HOW TO APPLY EYESHADOWS based on eye types (from my tumblr)

If you have this eye shape or you wanna look like that, I will recommend a basic design that will take you anywhere. Choice of colors must be a dark base and an accent shade.

• Apply base color from lashline to brow.
• Apply coutouring shade along lash line, in an upward brush to form a V-shape.
• Blend.
• Create a wedge at the outer corner using accent color.
• Line upper and lower lashlines with eye defining pencil, in upper lashline, you can use gel eyeliner or liquid eyeliner.
• Apply mascara.

If you are asian, KPOP inspired, you wanna look like this and if you have this eyeshape, you must to treat the browbone with as much importance as the lid.

• Apply base coat from lashline to brow working down from browbone to lashline to put little color to the lids (This makes your eyes more emphasized)
• Apply contour shade to inner and outer thirds of browbone (must use light colors)
• Apply accent color along lashline corner to corner then in along and just over crease.
• Blend accent color back and forth along crease with brush. (to spead colors evenly)
• Apply thin line of defining pencil above upper lashes from corner to corner. (better if you will use a gel eyeliner or a liquid one)
• Line below lower lashes from outside corner in your contour color. (using eye pencil on lower lashes makes your eyes bigger, better use light colors)
• Gently smudge both lines/Blend
• Apply mascara.

If you have a prominent or emphasized eyelids, or want to have this eye type look, you should contour below the crease to draw attention away from how much lid is exposed and to emphasize upper lashline

• Apply base coat from lashline to brow
• Add contour shade over entire lid socket
• Blend carefully
• Apply accent color along lashline from inside corner to slightly to outside corner then in below the crease instead of along it
• Line upper lashes from inside corner out with the line getting thicker at the outside corner (use thick eyeliner outside)
• Line lower lashes, smudge both using brush
• Apply mascara

If you have narrow /hooded lids, or want to have a look like this, the key is to use color to make it seen through and more of the lid is showing

• Apply base coat from lashline to brow with a little more color at the inside corner
• Apply contour shade on lid from from corner to corner extending above the crease, under lower lashes, from outside corner to the edge of iris
• Apply accent color close to lashline above center of pupil and blend outward
• Line upper lashes corner to corner, lower lashes from outside corner to inside of iris
• Smudge the lines
• Apply mascara 

If you have these wide set shape / edge, the emphasis is on the inside half of the eye above the crease.

• Apply base color from lashline to brow
• Apply contouring shade along lashline from inside corner out, then back along the crease to inner corner, being careful not to extend to the edge (it will make your eyes sag)
• Line upper lashes from corner to corner, adding little bit on outside (this will make eyes smaller and with edge)
• Line lower lashes with pencil
• Gently smudge, the pencil in lower lashes avoiding to have a heavy color
• Apply mascara, being sure to fully cover the lashes near inside corner

To have a closed set, the emphasis is on the outer half of the eye

• Apply base color from lashline to brow, you can also apply a lighter shade before the base color to create more of an illusion, (use white or yellow, or even light green)
• Apply contouring shade along lashline and in along crease, starting above outer edge of iris, extending beyond outside corner and up.
• Blend colors evenly
• Make a large wedge at outer corner with accent color, to have a contrasting edge
• Line upper lashes from inside edge of iris past outside corner of eye
• Apply mascara with emphasis on outer lashes, making it thicker

To obtain a deep set eye shape, we must lessen the shadows on the inside corner and make the browbone area look less lighter

• Apply base color from lashline to brow with a little more colorat the inside corner
• Apply contour shade out along lashline and in along crease, stopping just above inner edge of the iris
• Add a little more color under lower lashes from inside edge of iris to outer corner (maybe you could use eyeshadow for that)
• Add accent color lightly along crease
• Blend well
• Line upper lashes from inside corner to just past outside the corner, lower lashes from outside corner in just below pupil
• Gently smudge eyeliners, then
• Apply mascara

Remember that you should always test the colors on the back of the hand to see the intensity.
Pale tones emphasize, while deep shades define.

Yeah! Smokey eyes are very sexy. Right color combination can make your eyes stand out.
You can basically work with 3 colors: a light, a medium and a dark shade.

Play with the colors, and see what you come up with. Just make sure that you apply the same amount of mixed colors  to both eyes to create an even look. 



The point is to achieve the natural look, yet dramatically different.
