So, you now know what kind of eyes you have. You’ve already learnt more about makeup than most women, so congratulations! Don’t worry if you’re obsessed with getting your makeup just right but don’t know how to do your eyeshadow so it looks good on your eye shape. I’ve made a list of the most common eye shapes and a shadow look that would look good on each one.
1. Round Eyes
Round eyes are a blessing because they probably mean you have big, beautiful eyes. But there are times when you might want to tone that down a bit. On days when you want to do that, use a shadow just around your eyes, almost like eyeliner, to soften the look of your usual eyeliner look.
2. Hooded Eyes
If your hooded eyelids are pretty, use a lighter colour all over your lid. It will help open your eye, and if you put a darker shadow on your lash line, you’ll be ready to go in no time!
3. Monolids
I think monolids are one of the prettiest eye shapes out there, but you have to be very careful with your eye makeup. Put primer on your eyelids first, then a darker colour on the outer corner of your eyelids. This will give your eyes a contouring effect that will really make them stand out! Adding a dramatic cat eye to this look will make the shadow contouring even more noticeable!
4. Small Eyes
Everyone wants big eyes, but sometimes you just can’t have them and you’re stuck with small ones. You shouldn’t hide your beautiful, smaller eyes, but if you want bigger eyes, do these things. Don’t draw strict lines around your eyes because that will only make them look smaller. Instead, use a chubby shadow stick to line your eyes. The smudged look will make your eyes look bigger without any effort!

5. Big Eyes
If your eyes aren’t round but they are big, you’ll need a different tutorial. Instead of avoiding strict lines, accept them. The strict lines will make your eyes look more like their natural shape and make them look even bigger. A dark colour will make that even more obvious. A bigger eye is also a great canvas for trying out a lot of different colours and shadow looks, so have fun with it!
6. Deep Set Eyes
If your eyes are deeper set, play up the sexy look that comes with them. Choose a smoky eye that will make your eyes look mysterious. That’s what makes deep-set eyes so beautiful. They already look pretty mysterious, so a smoky eye will make them look even more so than you can imagine!
7. Almond Eyes
Almond-shaped eyes are very easy to play up, especially with a little eyeshadow. Make a cat eye with your favourite eyeshadow colour that goes all the way up to your brow bone. This look will make your eyes look bigger and add drama to your everyday life.
Almond-shaped eyes are so easy to make look better, especially with some eyeshadow. Use your favourite eyeshadow colour to make a cat eye that goes all the way to your brow bone. Even in your everyday life, this look will make your eyes look bigger and more dramatic. To make your eyes look even better, add a little bit of a darker colour to the crease to bring out their natural shape. Put a highlighting shadow on your brow bone and the inner corners of your eyes to make them look even more beautiful. When you use all of these methods together, you can change how you look without any effort.
8. Eyes That Are Close Together
Close set eyes are less than one eyeball width apart. Use light eye shadows in the inner corners, like frosty white or sparkling nude shades, to make it look like there is more space. Put more mascara on the outside corners of your eyes to draw attention to them.
9. Eyes That Are Turned Up
The outer corners of upturned eyes naturally lift up. You can make your eyes look level by using a mix of shimmery and dark colours. Apply a light colour from the lash line to the brow bone, and then a shimmery deep bronze to your eyelid. Finally, draw a line along the top and bottom lashes. Putting darker colours on the outer corners of upturned eyes will help balance out the shape of the whole eye.
10. Eyes That Are Turned Down
The most important thing about this shape is that the corners droop a little. Add a shadow that matches your skin tone and a darker shade that goes past the outer corner of your eye to make the corners look better. Put a dark matte on the outside corner and blend it up. Lastly, put on your eyeliner in a winged shape and then add mascara. This trick makes eyes that are turned down look up and away!
