When applying eye makeup, the technique should be based on the eye shape and coloring.

Below are some techniques that will help to compliment your eyes.

Blue eyes: Apply tones such as coppers, bronzes, peaches and browns.

Brown Eyes: Shades of purple particularly make brown eyes stand out.

Small Eyes: Make small eyes appear larger by applying crease shadow toward the outer corner of the eyes.
Use lighter colors on the lid and highlight the brow bone to open the eye. Line the rims white.

Wide Set Eyes: Make wide set eyes appear closer by applying a crease color to the inner eye. Create an illusion of shade by applying eye liner on top inner rim all the way to the corners.

Deep Set Eyes: Apply a crease color higher on the brow bone to create depth, apply light shades on lid.

Close Set Eyes: Keep the crease color to the outer corner. Apply highlights to the inner corners and extend top liner slightly beyond outer edge.

Round Eyes: Use darker makeup colors for the lid and taper the line from thin to thick at the edges on the top lash line.
