How To: Makeup For Prominent Eyelids

Kristen von Riesen - Pure Anada Makeup Artist

Next up on my eye makeup series is makeup for prominent eyelids. This will also feature tips for deep set eyes. Those two types of eyes often go together, so I will address both in this blog.

I am often envious of these eyes, as I have hooded eyes and I have to contour the crap out of my eyes to give them dimension! Every eye shape has its own beauty and benefits, and every shape has its difficulties!

What are prominent eyelids? Prominent lids are when your moving eyelid (the top eyelid that sits on your eyeball) is the largest lid. Prominent eyelids are basically the opposite of hooded eyes, where the upper eyelid right under the eyebrow is the largest lid.

What are deep set eyes? Deep set eyes have a deep prominent crease, and if makeup is applied incorrectly, the eyes can appear to be quite hollow. If applied well, deep set eyes are the envy of all!

Makeup Tips for Prominent Lids and Deep Set Eyes:

- A dark colour along the entire crease will make the eyes look hollow and even more deep set, so that should be avoided. Your natural crease is prominent and deep, so it is an unnecessary step to add a deep shade to it, especially the inner crease.
- A light colour on the eyelids has the potential to make the eyes look bulging, so keep the lid colour medium to deep.
- A thick smudged line of eyeliner is super flattering on this eye shape.
