corrective makeup on different eye shapes

Eyes that are close to each other

The goal is to make the eyes appear more apart from each other.

Corrective Steps:

1. Apply a white, beige or golden eye shadow colour onto the eyelid and also under your eyebrows.
2. Apply any other natural eye shadow colour in the fold of your eye, but concentrate on the outer corners of your eye. The eye shadow colour must become gradually darker to the outside corners of your eyes.
3. Apply a highlighting colour in the inside corner of your eye.
4. Eyeliner must only be applied from the middle of your eye to the outside corner of your eye.
