Finally I tightlined the eye and added mascara.Then I added shimmery color to the lid (see how that highlights that area?) and on the inner corner.Then I blended that out really well, leaving the eyeshadow still focused in the outer part of the eye.

Next I started to elongate the eye by defining the outer corner.If your eyes are not hooded, you can lightly shade your crease instead. First I lightly shaded the hooded area with a light brown.That makes the makeup even more flattering for her.īesides the usual step by step eyeshadow tutorial, I have more photos below to show you the change compared to the bare eye. You might also notice, that the eyeshadow color I chose really brings out the olive color of her eyes. This elongates the eye and suits her almond eyes perfectly! Rather than taking the eyeshadow super high (like I do on my own eye shape), she takes advantage of the outer part of the eye and pulls the eyeshadow there. Define the outer part of the eye with a dark matte shade, along with the natural shape of the eye.Īnnika is used to wearing eyeshadow and she always wears her eyeshadow pretty much the way I did it here.If you have hooded eyes, make sure to lift up the shading on top of the hood as well. Shade the crease with a medium matte shade.When she relaxes her eyes you can see the hood dropping on the lid a bit.Ī flattering makeup is basically done in just three steps. They are also a bit hooded, but they don’t totally hide her lid. My sister’s Annika’s eyes are almond shaped. But you can also elongate your eye by pulling the eyeshadow to the side a bit, like I did here.Īlmond eyes are typically more narrow, rather than round, and there is not a lot of visible lid space. When it comes to hooded or deep set eyes, bringing the eyeshadow high is a good trick. This technique can also work for hooded or deep set eyes. It just further emphasizes the almond shape of the eye and makes it appear bigger.

This elongating makeup works especially well for almond shaped eyes.
