I like to call it the pop-eye because it seems to pop out at you, but the shape is more properly referred to as the protruding lid, or less properly as deep-set. It’s a seemingly complicated but actually very simple eye shape to play with. Many think that adding a shadow to the protruding eye will make it stand out more, but as long as it’s a medium to deep shadow, it’ll actually recede the lid and help the eyeball itself stand out more. Here’s the how-to:

1. Apply a medium to deep matte shadow over the entire protruding lid. Anything smoky like grays, browns, burgundies, etc. work especially well.

2. Line the eyes, top and bottom depending on what you like. If you have a lower lid that protrudes as well you should definitely line bottom too. Use a creamy liner that easily blends into the shadow.

3. Apply a slightly darker shadow along the crease, blending it just above the brow bone. This will help diminish that hard brow bone appearance.

4. And lastly, never use anything but a fleshy or neutral highlight. You could even pass on the highlight if you’re over it. Now doesn’t she look gorgeous? Don’t forget mascara!
