Eye Shadow Tips for Bringing out Deep Set Eyes
Deep set eyes can be a pain to put makeup on in order to make them seem less deep set. Using eye shadow in the wrong way can make eyes look even more closed off rather than open and shallow set. There are many tips and tricks, however, to use makeup to your advantage to help your eyes stand out rather than sink in, and bring out the best in your eyes.
The first tip when using makeup to your advantage to combat deep set eyes is to avoid using dark colors on the brow bones of your eyes – this will just make them look more deep set and less shallow. Brushing a deeper shadow color just above your eye’s crease – this brings out the natural contours of your eyes without sinking them in deeper, by using contrast. Using mascara generously on both the top and the bottom lashes can do wonders for opening up the eyes and helping them look more shallowly set. Only apply eyeliner thinly and without a thick, chunky look to them – this can make the eyes look too heavy and deep set and can do the opposite of what you need it to.
There are a few things to avoid when trying to bring out deep set eyes. One is avoiding very dark eye shadows on the brow bones of your eyes. Another is using shimmer and glitter on these brow bones, which can make the eyes look too much deeper set than necessary. If you are using any glitter or shimmering eye shadows, use these in the crease or just above the lashes of the eyes.
