Eye Makeup Looks: Close Set Eyes
Finding eye makeup inspiration from your favorite celebs can be futile unless your fav celeb has the same eye shape as you. I’ve scanned the internet for images and have grouped them together so you have a source for eye makeup looks for your eye shape.
You’ll know you have close set eyes if there is less than one eye’s width in between both eyes. You can find additional tips on makeup for this eye shape at Eye Makeup Looks: Brown and Purple and All About Eyes Part 2.
Ginnifer Goodwin is a great close-set eyed beauty who plays around with many different eyeshadow combinations. Check out some of her gorgeous eye makeup looks.
P.S. Don’t focus so much on Ginnifer’s complexion but more on her eye shape as inspiration. These eye makeup looks will look great on all skin tones with close-set eyes. Also, with just these few pictures you can get an idea of where you should place certain colors on close-set eyes and create dozens of additional eye looks!
Quick Close Set Eye tips:
1. Create some space in between the brows to help balance out the eyes. Don’t go overboard–check out Get Beautiful Brows for eyebrow tips.
2. Never “close” your eyeliner in the inner corners of the eyes when using dark liner. This will make the eyes appear even more close set. Instead, use light colors in the inner corners of the eyes to create some visual space.
