Eye makeup can completely transform your look, but to truly enhance your beauty, you need to adapt it to your eye shape.
If you still don't know which one is your eye shape, here's a simple way to find it:

ALMOND EYES: considered to be the most versatile and suit almost every makeup look
how to improve:
-enhance their natural shape with a slightly elongated eyeliner
-use a soft smoky shadow to add depth
-darken the outer corner for a lifted effect
MUST-TRY: thin cat-eye + warm brown eyeshadow

HOODED EYES: if the skin above your crease folds over your eyelid
how to improve:
-do a thin or smudged liner
-apply matte shades above the crease to create an illusion of depth
-curl your lashes to open up your eyes
MUST-TRY: soft, smoky liner + volumized lashes for a lifted effect

DOWNTURNED EYES: if the outer corner of your eyes are lower than the inner corners
how to improve:
-use eyeliner that flicks slightly upwards
-highlight the inner corners
-darken only the outer upper lash line for an instant eye-lift
MUST-TRY: kitten flick eyeliner + accentuated outer lashes

ROUND EYES
how to improve:
-extend the eyeliner outward to elongate the shape
-blend darken shadows towards the outer corners for a more lifted effect
-avoid putting dark shadows in che center of the lid, as it makes the eyes appear rounder
MUST-TRY: horizontally blended soft smoky eye
MONOLID EYES
how to improve:
-use a gradient effect from LIGHT TO DARK
-make the eyeliner thicker at the outer corner for a lifting effect
-use wispy or flared lashes
MUST-TRY: straight, horizontal eyeliner + warm-toned eyeshadow

CLOSE-SET EYES
how to improve:
-avoid thick eyeliner in the inner corners
-darken the outer corners to draw attention outward
-use eyeliner in the outer corners
-some people also advice highlighting the inner corners with shimmer or champagne shadow
MUST-TRY: cat-eye lashes + eyeliner

WIDE-SET EYES
how to improve:
-apply a slightly darker shade near the tear ducts
-avoid eyeliner
-apply extra mascara to the inner lashes for balance
MUST-TRY: slightly thicker eyeliner in the inner corners
