What type of eyeliner suits your eye shape?

If you have hooded eyes, a fine eyeliner or lash enhancement is best for you, a thicker eyeliner may be hiding behind the eyelid.

If you have round eyes, a slightly extended fine eyeliner will enhance the shape of your eyes.

For almond eye shape most eyeliner styles work well, from classic eyeliner to bolder, or winged styles.

For oriental eyes a thinner eyeliner can enhance eyes without overpowering the eyes. The style depends on how much space there is on the eyelid, and sometimes a small tail may look nice.

Downturned eyes need a lifted look, so slightly upturned eyeliner can help balance the shape.
