Eye makeup for wide set eyes:
There are 8 eye shapes, today we will concentrate on wide set eyes.
7 Simple Steps To Apply eyeshadow for wide set eyes:
1. Start by Shaping your Eyebrows:
Thick and filled eye brows make the eyes appear closer. It’s suggested to reduce the gap between the brows. You can achieve it by doing both brows slightly more inwards. To make it look natural, go for gentle hair-like strokes using a brow pomade.
Quick Tip2. Apply Neutral Colour on the Eyelid:
Apply a neutral shade to the eyelids extending slightly to the outer corner of the eye and a bit above the crease for perfect eye contouring. Use primary colors like light brown or a Champaign along the eyelid.
Sinead, a YouTuber, shares how she makes the space between the eyes look less wide by using neutral shades: “I’ve already primed the eyelet to give us a nice blank canvas. Typically, you go for a lighter shade, to begin with, but we actually want to choose something closer to our skin shade. Now you can go for any colors you want. I’m using neutrals to make it easier (i).”
3. Lower Lash Line:
Using a thin brush, apply a slim color line below the eye; it should be the same color as the one you have applied on the eyelid.
4. Inner Corners Of the Eye:
Apply a darker colour like dark brown towards the inner corner of the eyes and fade it towards to the outer corner. Blend towards the inner corner. In other words, it’s the opposite of what’s usually done. This makes the eyes look narrow because the attention is on the inner corner.
5. Highlight Your Eyes:
You can do eye highlighting by using a color below the brow bone, in the center directing the eye to the pupil. Blend it with the crease color for a flawless look.
6. Line your Eyes:
Take a very dark color, tap it to the inner corner of the eye, and extend it to the middle of the to get the illusion of closer set eyes. Try avoiding wing eyeliner.
7. Apply Mascara:
Apply a coat (more if required) of mascara so that the look is complete and will last longer.
This method helps the eyes look narrow than usual; the darker shade gets all the emphasis on the inner corner of the eye making them look closer.

The right makeup for wide-set eyes can show off your eyes and transform your look in a matter of minutes. You can start by shaping your eyebrows properly so that they make your eyes appear closer.

If using false lashes, make sure you go for even-sized lashes. Make sure they’re not heavier towards the outer edge as it’ll defeat the whole purpose.
