1. Hooded eyes.
Hooded eyes mean that you have a fold of small skin hanging over the socket line of the eyes. You might have born with this or in time and with aging you just get it, as the skin loses its elasticity. To correct this you can apply a very light eye shadow on your inner corners of the eyes and on the brow bone then a dark eye shadow on the hooded area. Line the upper lash line the classic way.

When you have round eyes and you want to make them look more elongated, almond shaped, the best solution is the cat-eye. Use light eyeshadow on your lid and dark one across the lash line and extend it to the outer corners.

3. Eyes that are set forward.
If you add eyeshadow on the entire eyelid and extend it to the upper corners you can correct this type of eyes and make them more balanced looking. Highlighting should be done only under the brow.

4. Small eyes.
If you have small eyes and you want to make them look bigger and larger you have to use light and pastel eyeshadows and some medium toned ones on the eyelids. Don’t use dark eyeshadows as they will make them look even smaller. Light colors will make them look more open and bright.
