Naples Makeup Artist talks about Applying Make Up, (Eyes & Eye Shape)



As a Naples Makeup Artist I get to talk about applying make up all of the time! One of the most frequently asked questions is how to apply eye make up according to eye shape. The largest tip that I can give you is that before applying make up learn WHAT KIND OF EYE SHAPE YOU HAVE, then do the research. It is so important to know about your features before attempting to accentuate them. If you don't know the shape, how do you know the proper technique? There are typically 7 types of eye shapes:

-Almond- can wear almost any look, typical eye shape
-Asian - no crease, lighter colors all over lid
-Wide Set - bring the shading to the inner corner of the eye and lighter towards outer corner
-Close Set - bring shading to the outer corner and lighter to inner
-Deep Set Crease - lighter colors on lid, darker above crease towards brow
-Pronounced - smokey eyes work best to offset the "pop out" effect
-Downward - bring the darker shadow to the outer corner and angle upwards, along with liner

Applying make up can be easy if you just get the basics! Email me or message me on twitter with any questions, (either make up or skincare :) ). I would be happy to answer any makeup 911's!! :)
