HOW TO: FIND THE PERFECT EYELINER SHAPE FOR YOUR EYE SHAPE!

 

Push liner Suits: All eye shapes. This is technique suits everyone and keeps all the lid space – meaning your eyeshadow will show through. Very good for asian eyes, almond eyes and small eyelids.

Standard eyeliner Suits: Standard eyes. Small eyes. Any eye where you have enough eyelid space so that there is still visible eyelid once the eyeliner has been applied.
Does not suit as well: Eyes that don’t have enough visible eyelid space (some asian and almond eyes) – otherwise it can look like you have black eyeshadow on.

Winged eyeliner Suits: Asian eyes. Almond eyes. Standard eyes. Small eyes.
Does not suit as well: Hooded eyes as the fold of skin can get in the way and distort the winged effect.

Waterline Kohl Lining Suits: Everyone. I love it and it looks beautiful and really makes a statement.
Does not suit as well: If you have small eyes black kohl liner can make your eyes appear smaller than they are. They will still really stand out but it can shrink the eyes. Using a coloured kohl or gel eyeliner on the waterline also looks great.
