Deep-set eyes
Celeb look-alike: Brooke Shields
What it means: You have a natural crease and great bone structure.
What you can do: You want to use the lightest possible shade on your eyelids. Instead of contouring the crease, put it on the brow bone and raise it a bit higher (you want to push the brow bone back a bit).
Wide-set eyes
Celeb look-alike: Amanda Seyfried
What it means: The space between your eyes is more than the length of one eye.
What you can do: Apply a medium shade from the lashline to brow bone. Use a deep shade on the inner crease and then you bring it up and in (close to the bridge of the nose). Line eyes from the inside tapering it out to the outside, which will make eyes look bigger and more open.
Close-set eyes
Celeb look-alike: Jennifer Aniston
What it means: The space between your eyes is less than the length of one eye.
What you can do: Keep the darker shades towards the outer third of the eye and apply a shimmery shadow that’s at least two shades lighter than your skin tone to your inner eye area. This will give the illusion of more width.
Barely-there lids
Celeb look-alike: Sandra Oh
What it means: A very flat plain on the eyelid area.
What you can do: Create your own depth and crease. Use a shade all over the lid that’s slightly deeper than your natural skin tone and then apply a lighter shadow right below your brow arch. Starting close to the lashline, use a darker shade and blend upwards in a semi-circle motion (up to where you would naturally feel the bone) to give dimension.
