Almond eyes 

Almond-shaped eyes are among the easiest to make up because they don't really have any flaws. You just need to highlight them. To do this, apply a light eye shadow under the brow bone to accentuate the line of your eyebrows, without forgetting the inner corner of the eye to enlarge and brighten your eyes. Then, with a darker eyeshadow, rework the outer corner of the eye going to the hollows of your eye sockets. You can then finalize everything by drawing a line of eyeliner along the upper lash. 

Round eyes 

When you have round eyes, the goal is to stretch the look to give a slightly almond shape. The easiest way to achieve this result is to use 3 gradient shades. The lightest one will be applied in the inner corner of the eye and under the brow bone to widen the look. Then, the intermediate shade will be applied to the middle of the eyelid. You can even spill over a little to the outer and inner corners of your eye. Finally, last step, with the darkest shade, stretch your eyes by highlighting the outer corner of your upper and lower eyelid for a doe eye effect. 

 

Sunken eyes

You can first use the concealer before applying your eye shadow. Then, favor light shades on the inner corner of the eye. Darker shades will be reserved for the fixed eyelid while stretching your gaze to the outer corner of your eye. To finalize your make-up, you can use a white pencil inside the eye. 

 

Little eyes 

If you have small eyes, you will need to avoid shades that are too dark, as well as kohl inside the eye. Opt more for light shades. However, you can use darker shades on the lower and upper lash line to stretch and lengthen your look. 

 

Droopy eyes 

You can easily use makeup to rebalance the horizontal line of drooping eyes, which can make your face look sad and tired. To do this, use a light-colored eyeshadow, which you will apply under your brow bone and on the inner corner of the eye, then opt for darker shades on the outer corners. 

If you are not very comfortable with applying eyeliner or lash line, permanent makeup can be a good solution to avoid having to do this every day!
