Eyeliner for Your Eye Shape. Eyeliner Styles for Different Eye Shapes.

Your eyes will literally look like the humble almond nut. When you look straight ahead, your iris disappears into your upper and lower eyelids.

"Most liner styles will work on this shape, but a nice technique is to follow the natural curve of your eye, building thickness toward the outer corner. Add a flick for a sleek look or smudge a pencil into the roots and along the waterline for a sultry look."

If you notice that your eyelid droops down over the crease when your eyes are open, you’re the proud owner of some hooded lids.

"Lid space tends to get lost when hooded eyes are open, so be careful not to use too much liner on the top lash line," says Soleimani, who recommends tight-lining the top lash with a dark gel or pencil liner and working it in between lashes, which allows your eyes to stand out without loosing lid space.

Those with down-sloping eyes can get seriously frustrated with the cat-eye. This is because the natural line of their eye means they have to flick up extra high in order to get that feline look.

"Focus on creating a lift at the outer corners and keeping the inner corner open and bright to draw the eyes upward," says Soleimani. Think thin, subtle wings and a dot of highlighter.

Round eyes are usually large and quite wide. If you can see white above or below your iris when you look straight ahead, you have round eyes.

"It's all about creating an elongated wide-eyed look. Extend your liner on the top outer third to create more of an almond shape. Do the same on the bottom, connecting the two lines. Or don't connect them for a cool double-winged effect."

Check out the gap between the inside corners of your eyes. Can you fit another eye in that space? If not, then you have close-set eyes.

You want to create the illusion that your eyes are wider apart, so "start the liner at the outer third and extend it outward, making sure it's at its thinnest in the inner corner," says Soleimani, who adds that "winged liner also looks great on this eye shape."

If the gap between the inner corners of your eyes is big enough to fit more than one eye, then you, my friend, have wide-set eyes.

Here, you want to create the illusion of eyes that are more symmetrical, so line the top lash line but don't extend past the outer corner—"extending or thickening the end will only draw your eyes further apart." Smudge pencil along the bottom for a night-out look.

Monolids are flat and barely have a crease. The brow bone is also less defined.

When lining your top lash line, start off with a thin line at the inner corner and make it thicker as you go along. A monolid also offers the perfect canvas to play around with dramatic winged liner and cat eye looks.
