How to Apply Eyeliner for Your Eye Shape

Eyeliner can either make or break your look. It also happens to be one of the hardest make-up techniques to master. It all starts with getting to know your eye shape and—of course—a great eyeliner. We love Savvy Minerals Eyeliner because of its rich colour, versatility and all-day wear. Use it along with this handy compilation of our top eyeliner tips to make your eyes appear bigger, brighter and bolder.

Almond eyes

Beginning at the inner corner, apply a thin line, gradually making the line thicker toward the outer corner. A winged liner (when the liner extends beyond the eyelid’s outer corner) would also complement your eye shape.

Round eyes

Line the outer edge of your upper lash line or go for a classic winged liner look.

Small eyes

Use white or nude liner on your waterline and play with a thin cat eye to make your eyes appear larger. Avoid applying dark eyeliner to your bottom waterline.

Big eyes

Line both your top and bottom waterline or just to top; either will look great! A winged liner or cat eye will add an extra element of fun.

Close-set eyes

Starting at the inner corner of your iris, apply a thin line to the waterline, gradually making it thicker as it approaches the outer corner of the eye. Extend the line slightly past your lash line.

Wide-set eyes

Begin the line at your tear duct and don’t extend past the outer corner of the eye.

Monolid eyes

Start with a thin line at the inner corner of your top lid and make it thicker as you go along. Hooded eyes Similar to the monolid eye shape, with hooded eyes you apply liner as close as you can to the waterline, beginning at the inner corner. Make the line thicker as it approaches the outer corner.
