Eyes & brows
Eye makeup shaped to your lid space
The same smoky palette reads dramatic on wide lids and heavy on hooded ones. Nail your shape first, then pick depth, liner, and lash focus.
Know your eye shape first
Almond, hooded, monolid, downturned, and upturned traits overlap. Identify what limits your lid visibility and where your crease folds when eyes are open. The eye shape detector uses landmarks from a front-facing photo; treat the label as a placement guide, not a box.
Eyeshadow structure
A three-shade stack covers most days: bone or light matte on the brow bone, medium transition in the crease, deeper shade on the outer third. Shimmer belongs on the center lid or inner corner for openness, not always all over. Hooded eyes benefit from crease placement above the fold. For event looks, see soft glam eye structure.
Liner and lashes
Tightlining deposits pigment between upper lashes for density without eating lid space. Ideal for office and natural looks (tightlining basics). Wings should clear hooded folds when eyes are open; the eyeliner style finder suggests wing length, smudge, or pencil styles by skill and occasion.
Brows frame everything
Brows balance face length and eye spacing. Map start, arch, and tail before tweezing. eyebrow mapping for beginners. Fill sparse gaps with hair-like strokes; soap brows add texture but should still follow your bone structure.
