Eyeshadow Application Tips for Different Eye Shapes

Determining the shape of your eye is the first step in understanding what technique of eye makeup will best suit you. With the help of some eyeshadow application hacks for every eye shape you can create some amazing eye looks. Discussed below are two different eye shapes, so go ahead and identify the one that matches your eyes.

Almond eyes

  • As its name suggests, this eye shape is similar to almonds with a beautiful symmetry. You can create different eye looks with the help of different eyeshadow application hacks for this eye shape.
  • Ideally, you can increase the depth of almond eyes with proper eye makeup.
  • Use a primer on your eyelids to make sure your eyeshadow stays put throughout the day. Apply it and blend it gently on the skin with your fingertips.
  • Pick a light, nude eyeshadow and apply it with the right brush all over your eyelids, from under the brow line to the edge of the lash line. This will help you blend the deeper eyeshadow shades well.
  • Next, select a medium colored eyeshadow and rub it along the crease of your eyelids, and through the length of the outer ‘V’ of your eyes intensely. Pay attention to this area because the almond shape of your eyes will be highlighted significantly with this eyeshadow technique.
  • Choose a dark eyeshadow color and scour it closely along the upper and lower lash lines. This will provide more intensity to your almond-shaped eyes.
  • Finish off this smoldering eye look by gently grazing a kohl eye pencil along both the upper and lower water lines.
  • A little mascara to curl up your pretty lashes would add drama to your eye look. Now the simple, yet stunning eye makeup for your almond eyes are complete and will garner attention easily.

Monolid eyes

  • Appears like there is only one eyelid, there is no prominent crease line below the brow line, so the goal here would be to magically present the appearance of a crease.
  • Start with applying foundation around the area of your eyes. Make sure you do not miss any part, else the difference in skin tones will be awkwardly visible.
  • Over the foundation, as a base coat, apply a creamy eyeshadow base that makes your eyes look bright and helps the eyeshadow last longer. Spread it along from the edge of the top lash line upward, and tightly along the lower lash line too.
  • Then rub your entire eyelid with a nude shade of eyeshadow. Wear it along the inner corners of your eyes, near the tear ducts too.
  • Now, blend in a shade of light brown eyeshadow on the entire eyelid, and supplement it with a deeper shade of brown. Start from the lash line and closely buff it up to even out all the colors. Focus on the outer ‘V’ and follow the trail to the lower lash line. With the deeper shade create a crease slightly higher to the lid.
  • Use a really dark brown eyeshadow to intensify the upper lash line and provide depth to your eyes.
  • As the ultimate step, use a liquid eyeliner to gently draw along the shape of your water line and design a narrow wing at the corner ‘V’ to make your eyes seem elongated.
  • Use a lash curler and apply mascara immediately. This will open up your eyes and will complete your eye look.
