Eyeshadow isn’t just for those with deep-set eyes – it can enhance shallow-set ones, too. Find out how you can apply eyeshadow for monolids and different eyelids.
You should: Pick shades that complement your skin tone – there’s no need to worry about anything else. You won’t go wrong with brown, plum and khaki green.
Step 1: Sweep a light-coloured eyeshadow over the whole eyelid, fading it towards the brow bone.
Step 2: Dab a darker shade on the outer eye corner and blend inwards so it covers one-third of the eyelid.
Step 3: Dust plum or brown eyeshadow on the outer one-third of the eyelid, keeping it below the fold of the eyelid, and along the outer half of the lower lash line.
Step 4: Line your eyes close to the lash line.
YOU SHOULD: Use eyeliner to balance out your single and double eyelids.
Step 1: Sweep a highlighter shade across the eyelids, from lash line to brow bone.
Step 2: Blend a darker shade over just the eyelids to give eyes more dimension.
Step 3: When lining the single eyelid, keep your eye open and dot along the lash line. Connect the dots and fill in the space along your lash line.
Step 4: When lining the double eyelid, keep eyeliner just below the fold of the lid. When both eyes are closed, the eyeliner will look thicker on the single eyelid.
You should: Keep your eyeshadow visible by blending it higher up on the eye socket.
Step 1: Starting from the lash line, blend a light-hued eyeshadow over the eye socket, but keep it below the brow bone.
Step 2: Use a darker shade on the outer one-third of the eyelid and blend it upwards on the eye socket.
Step 3: Line eyes, beginning at the inner corner. Extend the eyeliner so the outermost point just touches the fold of the eyelid. The line should look like a narrow triangle.
Step 4: Add a touch of light shimmer in the middle of the eyelid to make eyes look bigger.
You should: Use dark colours so your eyes look bigger and wider.
Step 1: Starting at the inner corner of the eye, apply dark brown eyeshadow on the upper lash line, using a thin liner brush. Lightly smudge the eyeshadow so it looks like a blunt line.
Step 2: Brush the same eyeshadow on your lower lash line, starting from the outer corner and working inwards.
Step 3: Dab a medium-toned eyeshadow, like a cobalt blue or purple, over the brown eyeshadow and blend. Add more on the outer one-third of the eyelid.
Step 4: Looking straight into the mirror, mark the highest point of your upper lash line with an eyeliner. Then, starting from the inner eye corner, apply eyeliner all
