured eyeshadow) just below the outer corners of lower lashes to call attention to the outsides of eyes.

9. Apply mascara to upper lashes and lower if desired. If you use mascara on lower lashes use only on outer few.

10. Brush mascara on to upper and lower lashes.

Round Eyes

These are the most common eye shape with their upswept lift at the outer corner. These eyes calls for creativity. These eyes can be made to look deeper and more intense.

1. Use a light tone shadow from lash to brow.

2. Use a dark shadow in the crease.

3. Line only outer half of the eye and extend liner out and up at the ends.

4. Mascara for top lashes only concentrating on outer half.

Bulging or Puffy Eyes

1. Draw a fairly thick line all the way across the top lash line with a brown or black pencil.

2. Apply a medium to dark shadow on the lid and in the crease. (As on the body, dark colour makes the features recede.)

3. Finish with a coat of black mascara on both upper and lower lashes.

4. Use a highlighter shade in the inner corners of the eyes.

5. Use a dark matte shadow in the crease of the eye (wherever it is bulging or puffy).

6. Extend eyeliner along the lashes going from the inner corner to the outer corner. If you prefer use a dark eye pencil in the inner lid rim. Never use the pencil under lower lashes. It will accentuate the bulging of the eye.

7. Emphasize upper lashes with mascara especially the outer lashes. Use very little or no mascara on lower lashes.

Droopy Eyelids

1. Use a light shadow along the inner half of your upper lid.

2. Use a dark matte shadow where your lid begins to droop extending to the outer half of lid.

3. Dot highlighter under the inner edge of brows.

4. Line from the inner top edge to pupil of your eye. Be careful that you do not take eyeliner to the end of the eye, as this will emphasize the droopiness.

5. Apply mascara to upper lashes.

Turned Down Eye

1. We recommend you start with the eyeliner to visually lift the outer corners of your eyes. Begin the line at the inner corner of lash line just past the pupil, and then sweep up and out. Draw a line on the lower lashes that parallels the top lid sweeping it up and out.

2. Apply medium-toned shadow over the whole lid.

3. Place a contour shade in the crease following your eyeliner as your guide. Be careful that the contour and liner do not meet at the outer corner.

4. Apply your highlighter under the brow's arch.

5. Use eyelash curler first then apply mascara to outer upper lashes only.

Small Eyes

They are proportionately smaller in comparison to the rest of the facial features. To enhance small eyes line upper and lower (never inside). Use pale, shimmery, eye shadow. Curl lashes.

1. Apply a medium-toned shadow (such as soft grey or blue) to the crease.
2. Use a soft-coloured liner (try taupe) on the top and bottom lash lines, extending the top line across the entire lash line and the bottom line from just under the iris to the outer corner.
3. Sweep black mascara on upper lashes.
4. Apply light shadow on the eyelids.
5. Apply more intense shades in the creases.

Add lift to the outer corners.
