Beautiful eyes can be made to look even more attractive with some eye makeup. Blending a couple of eyeshadow shades will enhance your eye look instantly. Here are 5 different types of eye shapes that will require different eyeshadow application hacks and tricks to make them look pretty.

Round eyes

Round eyes appear bigger and more well-defined when bright eyeshadow is applied to it. To enhance the natural shape of your round eyes, put on a base of medium eye shadow over the entire eye. Dust a light matte shade near your brow bone, and finish off your look with a dark shade of eyeshadow in the outer corner of your upper eyelid alone. This prevents a sunken look associated with round eyes, adds a little contrast, and helps elongate the width of your round-shaped eyes.

Almond eyes

Flatter your proportionate almond-shaped eyes with the right eyeshadow to enhance its perfect symmetry. First, rub a modest base with a neutral shade of eyeshadow over the entire eye. Then choose between a matte or shimmery eye shadow, both of which will provide depth when applied towards the outer corners of the eyes. Finally, outline both your upper and lower lash lines with a dark shade of eyeshadow to create a dramatic effect on your eyes and make them stand out. Almond-shaped eyes are the most versatile eye shape which can carry many diverse types of makeup looks. You can experiment with any eyeshadow application hacks for your eye shape.

Upturned eyes

Adorning your upturned eyes is quite a pleasant task. The natural upward lift at the outer corners of your eyes makes the lower eyelids appear much longer. To play up the pretty upturned shape of your eyes apply a light matte shade right under your brow bone, then smear a little shimmery eyeshadow across the entire eyelid, and then apply a deeper shade of the same eyeshadow tightly along the upper lash line. Finish off your look by applying a thick coat of the deep shade towards the outer end of your eyes in a ‘V’ shape, on both the upper and lower lash lines.

Downturned eyes

When the upper eyelids stoop lower than the ones below it at the outer corners, then you have downturned eyes. You can use eyeshadow efficiently to widen the naturally droopy look. Follow the first two steps advised for upturned eyes, and create a twist only in the final step for a cat-eye look. Apply a light matte shade under your brow bone, dust shimmery eyeshadow across the entire eyelid, and finally, thinly line the upper eyelid. Towards the outer corner extend it lightly to create the perfect cat-eye look that is most suitable for downturned eyes.

Monolid eyes

With no visible crease lines or a prominent brow bone, the monolid eyes usually observed on people of Asian origin is unique. For creating depth in such eyes, apply a light shade of eyeshadow as a base, and then dust a little matte eyeshadow over it. Lastly, use a deeper shade of eyeshadow to lightly line both the upper and lower lash lines. Make it thick along the upper lash line, and relatively thinner on the lower one to create definition.
