All things eyes PART TWO!

This is part two of all things eyes! Yes, I may be a little excited but would you? Anyhow, let's get started. In this section, we are going to talk about eye shades and how to do your eyeshadow for each eye shade. This is very important, it's similar to contouring but for your eyes. Why would you want to contour your eyes? Maybe it's because you have an event coming up and you want to look your best self-possible. Maybe you're wanting to up your makeup games. It could even be for some option I haven't thought of regardless I feel as though you'll find helpful in many ways than one.

So the best way to start regardless or your eye shade is to put your eye base on first and put a neutral matte shade to set it. Matte is best to set it with regardless of what look you're looking for. It won't affect any of your colors. Also, know the different parts of your eyes, it'll be helpful for this post. Look at the picture for references. (obritall bone is the brow bone)

Close-Set Eyes

They are eyes that are close together, they aren't touching but they are closer together than other eyes are. With close-set eyes, you want to make them look like they are wider apart. My suggestion would be to use a shimmery color in the inner corner of your eye and extend it to the middle of your lid. You want a medium shade in the center of your lid. For the outer corner and crease, you want a darker shade. With your eyeliner make it thick on the outer corner and have it get thinner as your reach the inner corner. Go heavy on the mascara on your upper lashes as well.

Wide-Set Eyes

Wide set eyes are eyes that appear to be further apart than other eyes. Wide set eyes are very hard in my personal opinion. It is really going to focus more on the eyebrows although the way you apply your eyeshadow is going to play into this as well. With your eyebrow, you want them thick and closer together but not too close or thick. It's hard because there's no set standard you'll have to play around and find what looks best for. With wide set eyes, you don't want any shimmer in the inner part of your eyes, it will only make your eyes look wider. Use mainly darker and medium colors. I'm not saying blacks and browns but, if you're going to wear pink use a dark pink.

Prominent Eyes

Prominent eyes are big. Its just plain and simple as that, some are bigger than others so not everyone in this category is going to be bugged eye. You want to give the appearance that your eyes are smaller than what they actually are. You want darker shades on your lid and up to your crease but to the orbital bone. You want rich eyeliner colors and to apply them on thick. A lighter shade under your orbital bone and for your mascara, I would emphases your eyelashes and make them dramatic, you don't have to use colored mascara there are many lashes out there that will create the drama and is still either black or brown.

Hood Eyes

Hood eyes are pretty many eyes that have a layer of skin that acts as a hood. You want to minimize or erase the appearance of the hood. The easiest way to achieve this is to apply your eyeshadow in a lighter shade on the lid. You want a medium shade in the outer corner. Apply a liner that can be smudged, the purpose is to avoid well-defined lines. You want to apply a blush or bronzer to the orbital bones outer half. Finish by applying black mascara to the upper lashes.

Deep-Set Eyes

Deep set eyes are eyes that appear to be in the skull deeper than other eyes. You don't want any dark colors where some would use black I would suggest a shade of brown. Dark colors will only emphasize the fact that your eyes are in there deep. You're a medium shade from the orbital bone and blend it down to the crease. For your lid, you want a light shimmery color. Use an eyeliner across the lash line, this will help with the definition. Apply your mascara to your top lashes only.

Mono Eyes

Mono eyes are found primary among those with an Asian decent. They are eyes that appear to have no crease. You want to give the impression that there is a crease somewhere in there. The easiest way of doing this would be to start with your eyes open and look straight ahead. Apply a thin amount of eyeshadow where your eye is opened at, this is going to act as a guideline for you. With your eye closed to go back in and blend that dark shade all across your 'crease area'. You'll want a medium shade in the outer corner and orbital bone area. With a lighter shade on your lid.
