Different Eye Shapes, Different Eye Make-Up

Eye Techinques for Different Eye Types

Not everyone has the same shape of eyes. That means that not everyone should use the same style of eye make up.

Do you have Round, Almond or Oval Eyes?

• Round Eyes are generally larger and have a more open look to them.
• Almond Eyes have an upswept outer corner.
• Oval Eyes generally have the appercience of being more shut, some may say squinky.

If you have Round Eyes:

• Use a darker liner and extend beyond the eyelid at the outer corner to make the eyes appear to be longer.
• Use medium shades of eyeshadow from the lashline to the crease.

If you have Almond Eyes:

• Nuetral color liner under the eye
• do not use the same liner on the top lash line and the bottom.
• Limit the amount of liner that you use on the tip lash.
• Use lighter shsades or a smoky eye or smudged eye.

If you have Oval Eyes:

• Use your eyeliner to give your eyes the look of being taller, start with a thin line at the outer corner of the lash line and gradually thicken towards the middle of the eye. Shrink the line as you approach the inner corner of the eye.
• Try not to use a lower liner, if you feel as if you need to, make it a VERY fine line under the lower lashes.

There are more than just the shape of the eyes:
