Elongating Round Eyes with Eyeshadow

Pin It
In my last post which was awhile back (I do apologize), I showed you how to make round eyes look elongated with eyeliner.  In this one I show how to elongate them with eyeshadow.  I chose a basic medium brown eyeshadow about 2 to 3 shades darker than the skintone.  Now, you may be wondering why I don't choose flamboyant colors like many tutorials out there.  Well, creating the illusion of elongation and making it look as natural as possible is a lot harder than just applying beautiful colors.  Case in point, check out your favorite shows and look at the men.  (Yep, they are wearing eyeshadow to make their eyes look elongated or bigger, yet it looks natural.)  Once you understand how, then what you do to experiment is your artistry.
