Makeup is a complex part of grooming; and eye makeup is the most important part of your make up. There are several products you use on your eyes that include eyeliner, eyeshadows, kajal, mascara, and eyebrow liner. Here we will discuss how eyeshadows can be applied with several techniques for different eye types.

Women who have rounder eyes can highlight the brow bone by applying a light shade eyeshadow on the inner corners of the eyes. A medium shade eyeshadow on the center part of the lid and a darker shade of eyeshadow around the crease can give a perfect look to your round eyes.

Close-set eyes

Women with close set eyes can do away with two shades of eyeshadows – light and medium. Highlight the eyelid with the light shade and then add the medium shade to the out corners of the eyelids. Medium shade can be applied several more times to make it look slightly darker than the usual.
