Eye Shadow Tutorial: Prominent Eyes

Women with prominent eyes are lucky- they have a lot of space to get creative with eye color! They can also use bold, dark colors without fear of over-powering their eyes! To enhance large eye without making them look bigger, matte shadows are best suited for this task. Here’s how!

 Applying Eye Makeup for Prominent Eyes

1. Apply a medium neutral shadow over the entire eye.
2. Apply a darker neutral shadow over the entire eyelid from lashes to the crease. Blend upward and outward to brow bone. Avoid shimmery or frosted shadows.
3. Apply darkest neutral shadow over mobile lid and extend down under eye.
4. Line eyes with corrdinating liner on top and bottom. Smudge to soften.

Since prominent eyes need to use more than two colors to create the effect you want, I recommend purchasing an eye shadow trio or a quad! Lancome, Jane Iredale, Dior, Sephora and Dolce and Gabanna make some great color options!

Hollywood hotties Madonna, Bette Davis and Angelina Jolie are great examples of  prominent eyes!
