Determining your eye shape is just as important as selecting the right colors for your skin tone.
So far, we’ve looked at almond or asian, hooded or droopy, and prominent or small eyes. Today, we’re learning about standard and round shaped eyes.
In a couple of weeks, we’ll get into different eye positionings (ie. deep set, wide set, etc.)
STANDARD EYES
(I am soooo sorry this picture is so small! I’m trying to keep all the pictures similar to make this series of blogs more “uniformed”)
Description: Eyes are considered standard when the lid is visible and have the exact same dimensions. Your eyes are standard if the corners of the eyes are aligned, the distance between your eyes is size of the width of your eye and your eyes aren’t sunken (like deep-set eyes) or protruding (like prominent eyes)
Make-up Techniques: Apply highlighter to the brow bone, apply a midtone shade all over your eyelid and apply the darker shade to your crease
ROUND EYES
This shape is just stunning.
Description: Round eyes characteristics are large & open-looking eyes
Make-up Techniques: To make your eyes appear more “almond”, apply a medium colored eyeshadow on your entire lid, up to the crease. Extend that color to your other V, then down to the lower lash line. Use a dark eyeliner on your top & bottom lash line, extend it out beyone the outer V (for a cat like shape). Apply most your mascara to the top, outer lashes.

Hello. I am a very new MUA and I am attempting to make up my face. I can do others thus far but not my own. LOL. yeah a bit weird I know but I’ve never worn makeup.
Your article really made an impression on me.
I seem to be having issues with the application on my eyes. I have a standard eye but my techniques in applying certain “looks” to my face are not working very well. My girlfriend tells me I have small eyes and should #1 reshape my brow and #2 not ever do a smokey eye as it makes my eye disappear. I would very much like your opinion if you don’t mind? Would you be willing to assist me?
I have never worn makeup myself but after making a discovery at 41 in loving makeup and face painting, I have to be a walking poster for my new found love and business. If I don’t look good then whose going to invest in my skills?
Please let me know when you can
Sincerely,
Nisha
