I have round, upturned eyes and yes to emphasizing the lower outer eye! I always watch Korean/Japanese beauty videos and their style of makeup always suits my eyes! I don’t like doing western, cat eye/bold eye looks with big lashes. I rather embrace my own ingenue face and enhance it!
Cat eyes enhance upturned eyes and sharpness in the face. If you don't have any sharpness in your face or you don't want to enhance the sharpness of your face a cat eye can look off
Your videos are always so accurate and helpful. I have round eyes that are somewhat hooded, but not really up or downturned. I'm 52, and as I get older, my eyes are more hooded than they used to be. I didn't even know they were hooded at all most of my life. I just knew I didn't have a lot of lid space and there wasn't much distance from my lashes to my eyebrows. I always wore a lot of eye makeup with eyeliner and it looked good, but the older I get, I find that I look much better without so much eye makeup. Anyway, your tips are very helpful!
Once again you've managed to break down a lot of information with your usual compact, interesting and well illustrated videos. There's so much content out there that doesn't explain what will actually work with your own unique looks so this is a service to those fascinated by differences. Thank you!
Agree! I am 55yo Filipina and have almond shape with hooded eyes (due to fold, not deep socket/brow bone) , downturned , with minimal lid space. This trifecta makes applying eye makeup a challenge.
Love this video! Finally someone who does not exclude the eyebrows. My eyebrows are quite close to my eyes, so make-up tutorials about 'hooded eyes' never seemed to work for me, because they place eyeshadow above the moving eyelid. I simply do not have that much space. That being said, I do wear eyeshadow every now and then, even though you don't see that much of it, when I'm looking straight ahead of me, but if you talk, you also blink, raise your eyebrows, etc... so then, you do see it. I don't think it's that important for eyeshadow to be seen at all times, since you will always see at least a part of it, as you talk.
I think that eyelash length can also affect how big or small your eyes look. I have small eyes with looong invisible/blonde lashes, but when I wear mascara or even dye my lashes dark, my eyes look big even though the actual eyes are quite small.
Interesting I think it’s because the length of the lashes drifts the focus up and out which makes it seem bigger. Just like how if your lashes are longer in the middle it gives you rounder and bigger eye look compared to lashes that are long at the outer corners.
You're brilliant! I love the specificity of your diagrams, explanations, and examples. I get really confused by a lot of vagueness in beauty talk, but you manage to help me grasp what others could not. For instance, the almond vs round shapes of eyes... I was never certain what I was looking at when having it pointed out to me. Thank you, Jenn. Also, do you have any tips for someone who is never really sure if her makeup is "too much"? I get confused by what I believe I look like vs what I look like under different lighting, or in pictures , etc. It always feels like its either "I don't know how I thought I could get away with that look!" or "No one's going to believe I spent even 30 minutes on my face" when I see myself after applying makeup. LOL. LOVE your work!! Thanks!!!
You're so welcome - I'm glad you found the video helpful! As for the "right" amount of makeup - I think it's also highly dependent on your personal preference and how you see yourself. My personal preference always sides with the "less is more" mentality, but for certain occasions where photos are taken, I always think "I don't even look like I'm wearing makeup - maybe I should have done more?" So it depends on preference, occasion, etc. I think the most important thing though is how the makeup makes you feel in real life, and not in photos. The confidence that it brings when you look into the mirror is so much more powerful than how "good" or "bad" I look in photos imo. Hope that helps! ❤️
Thank you so much for this!!! This totally explains why all the advice for almond-shaped eyes never really seemed to work for me. Your videos are so unique and really speak to the audience as individuals. 🌹🥰❤️
Would you mind doing a video expanding on what “visual weight” is? I’d love to learn more about that and see some examples. Thank you for the great video as usual.
You're so welcome! I kind of touch on the topic in my bangs vs no bangs video, but I'll see if I can dedicate a video to solely talking about visual weight :) I also find Dear Peachie is a great informative channel so you should check it out!
You can have multiple shapes on one eye! I wish you would add this to the video. My waterline & lashline are very almond shaped, but my orbital bones / socket / crease line is incredibly round, like an owl. This means I have a substantial visible eyelid in the middle, which tapers to being very thin to completely hidden on my inner & outer corners. It has taken me a long time to understand and explain to others this eye shape. A lot of people just go with racial assumptions on how to do my makeup, and it looks bad. Applying eyeshadow is straightforward for me, but winged liner is challenging: do I follow what's pleasing for my lashline or my socket line? When I go with the conventional winged eyeliner advice, the line just sinks straight into my brow bone. When I use advice for hooded eyes to avoid my brow bone, the line looks at odds with my lashlines. I have a system that works, but I hope this distinction is helpful for others too!
Thank you for another great video Jenn! I’d love to hear your take on contouring. There are so many contradicting videos/tutorials out there and I firmly believe you’re the only one I would understand! ❤❤
This is so interesting. Faces are so weird! 😂 I have large almond shaped eyes that are slightly close set. However, my orbital bone is super round and prominent, so although I have good lid space, I cannot do winged liner, because my orbital bone is in the way. All eyes are so unique and different, and most "universal" eye makeup techniques aren't working for everyone, imo.
My Eyes: round, hooded, up turned, low to medium crease line, high brows, balanced distance…I feel like the weight on my face is kind of big because they are round and bright blue but they aren’t actually that “big” on my face. I feel like it’s kind of hard to do eye makeup because they’re somewhat hooded and low crease and round which is bad for eyeliner. But then high brow makes a lot of space possible 🤔
I love how you provide info but only present the range of options, noting that one formula doesn’t fit all. I have very hooded, almond eyes with straight corners and thin lids (also a milk chocolate coloring (red undertones)). Liners/shadows crease and smudge. My eyes are so almond that I had to learn an application technique for mascara so the upper/lower outer lashes didn’t tangle. I embrace the almond and the hood. I opted for liner & outer corner shadow tattoos (addresses the crease issue and allergies that made me tear up & smudge makeup regularly). I use a serum as a sealer & eye gloss to add a glam glow to my blue black, tattooed liner (subtly thinner line on outer top/bottom corner and soft black shadow. I found that using Anastasia’s champagne waterline pencil helps. I use it on the lower inner 3/4 of my waterline and to lightly shade the upper, inner corner of my eye (between crease and brow). It decreases the heavy, sagging look, while making the smoky hooded look pop. I use mascara and glossy sealer to highlight outer corner, not to look extra long/thick like falsies. I went with tattoo because this enhances and is not a trend, so there is no concern about changing. I am also older (late 50’s but wrinkle-free thanks to genes and decades of constant extra care for eczema) … I do what makes me happy.
Love how detailed and clear your explanations are. It makes way more sense that way than the diagrams you always see online. I also like that you use a holistic and accepting lens. I think that's very important as well. In your consultation with me it turned out a lot of eye make-up styles could work for me, including fun and artsy ones, which I very much like. Shame that I found out my eyes get very easily irritated (or plugged even...) especially with mascara and eyeliner/pencil (eyeshadow seems mostly fine). I am keeping my eyes open (hehe) for techniques and products that would be more gentle though and until then I can at least curl my lashes and maybe use a little bit of eyeshadow 😁 Excited for your unique content to come 🤗
My hoods, at my age, are almost obscuring the outer corners of my eyes, so inspired by Korean MUAs and aegyosal, I'm doing a much thicker line of shadow (always in muted and not-dark colors) UNDER my eyes, and then taking that line out almost horizontally, and blending it with a darker shadow on the outer half of my upper lids. It really has the effect of making my eyes look bigger, and slightly turned up. It's the craziest 'cat-eye' ever!
OK, now I know why people always ask me, whether I am sad or surprised. My eyes are on the rounder side, my iris is on the bigger size, my eyes aren't big but eather small, they are on a straight line. My crease is big and the distance between my lashes and my eyebrows are big and my eyebrows are round as well. My eyes give me a super surprised expression 😂.
10:42 Actually, i have portuding eyes, and my eyebrows are low set. Tysm for a detailed video about eye shapes bc looking at those eye charts and trying to figure out was tiring.
I've never understood the shape of my eyes, but i've been instinctively doing the right things. This was really interesting. I figured that i have upturned almond eyes, with large irises and distance to brows, semi-hooded and they are wide set. So i have a sexy look with high visual impact, but i need more makeup because of my coloring and heart shape face.
Just started watching the first 2 mins and am already excited! Thank you! So much of the "advice" out there is for, say...almond vs hooded vs deepset eyes..." like huh?! I have round, deepset eyes which itself is kinda an anomaly, because everyone thinks "round eyes" should always be protuding 😕
Just discovered your channel and I can’t stop watching your videos. Brilliant work. Can you do a video that is more dedicated for double chin? I know you mentioned it in some of your videos but a separated and detailed one may be helpful for us who have it. Great job again!
I actually have a video called "hairstyles for chubby faces" where I talk about double chin / jowly jawline and how weight loss affects your proportions, so you should check it out!
With my small deep set eyes, false lashes look great on me. I like a long, but not too thick, false lash. The ones with a clear band look softer. I avoid dark eyeshadow. It works for me!
Thanks you so much for these vids Jenn. You always take our suggestions to heart. Soon there's going too be too many comments to choose from (bc let's be honest we all know that's where this channel is going). No one is doing it like you we appreciate you!!!
Wonderful video, thank you so much. Really appreciated your personal anecdotes and the broader thought about working with the features we're given 💖 thank you
this is such a helpful video! all the existing charts really confused me because it seemed like you just had to be one or the other, when in reality most ppl have multiple traits! definitely will put your tips to use!
Love the video! Our eyes and how they appear change with age, weight loss and weight gain. As we age, the outer corners droop, causing eyes to look even more round. The best makeup artist/content creator for eye shapes, esp hooded and droopy eyes is Stephanie Lange. Added links to her channel in another comment.
@@stylerefinement definitely. RisaDoesMakeup is another creator on here that does great hooded eye, 40+, 50+, 60+ makeup and really shows the steps. Her style is a little more glam. Stephanie’s ‘dome shape application’ method can be done very simply or glammed up. I use it every day.
Dear Jen, thanks so much for your videos, they're amazing!!! I've been wondering, would you have any recommendations for: a) covering deep shadows around the eye area, for instance with deep set eyes, very light skin or very dark circles around the eyes? b) how to shorten the philtrum by using makeup, and how to bring out the Cupid's bow, and what effect which Cupid's bow shape has overall?? Thank you for your time and attention, and have a great and relaxing weekend!!!!
Hi Annett - thank you for the comment! I think with around the eyes it depends on the placement of the darkness, but I usually find that the skin around your eye area in general is thinner and more of your undertones show through, so I always try to color correct not just my under-eye dark circles, but also along the inner and outer corners as well and sometimes even onto the eyelid area. I find it helps with evening out the darkness and shadows overall. As for the philtrum, using a bit of contour in the cupid's bow area actually helps with making the philtrum appear shorter and your lips appear poutier as well, and it helps with accentuating the shape of your cupid's bow as well! I don't think that the shape of your cupid's bow has a huge effect on your facial proportions, but if it's a bit of an unusual shape it tends to draw more attention to the area in general. :) Hope that helps!
I'm just starting to learn more about Kibbe body types!! Really not well versed in it to talk about it, but some people have been asking for it so I'm researching :)
Everything you just said clikled for me. I, for as long as I can remember, have always struggled to determine my eye shape, as well as my face shape. I also am an artist that is very aware about how angles can make things look completely different as to how they truly are. In my case, the overall shape of my eye is an almod shape. However I always wondered why in pictures they suddenly looked rounder when they really weren’t. The thing is, I have naturally inmense irises, so depending on how wide I open my eyes or how slightly I turn my face they appear rounder. It’s just so confusing! I actually realised on the mirror that it doesn’t matter how wide I open my eyes, the iris will always touch the frame of my eyes. It’s insane. And very funny. I wonder how in the world can I put make up on them. I guess it only depends on the mood.
If you already have upturned almond shaped eyes, should you avoid cat eye makeup? What's the best makeup for that shape? Thanks for these great videos!
I think it depends on your preference! If you want to accentuate the upturned angle & the shape of your eyes more, then go for the cat eye. If you want a more rounded shape and look to your eyes, then avoid the cat eye :)
Thanks to you i now understand better why my eyes look droopy even though the line from my inner corner to my outer is very straight: because my upper lid's highest point is closer to the inner corner!! Very informative video, thank you Jenn!
The hardest Thing I find for me? Is my eyes seem to mix the puppy vs Cat look. Are closet set together- deep in my face- squish-face syndrome I call it. I have no idea how to make my eyes pop. Hooded lids. Like everything that can make putting make up a challenge. Confusing hard. This video helps me but also leaves me wondering what the heck to do with my type of eyes. :) I’m all over hte place with the shape/ length/ everything. Lol Good ideas to help me start investigating for sure! Great videos!
Glad you liked the video! I know we're always told to make our eyes pop more, but there are also faces that can benefit from doing less with eye makeup :) I have a video called "Here's why you don't like wearing bold makeup" where I talk a lot about eyes, so you should check it out! ❤
A long time ago I was told I look like Audrey tautou or, “the girl from Amelie” I’m just realizing that it’s because she has the exact same eye shape as me 😮😊
in my case: round, hooded, slighlty upturned, deep set, narrow creaseline, eyebrows not too close to the eyes but also not a lot of space in between I am never using eyeliner only mascara and I am powdering the light gaps in my eyebrows (with a matching colour of course). Eyeshadow only on special occasions just like weddings etc. but only light/bright shiny colours. It will not stay for long anyways (no matter what foundation) because of oily upper eyelids🙄 I would really love to wear the bold smokey eyes but it's just not made for my eyes. At least it's fun to do the smokey eye look on friends eyes 🖌️💄💅
I have large rounded eyes but mine are more horizontally wide ,although I do have a very feminine soft look ,I have a more mature look about me. I thought that was due to that I have upturned eyes , high cheekbones and a curvy figure.
2:11 Right mine are round eyes with hood, slightly deep set, slightly close set, and upturned. But because I have big hood when I relax my eyes they look almond rather than round but when my eyes aren’t relaxed they look round. It’s complicated 😢 1) my width is longer but at the same time almost the same height as it is long. My eyes aren’t that long. It’s mixed 2) my outer corners are upturned but because I have (fat)hooded eyes, my eyes look straight (at the same level) 7:25 3) my lids disappears when my eyes relax. I just have fat eyes 😂 4) I have short eye-lid distance but average-enough space from eyes to brows 5) They are medium-big but I feel like my nose is more protruding which takes away the attention. So this one has me confused. I am trying to find my style
yes i always thought my eyes were downturned and assummed it was my outer corner was lowrr than my inner. I only realised very recently that my outer corner is higher up than the inner corner and was trying to i figure out why do my eyes have the illusion of being turned down even though its physically the opposite. I saw that the highest point of my upper eyrlid is close to my nose and it slopes down fron there and it had to be that and his video confirms that. But i hvnt really analysed my lower lid at all so i dwefintell gotta do that 😂.
Mine are hooded, close set, and deep set, and now that I’m older, they look more sunken. I don’t draw attention to them esp as I have allergies. I love the Asian standards of beauty, but alas, I’m white AF 😂
I have downturned, deep set eyes that occasionally look hooded (when I fall asleep on one side my face (eyes and eyebrows) gets stuck in until I move them like with my hands My eyes are more rounded and especially since i naturally have thick and dark eyes at the bottom of my eyelids (I think that’s what it’s called) I have dark brown eyes and I’ve been told by a “specialist” that I have close set eyes, however I don’t believe that I usually always trust specialists but my eyes aren’t close? If anything they’re slightly wide apart I think they possibly got confused by my very wide head (i have a round/diamond face (the only reason I don’t think I have a diamond is because my jawline isn’t that sharp, its only sharp if I smile a certain way, which is why I think I’m more round also bc of my cheeks they’re quite round)) But overall my eye distance is average my eyes CAN sometimes seem sharp like pretty sharp but for the most part my eyes are more on the rounder side they kinda look like 2:53 mostly the one w brown eye except my eyes are more bottom heavy and very droopy and my eyebrows aren’t as lifted Tbf they kinda both look like my eyes except The first ones epicanthic fold and lacrime punctum doesn’t look like mine and the other one does but the rest of the eye pretty much looks exactly like mine (minus the green eye and yk my eyes r downturned and also I don’t wear makeup) But these does look like mine a lil bit It’s probably cause im biracial But seriously it’s very hard to try and put makeup on I don’t use makeup at all but I have tried to edit photos just for fun to see and try different makeup styles And I literally can’t make the liner go up and I can’t make it go straight and I can’t even make it go down If I try and make the line go down my eyes r too downturned and it just looks like I cried or sneezed mid way while applying makeup ;-; It also drags the rest of my face down a lot I don’t rly have the strongest jawline and my cheeks r plumb and i pretty much look deprived of all joy hehe I find I look good w mascara but not eyeliner or anything that extends my eyes anyway Which kinda sucks cuz I have a wide face and liner in theory should make your face seem not as wide But atlas it’s ok I do look quite good and I can pull of both sexy and cute Due to the fact that my face can practically shape shift Especially since I have hair that gives a very “sliming” (not quite the word but you get it) that makes my face look More oval and less emoji like :D But yeah! That’s abt it lol
I feel like my eye shape is very similar to Audrey Tautoe’s eyes. Round and maybe even but with the highest point fairly close to the inside of the iris.
I have almond, downturned, protruding eyes. I’m in my 30s and I’m just now starting to really get into makeup and I have no idea of how to make them look good 😅
Guys I know that this question is out of topic but sometimes puffiness in my crease line..like sometimes I find it puffy as if it was stung?! And sometimes it's not in my crease line but it's directly below my eye. Did someone experience that?
What do I do if I have round… incredibly average eyes? My eyes are round, ok. They are “straight” (not up nor down turned), medium sized (not too big, not too small), and average spaced. There’s no “problem” for me to solve, I guess… but i suck at eye makeup regardless :\ I don’t have much lid space and they have a small hood, but nothing that would make them remarkable for that.
With someone with an eye shape like Audrey Tatou, how would you apply eye makeup the most flattering way? I realized i am doing a similar thing with my eyebrows as her, but I can never figure out why my eye makeup never looks quite right.
@@stylerefinement thank you for replying! I will try that when I do my makeup tonight. Love all of your videos they are so informative and I learn so much😊
Jenn I have noticed my middle third is the longest on me. How can I make it look more balanced? Is bold lipstick a good idea for this? (I also have a rather round chin).
Using face framing layers above the chin level (or just short hair in general) can help with that! A bold lipstick may draw more emphasis downwards and highlight your long middle third so I would advise against it generally, but I'd need to see your face to make an accurate recommendation :)
So interesting. I never noticed the pupil part - turns out I have very large pupils that make my eyes look bigger and rounder than they actually are! Go figure 👁️ 👁️

I use mascara and glossy sealer to highlight outer corner, not to look extra long/thick like falsies.
I went with tattoo because this enhances and is not a trend, so there is no concern about changing. I am also older (late 50’s but wrinkle-free thanks to genes and decades of constant extra care for eczema) … I do what makes me happy.
Love how detailed and clear your explanations are. It makes way more sense that way than the diagrams you always see online.
I also like that you use a holistic and accepting lens. I think that's very important as well.
In your consultation with me it turned out a lot of eye make-up styles could work for me, including fun and artsy ones, which I very much like.
Shame that I found out my eyes get very easily irritated (or plugged even...) especially with mascara and eyeliner/pencil (eyeshadow seems mostly fine).
I am keeping my eyes open (hehe) for techniques and products that would be more gentle though and until then I can at least curl my lashes and maybe use a little bit of eyeshadow 😁
Excited for your unique content to come 🤗
Aw thanks Charlotte!! I'll see what I can come up with for sensitive eyes! :D ❤❤❤
You helped me figure out that my eyes are round finally, 🎉 I still haven't figured out how to put on any make-up properly though😅
My hoods, at my age, are almost obscuring the outer corners of my eyes, so inspired by Korean MUAs and aegyosal, I'm doing a much thicker line of shadow (always in muted and not-dark colors) UNDER my eyes, and then taking that line out almost horizontally, and blending it with a darker shadow on the outer half of my upper lids. It really has the effect of making my eyes look bigger, and slightly turned up. It's the craziest 'cat-eye' ever!
Excellent video and the best explanation I have heard and I was able to figure out my eye shape.
My 3rd video of a new subscriber binge. 🤯
Welcome to the channel! ❤❤❤
OK, now I know why people always ask me, whether I am sad or surprised. My eyes are on the rounder side, my iris is on the bigger size, my eyes aren't big but eather small, they are on a straight line. My crease is big and the distance between my lashes and my eyebrows are big and my eyebrows are round as well. My eyes give me a super surprised expression 😂.
10:42 Actually, i have portuding eyes, and my eyebrows are low set. Tysm for a detailed video about eye shapes bc looking at those eye charts and trying to figure out was tiring.
Agreed - they're misleading and confusing indeed! I'm glad you liked the details :)
One of the best eye makeup videos I've seen! Love how you really analyze how to look at your own features and enhance or balance what you have.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video ❤❤❤
Really looking forward to what you have to say! I feel like my eyes are small and unremarkable.
Omg your the first person that’s really made me understand! Thankyou so much ❤❤❤ so many other people just lack the knowledge or over complicate it
I'm glad you found the video helpful! ❤
I've never understood the shape of my eyes, but i've been instinctively doing the right things. This was really interesting. I figured that i have upturned almond eyes, with large irises and distance to brows, semi-hooded and they are wide set. So i have a sexy look with high visual impact, but i need more makeup because of my coloring and heart shape face.
Amazing information - you're a genius at breaking it all down!!! Thank you 🙏❤
Aww thank you!! I'm glad you liked the video ❤️❤️❤️
Just started watching the first 2 mins and am already excited! Thank you! So much of the "advice" out there is for, say...almond vs hooded vs deepset eyes..." like huh?!
I have round, deepset eyes which itself is kinda an anomaly, because everyone thinks "round eyes" should always be protuding 😕
So true! Round doesn't have anything to do with the depth but much of the info out there is so misleading!
Just discovered your channel and I can’t stop watching your videos. Brilliant work. Can you do a video that is more dedicated for double chin? I know you mentioned it in some of your videos but a separated and detailed one may be helpful for us who have it. Great job again!
I actually have a video called "hairstyles for chubby faces" where I talk about double chin / jowly jawline and how weight loss affects your proportions, so you should check it out!
With my small deep set eyes, false lashes look great on me. I like a long, but not too thick, false lash. The ones with a clear band look softer. I avoid dark eyeshadow. It works for me!
Thanks you so much for these vids Jenn. You always take our suggestions to heart. Soon there's going too be too many comments to choose from (bc let's be honest we all know that's where this channel is going). No one is doing it like you we appreciate you!!!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment Juliet ❤️❤️❤️ I feel like I have so much to live up to now and I gotta make sure I don't let y'all down haha!
Wonderful video, thank you so much. Really appreciated your personal anecdotes and the broader thought about working with the features we're given 💖 thank you
I'm glad you liked my stories ❤️❤️❤️
Ok but you look really good
Thank you so much love!!
this is such a helpful video! all the existing charts really confused me because it seemed like you just had to be one or the other, when in reality most ppl have multiple traits! definitely will put your tips to use!
I'm glad you found the video helpful!!
Thanks a lot! Your videos are so on point. I am happy for you to see your channel growing.
You are one of my OG subs from the very beginning and I'll always remember ❤️❤️❤️
Jenn we love your authenticity and resourcefulness.
Thanks sis 💕
You are so welcome! Thanks for the lovely comment ❤️❤️❤️
This was super helpful. Question: Can you talk about size in a video sometime? Or specifically go over "visual weight"
Someone else suggested visual weight as a topic as well! Added to my list ❤️
Love the video! Our eyes and how they appear change with age, weight loss and weight gain.
As we age, the outer corners droop, causing eyes to look even more round.
The best makeup artist/content creator for eye shapes, esp hooded and droopy eyes is Stephanie Lange. Added links to her channel in another comment.
Thank you! I'm subscribed to Stephanie Lange but I like her more recent videos about body positivity ❤️ I should check out her older stuff!
@@stylerefinement definitely. RisaDoesMakeup is another creator on here that does great hooded eye, 40+, 50+, 60+ makeup and really shows the steps. Her style is a little more glam. Stephanie’s ‘dome shape application’ method can be done very simply or glammed up. I use it every day.
Could you please make a video about protruding eyes and how to manage the shadows around them when applying makeup?
Dear Jen, thanks so much for your videos, they're amazing!!!
I've been wondering, would you have any recommendations for:
a) covering deep shadows around the eye area, for instance with deep set eyes, very light skin or very dark circles around the eyes?
b) how to shorten the philtrum by using makeup, and how to bring out the Cupid's bow, and what effect which Cupid's bow shape has overall??
Thank you for your time and attention, and have a great and relaxing weekend!!!!
Hi Annett - thank you for the comment!
I think with around the eyes it depends on the placement of the darkness, but I usually find that the skin around your eye area in general is thinner and more of your undertones show through, so I always try to color correct not just my under-eye dark circles, but also along the inner and outer corners as well and sometimes even onto the eyelid area. I find it helps with evening out the darkness and shadows overall.
As for the philtrum, using a bit of contour in the cupid's bow area actually helps with making the philtrum appear shorter and your lips appear poutier as well, and it helps with accentuating the shape of your cupid's bow as well! I don't think that the shape of your cupid's bow has a huge effect on your facial proportions, but if it's a bit of an unusual shape it tends to draw more attention to the area in general. :) Hope that helps!
Great video. I learnt something from it! I only couldn't figure out the up turn and down turn features
I'm glad you found the video informative!
This has been sooo helpful! Thank you
Hi Jen, I ❤your channel. I’m 50 and would really love some more content for mature women, rosacea heavier faces etc. Thank you so much 🥰
Thanks for the suggestion and comment! ❤️
This was extremely informative. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the series! ♥
Could you make some videos about the kibbe body type ? :)
I'm just starting to learn more about Kibbe body types!! Really not well versed in it to talk about it, but some people have been asking for it so I'm researching :)
Very practical and helpful!!
I'm glad you think so!
Everything you just said clikled for me. I, for as long as I can remember, have always struggled to determine my eye shape, as well as my face shape. I also am an artist that is very aware about how angles can make things look completely different as to how they truly are. In my case, the overall shape of my eye is an almod shape. However I always wondered why in pictures they suddenly looked rounder when they really weren’t. The thing is, I have naturally inmense irises, so depending on how wide I open my eyes or how slightly I turn my face they appear rounder. It’s just so confusing! I actually realised on the mirror that it doesn’t matter how wide I open my eyes, the iris will always touch the frame of my eyes. It’s insane. And very funny. I wonder how in the world can I put make up on them. I guess it only depends on the mood.
If you already have upturned almond shaped eyes, should you avoid cat eye makeup? What's the best makeup for that shape? Thanks for these great videos!
I think it depends on your preference! If you want to accentuate the upturned angle & the shape of your eyes more, then go for the cat eye. If you want a more rounded shape and look to your eyes, then avoid the cat eye :)
Thanks to you i now understand better why my eyes look droopy even though the line from my inner corner to my outer is very straight: because my upper lid's highest point is closer to the inner corner!! Very informative video, thank you Jenn!
You are so welcome! I'm glad the video was able to provide some clarity for you ❤️
Thank you. You have made it clear once and for all. ❤
I'm glad you liked the video! ❤
This was so helpful and informative, Jenn! Thank you!
I'm glad you found the video helpful - you're welcome! :D
The hardest Thing I find for me? Is my eyes seem to mix the puppy vs Cat look. Are closet set together- deep in my face- squish-face syndrome I call it. I have no idea how to make my eyes pop. Hooded lids. Like everything that can make putting make up a challenge. Confusing hard. This video helps me but also leaves me wondering what the heck to do with my type of eyes. :) I’m all over hte place with the shape/ length/ everything. Lol
Good ideas to help me start investigating for sure! Great videos!
Glad you liked the video! I know we're always told to make our eyes pop more, but there are also faces that can benefit from doing less with eye makeup :) I have a video called "Here's why you don't like wearing bold makeup" where I talk a lot about eyes, so you should check it out! ❤
A long time ago I was told I look like Audrey tautou or, “the girl from Amelie” I’m just realizing that it’s because she has the exact same eye shape as me 😮😊
Thank you, this video is great
in my case: round, hooded, slighlty upturned, deep set, narrow creaseline, eyebrows not too close to the eyes but also not a lot of space in between
I am never using eyeliner only mascara and I am powdering the light gaps in my eyebrows (with a matching colour of course).
Eyeshadow only on special occasions just like weddings etc. but only light/bright shiny colours. It will not stay for long anyways (no matter what foundation) because of oily upper eyelids🙄
I would really love to wear the bold smokey eyes but it's just not made for my eyes.
At least it's fun to do the smokey eye look on friends eyes
🖌️💄💅
I have large rounded eyes but mine are more horizontally wide ,although I do have a very feminine soft look ,I have a more mature look about me. I thought that was due to that I have upturned eyes , high cheekbones and a curvy figure.
Thank you for the information. It was very well given.
You are welcome! ❤
Very informative video thank you so much, finally founded my eyes type. Wow in 11:59 i thought those eyes were mine lol
Glad you found the video helpful! ❤️
I have deep set almond eyes with some upper eyelid fat (I think slightly upturned), it makes applying eyeliner difficult.
Can you cover asymmetrical eyes and other facial features? I need help with learning how to balance them with makeup.
I'm working on a video on asymmetry in the face :D
@@stylerefinement awesome! Thank you 😊
2:11 Right mine are round eyes with hood, slightly deep set, slightly close set, and upturned. But because I have big hood when I relax my eyes they look almond rather than round but when my eyes aren’t relaxed they look round. It’s complicated 😢
1) my width is longer but at the same time almost the same height as it is long. My eyes aren’t that long. It’s mixed
2) my outer corners are upturned but because I have (fat)hooded eyes, my eyes look straight (at the same level) 7:25
3) my lids disappears when my eyes relax. I just have fat eyes 😂
4) I have short eye-lid distance but average-enough space from eyes to brows
5) They are medium-big but I feel like my nose is more protruding which takes away the attention. So this one has me confused.
I am trying to find my style
Brilliant video 🎉
Thank you love! ❤️
I quite don't get it sometimes, when comparing both my eyes, Yes They're same almond but has different eyelids and a little different of size :D
yes i always thought my eyes were downturned and assummed it was my outer corner was lowrr than my inner. I only realised very recently that my outer corner is higher up than the inner corner and was trying to i figure out why do my eyes have the illusion of being turned down even though its physically the opposite. I saw that the highest point of my upper eyrlid is close to my nose and it slopes down fron there and it had to be that and his video confirms that. But i hvnt really analysed my lower lid at all so i dwefintell gotta do that 😂.
Mine are hooded, close set, and deep set, and now that I’m older, they look more sunken. I don’t draw attention to them esp as I have allergies. I love the Asian standards of beauty, but alas, I’m white AF 😂
I have a mixed between round and almond... large roundish almond eyes
I have downturned, deep set eyes that occasionally look hooded
(when I fall asleep on one side my face (eyes and eyebrows) gets stuck in until I move them like with my hands
My eyes are more rounded and especially since i naturally have thick and dark eyes at the bottom of my eyelids (I think that’s what it’s called)
I have dark brown eyes and I’ve been told by a “specialist” that I have close set eyes, however I don’t believe that
I usually always trust specialists but my eyes aren’t close? If anything they’re slightly wide apart
I think they possibly got confused by my very wide head
(i have a round/diamond face (the only reason I don’t think I have a diamond is because my jawline isn’t that sharp, its only sharp if I smile a certain way, which is why I think I’m more round also bc of my cheeks they’re quite round))
But overall my eye distance is average my eyes CAN sometimes seem sharp like pretty sharp but for the most part my eyes are more on the rounder side they kinda look like 2:53 mostly the one w brown eye except my eyes are more bottom heavy and very droopy and my eyebrows aren’t as lifted
Tbf they kinda both look like my eyes except
The first ones epicanthic fold and lacrime punctum doesn’t look like mine and the other one does but the rest of the eye pretty much looks exactly like mine (minus the green eye and yk my eyes r downturned and also I don’t wear makeup)
But these does look like mine a lil bit
It’s probably cause im biracial
But seriously it’s very hard to try and put makeup on I don’t use makeup at all but I have tried to edit photos just for fun to see and try different makeup styles
And I literally can’t make the liner go up and I can’t make it go straight and I can’t even make it go down
If I try and make the line go down my eyes r too downturned and it just looks like I cried or sneezed mid way while applying makeup ;-;
It also drags the rest of my face down a lot
I don’t rly have the strongest jawline and my cheeks r plumb and i pretty much look deprived of all joy hehe
I find I look good w mascara but not eyeliner or anything that extends my eyes anyway
Which kinda sucks cuz I have a wide face and liner in theory should make your face seem not as wide
But atlas it’s ok
I do look quite good and I can pull of both sexy and cute
Due to the fact that my face can practically shape shift
Especially since I have hair that gives a very “sliming” (not quite the word but you get it) that makes my face look
More oval and less emoji like :D
But yeah! That’s abt it lol
"the width is always longer than the vertical length" what did I hear 😂😂
I feel like my eye shape is very similar to Audrey Tautoe’s eyes. Round and maybe even but with the highest point fairly close to the inside of the iris.
Yes I remember your eyes being more open in the inner corners!
What to do when my eyes are neither upturned not downturned they're kind of in the middle you can say
I have :
Width
@@coffeeaddict243 thank you for the advice! 💗🫶
I have almond, downturned, protruding eyes. I’m in my 30s and I’m just now starting to really get into makeup and I have no idea of how to make them look good 😅
Guys I know that this question is out of topic but sometimes puffiness in my crease line..like sometimes I find it puffy as if it was stung?! And sometimes it's not in my crease line but it's directly below my eye. Did someone experience that?
Is "hunter eyes" an option?
What do I do if I have round… incredibly average eyes?
My eyes are round, ok. They are “straight” (not up nor down turned), medium sized (not too big, not too small), and average spaced.
There’s no “problem” for me to solve, I guess… but i suck at eye makeup regardless :\
I don’t have much lid space and they have a small hood, but nothing that would make them remarkable for that.
I have round close set eyes :')
I have round and slightly downturned eyes not hooded
I have round downturned large creased and protruding eyes....Now I need a tutorial....I don't know how to do it....
I like the longer videos
I'm glad to hear that! My next video is also gonna be a little bit of a longer one :)
Thank you! Agora entendi o que valoriza meus olhos :D
❤❤❤
With someone with an eye shape like Audrey Tatou, how would you apply eye makeup the most flattering way? I realized i am doing a similar thing with my eyebrows as her, but I can never figure out why my eye makeup never looks quite right.
You should focus on highlighting the upper outer corner of your lids to give your eyes more of a "lifting" effect!
@@stylerefinement thank you for replying! I will try that when I do my makeup tonight. Love all of your videos they are so informative and I learn so much😊
Jenn I have noticed my middle third is the longest on me. How can I make it look more balanced? Is bold lipstick a good idea for this? (I also have a rather round chin).
Using face framing layers above the chin level (or just short hair in general) can help with that! A bold lipstick may draw more emphasis downwards and highlight your long middle third so I would advise against it generally, but I'd need to see your face to make an accurate recommendation :)
@@stylerefinement thank you!
I have round and upturned eyes. I'm confused 😢
what matters more than the shape: to see. I'm a person that struggles to see things around me
Me understanding that I have one upturned one downturned eye: fuck what now
So interesting. I never noticed the pupil part - turns out I have very large pupils that make my eyes look bigger and rounder than they actually are! Go figure 👁️ 👁️
My eyes:
Width < length
Upturned
Close set
Less distance
There's fat on my uoper eyelids
I have strange and ugly eyes, can I show you my eyes and tell me the shape of my eyes? (sorry I use google translate)
I'm sure they're not ugly!
I have circular eyes
I have crease and eyelides touching down what type of eyeshape i have mam plsssssssssssssssssssssssss say
Hooded eyes?
