The main thing you have to remember when you are choosing your eyeshadow colors is that dark colors deepen the eyes and that light colors will make your eyes stand out. Choose the right colors for your face and eye type and have some q-tips near you in case you mess something up.
There are different types of faces and eyes and for each one there is a different technique that you should use to make your face look more appealing:
Wide |
Wide-set eyes:
on wide set eyes you use the dark tone in from the inside corner of the eyelid to the middle of the eyelid and apply the light tone from the center to the outside of the eyelids.
Close-set eyes:
if you have close set eyes you have to apply the dark tone of the eyeshadow from the centre to the outside of your eyelides and go beyond the outre corner. Then apply a lighter color from the center to the inside of the eyelid.
Droopy eyes:
if you have droopy eyes then you have to apply the darker tone on your eyelid and go upwards in a wing shape. Use the highlight tone under your eyebrows.
Small eyes:
If you have small eyes then you apply the darker tone of eyeshadow on the socket of the eye and the upper part of the eyelid. On the lid you should use a lighter tone of eyeshadow and highlight under the eyebrows.
