- Hi, I'm Jeffrey Paul, celebrity makeup artist and today I'm going to show you how to apply makeup for different eye types. All eyes have different shapes, some are larger, some are closer set, some are further apart. With eyes, you want to define them and make them look the best they can. Highlighting and contouring an eye is a way to show the different shapes, to correct a shape or to enhance what you already have. With Kate her eyes are large. You might think they might be deep set or well defined but you could still define them more. The space that she has going from the lashes to the brow, it's a great big space. We can define that more or highlight it. She's actually the optimal case of what you might have but say for instance if the fold was a little bit larger, what's going to make that not seem as prominent, would be a darker color. If the lid was less noticeable, what would make that more noticeable would be a lighter color. So it's all in how you change the proportions by using eye shadows that are lighter and darker by framing the eye. Today, I'll be using Maybelline Eye Studio Color Plush. You can see with the colors there's four shades. Theory is light colors will make things seem larger, the darker ones will define and create more shape. For Kate I'm going to use a light color on the lid, maybe under the brow. This tone is a really pretty tone. You can see that it goes well with her complexion. It looks like the blush that's in her face. This gray or taupy tone will add definition and more shape to her eye while the darkest color can also add shape but also can define the eye. This one we used as a liner. This is a shadow, a base and a highlighter. Again highlighters bring things forward while darker colors make them recede, creates more shape and definition. I like to prime the eyelids first with a little bit of foundation or concealer that lets the shadows stick, stay longer and intensifies the color. With the color plush you can also use them wet if you really want to intensify the color have the sparkle or shine that's in the shadow really pop out. I'm going to start with this middle one. This is going to be my highlighter color. This is more like a rose or a peach tone. This will be my eye shadow all over the lid. It will be the base color for her lid. Now that the eyelid has a little bit of foundation it's a little moist so the shadow that I apply is going to adhere, stick and you can see the color popping out, becoming brighter and a little bit more intense. The moistness of the eyelid also gives a shine to the shadow and you can see this color would be, if this was a one step deal, this color would be really great in just framing the eye when she opens her eye you'll see how blue they're going to be. That's a pretty day look or a one shadow look if you just wanted to start in a slower approach. Just to show you my theory where lights bring things forward and darker make things set back, I'm going to add the lightest color right by the brow and you can see that this color next to the rose or coral type of color on the eyelid, one is going to frame the other, one is going to set the other one off. You can see that this is actually a light color but next to the other color it seems darker and it's framing the eye but the shine in the eye shadow is making it come forward and the light under the brow is also making that come forward. You can see that's already two steps in making her eyes seem bigger larger and a good eye shadow for her coloring. You can see that with Kate's eyes the color that's on the lid, it's like a peach or a coral that has a little bit of yellow and orange in it, that's the opposite of blue so it's actually enhancing the blue in her eyes, making the blue seem deeper and richer. The third color, it's this taupe. I'm going to use this on the tip of this brush. This is going to define the eye, creating more shape and definition. You can see that in defining eye shapes Kate already has a well defined crease or brow bone. Say for instance, you didn't, this would be a great area in which you'd want to apply a deeper shadow to define that area. The outer corner sometimes is not defined and you can add a little bit of dark shadow there too. You can see that I'm just working the color into the outer corner. Also, when you're doing cat eyes or smoky eyes defining the outer corner creates more shape and elongates the eyes giving them more of an almond or long shape if you are blending it more towards the ear. With the same color I'm going to go right next to the lashes creating more definition along the lash line. This is a great subtle look but it's nice for an everyday look, something you can wear all the time and it's great for Kate's eyes because it really defines her eyes making them pop, making them bigger, and great for her eye shape. The last color, the deepest color is going to create a lot of definition and dimension. I'm going to use this in the outer corner and a little bit into the lash line creating more definition next to the lashes and also more of an outside emphasis. This is adding more dimension to the other two colors on the eyelid and creating a strong definition between the brow bone and the crease. You can see that this will just create more definition and drama to her eyes. Also the brown color is also giving a lot more richness to the blue in her eye. So I've finished off both of Kate's eyes with black mascara. This is creating more definition and shape to her eyes so also with mascara, it's making the eyes seem larger and bigger. With Kate's eye shape she really didn't have anything to correct but what we did do was we highlighted the lid with a shimmery peach color. The peach looked like her skin tone but the shimmer made it look lighter and brighter making the lid look larger. The taupe color in the socket or in the crease defined the eye. That's creating more shape, that's really great for an eye that has more of a fold. The darkest color was added in the outside corner. That's great for eyes that you want to accentuate, make them longer and also make them more of a cat eye or a smoky eye. Basically, all of your techniques are light will make things larger and bring things forward. Any color is good as long as it makes your eyes pop and go with your skin and your hair. There you go, that's how you apply makeup to different eye types. I'm Jeffrey Paul. Thank you for watching.
