There are about three shapes of eyelids to consider: prominent eyelids, hooded eyelids and deep-set eyelids. Look at yourself in the mirror and analyze the shape of your eyelid. Is it prominent, hooded or deep-set?
If you have prominent eyelids, your goal is to have smaller and thinner-looking eyelids. You can achieve this look by using eyeshadow on the eyelid and along the crease above the eye. Never use a light shade on the eyelid as this will tend to highlight the eyelid even further. Instead, highlight only the area just below the eyebrow.
If your eyelid shape is somewhat hooded, you must create an impression that there actually exists an eyelid. For this particular shape, a highlighter on the eyelid itself will give the illusion of a larger eyelid. Only the crease of the eye should be shaded, blending the eyeshadow outwards until it joins with the corner of the eye.
If you have deep-set eyes, consider yourself lucky. You can practically do either way of the techniques already mentioned with a pair of deep-set eyes. You may either use a light shade on the eyelid or use a dark shade on it. Whatever you decide on, your eyes will still be a sure winner.
