Professional Eyeshadow Hacks for Round Eyes

Eyeshadow application on round eyes can get challenging due to its shape. Fret not, here is a simple eyeshadow application guide that will teach you how to correctly apply eyeshadow for round eyes. When you have round eyes, a vast portion of the white part of your eye can be seen around the pupils. So you can choose to give it dimension with different eyeshadow shades which will further accentuate and dramatize your eyes accordingly. Here are some eyeshadow application step by step guide as well as hacks for round eye shape.

  • Focus on the top lash line and the outer corners of your eyes. This will extend them up and make your eyes appear wider.
  • Use an eyelid primer first in gentle circular motions this will help the eyeshadow pigments cling to your eye for long hours. Apply this primer all over your top eyelids and cover the area between your eyebrows and upper eyelids as well.
  • Work on creating a beautiful gradient if you want your round eyes to not look sunken, but appear longer. Put on a light shade of eyeshadow near the inner corners of your eyes and gradually deepen the shade as you move towards the outer part. Dark shades of eyeshadow tend to make round eyes look more sophisticated.
  • If you intend to bask in the beauty of your pretty round eyes and complement that shape, simply define your upper lash line in a dark color and use a nice, bright, colorful eyeshadow on your eyelids to create a stunning look. Draw attention to the center of your eyelids.
  • Extend your eyeshadow in an angular shape if you are looking to consciously steer clear of those ‘cute eyes’ that is most associated with the round shape, and intend to go for a glam and intense look.
  • Keep the makeup on the bottom lash line negligible. Go nude, or use an eyeshadow color that is a few shades lighter than the one selected for your top eyelid.
  • Use your preferred (pencil or liquid) eyeliner to effectively enhance the intense effect you are creating. Draw focus to the outer corners of your eyes, apply thin liner to that part to make them appear elongated. If you are choosing a winged eyeliner look, make sure the wing is turned upward, otherwise, your round eyes will appear droopy.
  • While trimming your eyebrows, add a slight arch to them, this can help complement your round eyes.
  • And finally, long, curled eyelashes would ideally complete the dramatic effect and make your round eyes pop out. With slow, gentle movements, comb your upper lashes outward with a light mascara and the bottom ones with a darker shade of mascara. Make sure you separate your lashes as you move the brush from the base towards the top of your eyelashes, and from the inside towards the outside on the lower ones.
