Identifying Your Eye Shape

Identifying the eye shape will help you apply eyeliner for different eye shapes. 

• Round eyes are equal in height and width, with a bulge in the upper and lower eyelids. 
• Almond-shaped eyes are more open than round eyes and have a slight upward turn at the outer edges. 
• Hooded eyes are characterized by an upper eyelid fold covering the eyelid, making the eye crease hardly visible. 

However, to identify your eye shape, use a washable marker to draw the line of your eyelids or take a picture for measurement comparison. This little task will help you apply eyeliners for different Asian eye shapes to reveal your unique features.

Best Eyeliner Techniques for Each Eye Shape

Here are some ways to apply eyeliner that enhance the beauty of specific eye shapes:

1. Eyeliner for Round Eyes 

Steps: Draw a small line at the inner corner of the eye and gradually make it thicker towards the outer corner. 

Suggestion: For an elongated look, slightly extend the liner at the outer corner of the eye with an upturned flick. 

2. Eyeliner for almond eyes 

Steps: Make a thin line above the natural crease of the lashes’ line.

Suggestion: Stay on the outer area of the eye and draw the tiny wing, which will be visible with the eyes open.

Eyeliner for Almond Eyes

Maybelline’s Master Precise All Day Liquid Eyeliner creates flawless winged effects. Its ultra-fine tip helps create clean, sharp lines, making it ideal for enhancing the appearance of almond-shaped eyes. 

The fine tip allows for a precise application, crucial in enhancing the natural eye line without smudging it. Thanks to its smudge-free, all-day wear formula, the wing will be sharp, allowing for a deep or sophisticated style.

Eyeliner for Hooded Eyes

L’Oreal Tattoo Studio Ink Pen Eyeliner is an effective, long-lasting liner that does not spill. Its fine tips prevent eyeliner from smudging during or after an extended period. 

Tips for Hooded Eyes:

• Upper Lash Line: Trace a skinny, light line over the upper ocular border.
• Stretch Beyond: Thicken it and stretch the liner further for a subtle winged effect.
• Lift the Eyelids: Do not make a straight-winged eyeliner, but lift it upward to create an illusion of larger and rounder eye shapes.

These are some simple tips for applying eyeliner for different eye shapes for hooded eyes.

Eyeliner for Round Eyes

Maybelline’s Color Tattoo Eye Stix is the best eyeliner for round eyes. Its advanced formula allows for more accurate placement of the straight line that complements the shape of the eye. This creamy eyeliner stays longer without being smudged. 

The Procedure of Application:

• Start Thin: Begin by drawing an inner line thinly.
• Gradually Thicken: Focus on extending the liner outward as a wing for an almond-shaped effect.  
• Extend Eye Beyond a Plane: draw the wing over the lash line to enhance the look of longer eyes.

Trending Eyeliner Styles and How to Achieve Them

Here are the trending eyeliner for different eye shapes: 

Graphic Liner: Focuses on the eyes, making them broad, bold, and clean-cut. Concentrate on the edges to elongate a round eye. Use straight or thick lines to create borders for the lid, which is a monolid. 

Floating Crease: This trend of drawing a line above the eyelid crease gives the style a modern look. For hooded eyes, draw the line upwards just above the fold so it does not disappear.

Try Maybelline’s gel or Medora’s liquid eyeliner for different eye shapes for long-lasting wear and precision. Both products are available at Eshaistic.

Common Eyeliner Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

One of the reasons women face when it comes to eyeliner application is due to the different shapes and forms of their eyes. Here are some of the common mistakes and how to stop eyeliner from smudging:

1. Hooded Eyes: A thick eyeliner application usually hides within the lid’s crease. 

Solution: Extend the wing outward slightly, then draw a thinner line at the lash line. 

2. Round Eyes: The effect of round eyes can be altered by applying excessive eyeliner to the bottom rim of the eye.

Solution: Draw out a soft wing from the inner corner of the eye to a thicker slender wing at the outer corner to elongate the shape and balance the shape of the eyes.

3. Monolids: Due to the flat eye surface, eyeliner always risks smudging or running out when drawing on monoids.

Solution: Apply liner and a fine line with waterproof eyeliner. 

Quick Ways to Fix Mistakes:

If some lines appear uneven or get smudged, consider a piece of a Q-Tip with one pointed end soaked in some makeup remover that can redo the edges. This will help to form a complete and well-groomed look.

Conclusion:

Selecting the right eyeliner for different eye shapes and styles is essential for enhancing your overall look. At Eshaistic, we encourage you to experiment with various techniques and products to discover what works best for you, allowing your eyes to shine with confidence and beauty.
