Eye-Eye!

Bonjour People,

When it comes to eye makeup, the possibilities are endless. There are so many different looks you can try, you could have one for each day of the month! I really like the cat-eye look, almost Egyptian like. Using liquid eyeliner, for a subtle night look I create a small but thick flick from the outer corner of my eye which is in line with the end of my eyebrow. The thickness of the top lid liner decreases as it nears the inner corner of my eye.

Today, I'm giving advice on how and what makeup to apply for eye shapes and sizes that will hopefully help you achieve the look you want.
*Note - when I mention lighter and darker shades, I don't mean something like white shadow and black shadow. You'll create an unusual look! Lighter and darker shades of the same colour please :)


Sunken Eyes
Use a light eye pencil on the inner lines of the eye to create volume. Lighter, satin shades on the eyelid with slightly darker shades higher up. Outline the outer half of the eyes with liner (pencil/liquid/gel). Try to avoid thick eyebrows.

Protruding Eyes
Eyes are very prominent features on the face. Balance this by applying a dark line with pencil on the top and bottom lid. Top being slightly thicker. Use dark shadows on the upper eyelid and light/matte shades over the crease. Apply two coats of mascara. Eyebrows should be ever so slightly wide.

Eyes Set Close Together
Draw a line along the eyelashes from the middle to the outer corner of the eye and apply a light shadow to the inner corner - bringing it up towards the eyebrow to create the effect of distance. Eyebrows should be ever so slightly wide.

Eyes Wide Apart
Apply darker shades to the inner corners and lighter shades on the outsides. Make the eyeliner more intense on the inside and two coats of mascara. Eyebrows should be relatively close to the middle (try to avoid mono-brows).

Round Eyes
To enhance, draw a line on the outer corner lengthening towards the temple. Use a darker eyeliner on the inside and outside of the lids, softening towards the outer corners. Lengthen the eyebrows towards the temple.

Droopy Eyes
Apply a darker shadow on the crease of the eyes and blend upwards. Two coats of mascara. Pearly tones under the arch of the eyebrow and keep the eyebrows thick and raised at the arch.

Small Eyes
Apply shadow on the upper eyelid blending upwards. A slightly darker in the crease. Outline the lower lid with pencil and outline the lashline. Coat the lower lashes with mascara as well. Keep the eyebrows relatively long with a high arch (try to avoid half-diamond syndrome).



Obviously I'm not saying this is what you should do if your eyes resemble the types above; eyes are most beautiful when natural. I learnt this from no wearing makeup for several months, it literally changed my life! Highly recommend.

Hope you have a nice day!
