Deep-set eyes:

Line the top eyelid with a dark shadow. Avoid blending over the lid, as this can make the eye seem to recede. Instead, blend a lighter shade over the lid and into the socket.

Almond-shaped eyes:

To create an illusion of this shape, line the top lid with dark brown or black shadow, from the inner corner gradually thickening the line towards the outer corner. Blend a fine line under lower lashes.

Small eyes:

To open an eye, accentuate the socket line with a natural shadow, making it wider and higher towards the outer corner. For evening, apply a few individual false eyelashes to the outer corner of the upper lid.

Large or too-oval eyes:

Balance with a triangle of darker shadow in the innermost corner of the eye, making sure you blend the colour.
