for deep-set eyes
Rely on pale, shimmery shades to enhance your eyes. Sweep a light shade across lid from the inner corner to a just beyond the outer corner.

for wide-set eyes
Create closeness applying a deep shadow shade from the inner corner to mid-lid. Then apply a lighter shade from mid-lid to outer corner and blend where shades meet.

for close-set eyes
Help them appear wider by applying a pale shade from the inner corner to mid-lid. Then apply a slightly deeper shade from mid-lid to outer corner and blend where shades meet.

for glasses-wearers
Forget about adding more color with shadows. Instead play up lashes with an inky black mascara.
Take time to shape and define your eye brows—remember, brows should frame your eyes, not your frames.

for asian eyes
To bring out their beauty, create a thick, smoky line along top lashes-thick enough to be seen when your eye is open-and a thinner one under bottom lashes.
