Five Eye Makeup Tips For Monolid Eyes

Let’s talk monolid eyes. What are they and why do we have different eye shapes? They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder (no pun intended) and just like our bodies, eyes come in all shapes and sizes. There is no scientific reason why they are different, they just are, so embrace and learn to love your eyes, whatever the shape.

Here we share our five eye makeup tips for monolid eyes.

1. Eyeliner – Switch up your eyeliner and opt for some coloured liner to put on top of your black eyeliner. Add some to your bottom lash line to really make your eyes pop.
2. Primer –  Monolid eyes are more susceptible to smudged makeup, because makeup just disappears under the fold. So remember to prime those eyes.
3. Tightline your eyes – This technique creates a fuller, wide-eyed appearance. Fill your upper lash line with kohl eyeliner to create the look of thicker lash roots.
4. Eyeshadow – Opt for smokey eyeshadow, and blend from dark to light to create definition. To finish off, dust some shimmer highlighter to your inner corner to create bright eyes.
5. False Eyelashes – Strip lashes can really accentuate your eyes to make them appear bigger. You can go natural or dramatic depending on the look you go for.
