Eye Shadow Tips to Enhance Your Eyelid Shape

These eye shadow tips will help you figure out the shape of your eyelid so your eye make up application can enhance your natural beauty. The shape of your eyes and eyelids determine which part of the eye area you need to shade or highlight.

Something that everyone can do regardless of eyelid shape is to apply high lighter to the brow bone (above the eyelid and below the eyebrow). Now, the amount of visible eyelid will determine if you need to highlight your eyelid or apply eye shadow to shade it.

If you are not sure about your eyelid size, go to the nearest mirror and take a good look at it. Is it puffy or just right?! Make sure you are looking at yourself squarely and not at an angle. Then come back and compare with the pictures below

Applying Dramatic Eye Shadow Tips to Shade and Highlight...

Prominent Eyelid

If you have this eyelid you want to make the eyelid look smaller and thinner. So shade the eyelid and the crease of the eye and highlight only below the eyebrow, not the eyelid.

Hooded Eyelid

With this type you want to make it look like there is more eye lid. Apply high lighter on the eyelid to make it look larger. Shade the crease of the eye only and spread the eyeshadow outwards to join the corners of the eye.

Deep Set Eyes

This is the most versatile shape because you can either apply eye shadow tips to highlight or shade the eyelid (of course, you don't want to do both at the same time ;-). Make sure you shade the crease of the eye and apply high lighter just under the eyebrow.

You can use eye shadow tips to apply brown, smokey, green or blue shades for any of the above lid shapes depending on which is complementary to you.
