Step 1: Start With The Base
The secret to making deep-set eyes pop is to highlight and brighten the contour of the eye with a lighter eyeshadow. Use a neutral eyeshadow all over your lid and make sure you blend it in really well.
Step 2: Move To The Crease
Use a black or deep brown eyeshadow and apply it to the crease and outer corner of your eye with a fluffy eyeshadow brush. Make sure you build up the color as you go instead of applying the dark shadow in one go.
Step 3: Add Some Shimmer
To bring the eyes forward, apply a salmon-colored shimmery eyeshadow to the middle and inner corner of your eyelids. Blend it out well so that the dark eyeshadow and the shimmer look seamless. This can be achieved with a stiff and precise eyeshadow brush. However, don’t over-blend the shimmer or spread it out of the middle and inner corner of your eyelids.
Step 4: Highlight Your Brow Bone
Use a light eyeshadow to highlight your brow bone and create a subtle gradient. You can apply it directly under the brows, add the shimmer shadow from the corner of the eye up to the outer corner of the brow.
Step 5: Enhance Your Lower Lash Line
Using the same dark eyeshadow that you used on the outer corner of your eyelid, connect the outer corner with your lower lash line and blend it in well.
Step 6: Beige To Bring Your Eyes Forward
If the eyes are deeply set, it’s best not to drag the liner to the waterline. Keep it to the eyelash line using a liner and a shadow on top. A beige eye pencil can really do the trick in bringing deep-set eyes forward. Apply it to your lower waterline.
Step 7: Add Some Oomph With Falsies
For the final touch, groom your brows and fill in any sparse areas with some brow product. Filling in the brows not only frames the eyes but also makes them look finished in a more classically elegant fashion. Curl your lashes and apply some mascara or simply go in with a pair of luscious false lashes if you want to take it up a notch. If you’re getting ready for the evening, amp it up further with some good old winged liner. Here’s the outcome! Doesn’t it look gorgeous? Now that you know the basic makeup techniques to bring your stunning deep-set eyes forward, here are some hacks that will come in handy the next time you’re doing your eye makeup.
Makeup Tips And Tricks For Deep-Set Eyes
Imagine that your eyelids are like a canvas that you are painting. There is always some discoloration, pinkness, darkness, or unevenness. The primer helps to even out these issues, so the pigment can shine in its purest form. Always start with a dab of eye primer on your lids and the area underneath your eyes to ensure that your efforts don’t go to waste. This step also extends the staying power of your makeup.
It is essential to conceal any dark circles and creases for a flawless look. If your dark circles are very prominent, use a color corrector and a concealer to cover them up. Adding a thin coat of the foundation on top of the concealer will make it look smoother. It is impossible to go wrong with mascara. Make sure you curl your lashes and then apply mascara to add volume and length to your lashes. Also, mascara works best when it is used for 3 months and then replaced. It keeps away possible eye infections and drying out. If you have oily skin or are going to be running around, it’s a good idea to use a waterproof eyeliner and mascara to prevent your makeup from running down your face. Waterproof liner and mascara are best used on your wedding day or if you are on vacation on the beach. Removing them at the end of the day is vital in keeping your lashes healthy.
Applying a lighter shade of eyeshadow all over your lid and to the inner corner of your eye really helps in brightening and bringing forward deep-set eyes. If you’re using a dark eyeshadow, make sure you only apply it to the outer corner of your eye. Ensure your eyebrows are on their A-game by using a brow product to fill in any sparse areas. You can use brow shadow or brow gel to fill them in. Getting your brows regularly groomed by a professional is important. Go easy on the eyeliner. It’s best to apply eyeliner only to the outer corners of your eyes. You can also add a thin eyeliner on the top and bottom lashes with a shadow for longevity and looking less hash. Use a magnifying mirror in proper lighting while you apply your makeup to get the most precise and flawless results. If you don’t have a magnifying mirror, having natural lighting hitting your face is a more realistic view to how you will look to the rest of the world
How do you accentuate deep-set eyes? To accentuate deep-set eyes, select a lighter eyeshadow and highlight the contour of the eye. You may also apply a little highlighter to the inner corners of the eyes. Do people with deep-set eyes have dark circles? Not necessarily. But the superior orbital ridges (bone below the eyebrow) may cast a shadow under the eyes, making it look like they have dark circles.
