step 1: scroll through the photos. I know it can be hard, but do your best to ignore skin tone and eye color, and just focus on the actual shape of the eye.

step 3: making them beautiful you have basic eyes basic eyes are evenly spaced on the face with the entire lower lid showing when the eye is open. if you were to measure the width of one eye, there would be approximately the same amount of space between that eye and the other eye. important tips: *do not apply eyeshadow all the way from the lash line to the brow, because such a sweeping application is unflattering to your eye shape.

*apply your highlight shade to the inside corner of the lower lash line. This will really help open up your eyes, making them appear larger and more youthful. what you'll need: the basic eye application download covers an every day, basic eye application that will make your basic eyes stunning! for this application, you'll need three eyeshadow colors: a highlight shade

step 3: making them beautiful you have hooded eyes hooded eyes are sometimes called "bedroom eyes" because the lids tend to look partly closed. applied correctly, eye color can help hooded eyes appear more open by minimizing the eyelid. our goal with the hooded eye shape is to make the fleshy lid area "push away" or recede, and help your eyes become more prominent than the eyelids. important tips: *never use a dark eyeshadow over the entire lid, because it makes it appear heavier and will close in your eyes.

*don’t be tempted to highlight the browbone too much, because doing so can accentuate the hooded appearance of the eyelid. what you'll need: the hooded eye application download covers an every day, hooded eye application that will make your hooded eyes stunning! for this application, you'll need three eyeshadow colors: a highlight shade

step 3: making them beautiful you have wide-set eyes if the spacing between your eyes is wider than the width of one eye, your eyes are considered wide-set. our goal with wide-set eyes is to create the illusion that they are set closer together. important tips: *in this case, you need to darken the inside hollows of your eye next to the bridge of your nose more than for any other eye shape. deepening the color helps this area appear to recede and makes your eyes look closer together.

*begin all dark-color application slightly in from the outer corners and blend your shadow in and up instead of outward, because an outward blending will "pull" the eyes wider apart, and your goal is to “pull” them closer together. what you'll need: the wide-set eye application download covers an every day, wide-set eye application that will make your wide-set eyes stunning! for this application, you'll need three eyeshadow colors: a highlight shade

step 3: making them beautiful you have prominent eyes if your eyelids and eyes are very full and tend to extend from the face, you have prominent eyes. the goal with the prominent eye shape is to visually "push" the eye away from us and help it appear to recede more gently into the face. we do this by creating a light-to-dark effect with the three eyeshadows, with the darkest shade applied closest to the lash line and fading as you go toward the brow. important tips: *never highlight the eyelid or you will make the eye appear even more prominent.

*a deeper or contour shade across the lid helps to minimize it and makes it appear to recede. what you'll need: the prominent eye application download covers an every day, prominent eye application that will make your prominent eyes stunning! for this application, you'll need three eyeshadow colors: a highlight shade

step 3: making them beautiful you have deep-set eyes deep-set eyes are eyes that are set deep into the sockets. the browbone also extends out farther than with any other eye shape. the goal with deep-set eyes is to bring them out and make them more noticeable. important tips: *a dark eyelid does not work with this eye shape. you want to highlight deep-set eyes as much as possible to help bring them out.

*a dark crease is also unnecessary for this eye shape. nature has provided its own, so there’s no need to emphasize it. *there is no need to highlight the browbone, since it is already prominent. *if you wear eyeliner with this eye shape, keep it very close to the lash line and very thin. a thick eyeliner will work against you when you’re trying to bring the eye out, especially on the upper lid. what you'll need: the deep-set eye application download covers an every day, deep-set eye application that will make your deep-set eyes stunning! for this application, you'll need three eyeshadow colors: a highlight shade

step 3: making them beautiful you have close-set eyes the average space between a pair of eyes is approximately the width of one eye. if your eyes are spaced any closer, you have close-set eyes. our goal with a close-set eye is to create the illusion of eyes that are farther apart. important tips: *keep the inside corners and areas closest to the nose as light as possible to help visually "push" the eyes apart.

*make sure to concentrate the darker shades on the outer corners of this eye shape. what you'll need: the close-set eye application download covers an every day, close-set eye application that will make your close-set eyes stunning! for this application, you'll need three eyeshadow colors: a highlight shade
