No two people’s eyes are exactly the same, unless you have an identical twin. The size, shape, and even eye color is explicitly unique to every individual.
So why would you say the smoky-eye technique looks good on everyone if there are so many different varieties of eye out there? For instance,
one of my friends is Asian, and every time I did her makeup it wouldn’t look as good as I wanted it, something about it was just off.
So I researched and experimented, and eventually I came to the realization that the way of applying makeup doesn’t have to be uniform for all,
there are several ways to look good not using the same routine knowledge. Mix it up a little, go out and experiment.
Here are some styles I have learned over the years that work with the right conditions:
Okay, let’s start with color and finding which shades work with this color.
Brown or Black
Eye shadows: rich purples (like plum shades), dark browns, grays, and golds.
Eyeliner: black or black-brown
Blue or Gray
Eye shadows: browns, golds, and grays
Green or Hazel
Eye shadows: purple works best to bring out green! Browns work nicely too.
Blondes and Redheads
Eyeliner: do not use black unless you have brown eyes or going out at night. Should be anywhere between black-brown and a dark brown.
Black to Very Dark Brown Hair
Eyeliner: black looks best.
The in-Between Hair Shades (Light Brown, Brownish, Reddish, etc.)
Eyeliner: Black or black-brown
Mascara should be black for everyone unless you have very pallor eyebrows, then I recommend a dark brown.
Now onto eye shapes!
Large Eyelids (your eyelids are equal in size or half the size of your open eye. Example: Cher)
Use white or a lighter shade of the color you want to use on your brow line all the way down to the crease. Now use a slightly darker color on the lid itself.
Next, use a very deep, darker color inside the crease all along your eye.
This enhances and defines the luscious lid you were born with making your eyes appear larger.
