The size or shape of your eyes should not determine whether you can enjoy wearing eyeliner. Knowing how to accentuate and enhance your natural features is the best way to get the most out of any eyeliner. Creating beautiful eyeliner looks is as easy as understanding how they will look on your unique eye shape – and tailoring your liner to fit your features.
Here is your guide to the best looks for your individual eye shape:
Small Eyes
Small eyes need visual impact to balance the rest of the face. Reach for a glittery or metallic liner – like this Uhue glitter eyeliner in pink or silver – to create drama and visual interest around your pretty peepers!
Big Eyes
People with big eyes should avoid winged looks for every day. Consider adding a thin line to both the top and bottom lashes with a dark gel pencil to create a beautiful yet subtle visual pop.
Hooded Eyes
Many people believe that those with hooded eyes should not wear eyeliner or stylized eye makeup looks, but that isn’t the case. These uniquely shaped eyes just need the right application techniques to make them look great! Lay your liner on thick for a classic cat eye or winged liner look to ensure that it isn’t lost in the fold of your lid.
Deep-Set Eyes
Deep-set eyes are like hooded eyes in their challenges for eye makeup looks. Choose a liner style that is bold yet thin, so as not to smear on your deep-set lids. Bright or bold colors can make a big impact in a little swipe.
Close-Set Eyes
If you feel like your eyes are too close-set, apply your eyeliner to the middle of your lash line and stroke outward. This will create more visual separation and length for your lashes.
Wide-Set Eyes
For wide-set eyes, make your lines short and keep any wing close to the corner of your eye. This abbreviated wing style will make your eyes look more balanced with the rest of your features.
Asymmetrical Eyes
While there is no need to “fix” asymmetrical eyes, you can make them appear more balanced with the right application of eyeliner. Simply apply eyeliner to your larger eye first, then mirror application on the smaller eye to create a more symmetrical appearance.
Round Eyes
Very round eyes can benefit from a smokey eye makeup look or the exaggerated application of eyeliner to make them appear longer and more pointed at the corner. Use a kohl or gel liner that you can easily smudge to create that smokey look and make your wing longer to really draw it out.
Almond Eyes
To widen and brighten almond eyes, go for a graphic liner look. This can be a more rounded shape drawn with liquid or a thin pencil liner to create that more open appearance you are looking for. Add a white liner to the bottom waterline to create an even brighter, livelier look!
Monolid Eyes
Monolid eyes are especially beautiful with a little extra exaggeration. Extend your eyeliner and even your shadow to create a bold visual impact and make the most of the space on your face.
