MEDIUM SHADOW & CONTOUR APPLICATION


This step starts with a color that doesn’t need to be blended to deepen the lid. Next, a deeper color is layered as a contour.


Contouring for Eyes


These tips can help change the look of your eyes, making them stand out or correcting a full, puffy eyelid.


Deep-set eyes need to be brought out with light and medium to deep medium shades of shadow. Colors that are too dark recede and will make the eyes look even
more deep set.


Wide-set eyes will appear closer together with a sweep of shadow one to two shades darker than the foundation tone at the inner corner of the eye. When applying
liner, thicken the line a bit at the inner corner, and do not extend it past the outer corner of the eye.


To make eyes look bigger, line your eyes all the way around.


To make eyes look more oval, top and bottom liner should meet at the outer corners. Then contour shadow from the lash line along the eyeliner outward and into
the crease.


To make large eyes look smaller, use a soft shadow color as a liner at the lower lash line. The shadow should be several shades lighter than the top liner.


To make eyes look less puffy, apply contour shadow at the outer corners and blend it as you move in toward the nose.
