Tutorial: Makeup For Different Eye Crease Types (part 2) - diagrams and models!

This video will show 1 flattering makeup technique for each of the 3 eye types:
- Deep-Set Eyes (high crease)
- Hooded Eyelid
- Monolid

This video will demonstrate that your makeup application should be adapted to best enhance your natural eyelid type / crease placement. What works for one person may, or may not, work for another person.

On all 3 models, I used the same eyeshadow colours:
1. Beige / gold / cream (light colour)
2. Medium brown (medium darkness colour)
3. Charcoal (dark colour)

Side-note for hooded lids and monolids:
A common challenge for these eye types is for eyeshadow and eyeliner to transfer from one part of the eyelid to another, due to the severity of the fold. A couple things can help you avoid this:
1. Use an eyeshadow primer to prevent your eyeshadow/eyeliner from transferring
2. Use a longer-lasting eyeliner that isn't as prone to transferring (try liquid!)
3. Set your eyeliner with eyeshadow

Great vid! What about the ones who have eyelid types between deep set and hooded lids? lol i'm one of them!

[ericaleung13]

@feribz You have an eyelid type that I'll call...the "standard lid" (lol, for lack of terminology). I will discuss this eyelid type in a later video, or else this video would become much too long!

Excellent video!!!! Please do more in this style maybe blush and/or bronzer for face shapes. This was so good, loved it!

[ericaleung13]

@DrugstoreDiva Great idea, and thanks for the request! I'll put it on the list for future videos...but just keep in mind, these types of videos take a long time to plan, film, edit, and post!! But hopefully I will be able to get to it in the new year :)

I have the same kind of eyes or eyelids that the first model has, but my eyebrows are very low, so I kinda dont have a browbone.. or ofcourse I have but I cant 'use' it when Im doing my makeup. Ive tried to pluck and wax my eyebrows, like under or the lowest part, if you know what I mean, but they still are very low.. Any ideas to what I can do? xD By the way SOOOO helpful video, this AND the different eye types! Keep up the good work, and you are also very pretty!<3

My left eye is a deep set crease & the right is a..i dont even think its a hooded. My eyelid just goes inside my socket but still is as small as the hooded when it comes to putting on makeup. Is there anyone else that can point me to a video that helps uneven creases like mine?

[Fruniefryyeah]

The second girls eyebrows were really uneven
