Lighter shadows provide an effect of bigger eyes, while darker shades make them look smaller than they really are. For bigger eyes a light shade should be swept over the lid and a darker shade on the outer corner of the lid and creased. In case if the eyes will be outlined on the outer side of upper and lower lids with the help of the eyeliner, and the outside of the eye will be tepered a bit, this will help to elongate it.
Neutral shades of eye shadows, such as beiges and browns look more natural, while brighter shades, such as blue and green may look somewhat artificial and dramatic;
Iridescent, frosted, light colors and white eye shadows should be avoided to be applied on mature skin and puffy eyelids. Women should prefer wearing sofr matte colors instead of them;
It is preferable to use cream eye shadows, as they do not cause creasing upon application and should be coordinated with powder shadows that are to be used on top of them. Cream eye shadows are to be applied with the help of fingertips.
In order to create the brow bone to downplay, it is necessary to sweep a light or medium tone eye shadow on the lid and slightly darker shade above the eye. Thick eyeliner should be applied in the middle of the eye and tapering at both ends.
If someone wants to add definition to the eyelids, it would be good to apply some medium – toned eye shadow across the lid and brow bone and dust the under brow area with some light highlighter shade. While this a very fine pencil liner of some natural color is to be applied to line the upper and lower lash lines.
In order to glamorize eyes for night outs, shimmer should be added to highlight the eyes;
In order to lift up tired eyes, the color form the outer corner of the lid should be extended upwards to give the eyes a feline shape. In addition, a light highlighter on the brow bone without the eyeliner application brightens the eyes up. Mascara is to be concentrated on the inner corner of the eye.
In order to make the eyes look wider apart, it is necessary to keep the inside corners of them lighter than the outer edges. For this it would be good to apply concealer once shade lighter than the woman’s skin at the inner corner of the lids and the sides of the nose and blend it well. Besides a matte medium to dark eye shadow is to be used to stroke it outward and slightly upward form the middle of the lid to its outer half. The eyeliner is to be used a bit in from the inner corner of the eye and the line should be made tapering up and out a bit past the outer corner of the eyes.
