Eyeshadow for deep set eyes

[@AlexandraAnele]

Soooo don't feel like you have to do this EXACT look, but keep in mind that a light inner corner, lid and lower lash are going to achieve the look you want. But you could literally apply these same principles with like, an all blue look. GET CREATIVE 🙌🏼🎨

[@jeanetteprice6277]

Ooooo, yes please. All the color please. The louder the better.

[@jeanetteprice6277]

Oh, also, does the Dominique eye primer help with dry eyelids? I got that dry, flaky trentinoin thing going on 😒

[@nikkisthinem]

You are naturally great at explaining this stuff! Love love love your vids

Would love to see this with a variety of colors!

Not trying to be weird but harsounds really pretty But I in general like deep set droopy tired eyes 😅

[@alize0623]

@@jasmintea8825 oh, no my eyes aren’t droopy. They’re round. But I do look like I got in a fight and lost after not sleeping approx 100 years.

Pleeeeeeeeeeease do more. There isn't enough deep set eyes representation on makeup channels.

[@mariestopa]

[@fatimamohamed8041]

Yes

[@proggaparomita281]

My low eyebrows, deep set eyes and visible-from-a-mile-away undereye bags are so grateful for this

[@Lexi_________]

I think people often confuse "hooded" eyes with "deep set" eyes...at least I know I did before watching waaaaay too many hours of youtube (yikes!). I thought I had hooded eyes, but came to realize that if fact I had deep set/hollow set eyes that require a bit more effort to disguise. Great video and thanks for all your great tips and tricks! xo

[@Verbsdescribeus]

Actually makeup guru Andreea Ali said they are the same ?

[@StephanieLeighG]

@@Verbsdescribeus KZbin deleted my comment for having an external link. Look up pics of people who get filler for sunken upper eyes. If they get too much filler put in they go from having hollow sunken eyes to puffy hooded eyes. That’s because hollow eyes and hooded eyes are almost opposites. It’s possible to have deep set eyes in the area near your nose, and hooded eyes on the outer side of your eye though. It might sound crazy that you can have both issues at the same time even though their opposites, but it’s true. I’m not saying that person you mentioned is a bad makeup artist, but they must not know what “deep-set eyes” means.

[@celinag9968]

I second this. I have deep set eyes, that are also slightly hooded. AND I have a prominent brow bone that jutts out right in the corner of my eyes. All those things, separately happening, haha!

[@thelidiaedit]

So true, I think it’s one of my most watched tutorials just because there’s not enough representation. And I still think when you have both (hooded and deep set) it gets even worse: there’s literally a handful of people giving advice for this

[@cindyparren]

Same. I have deep set eyes that are not hooded. I love watching tutorials, but quickly realized I could not always achieve the same looks as the videos because my eyes are different. I had to figure it out myself what looks best on me. Though once in awhile I still try different looks, like halo or glam, it's the light inner corner and dark outer v that looks the best.

[@MajaJuric]

Your channel is masterpiece - cannot express how much I'm enjoying your content!

[@AlexandraAnele]

😭 This literally means everything 🥺 Thank you 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

[@tamaratoday6235]

I have pretty deep set eyes, so I’ll be giving this a go. My problem is that because my sockets are so deep, I have a very difficult time creating that V in the outer corner. Maybe the next deep set look you try could be more rounded? Thanks Alex!

[@Puff_Puff_Packs]

Same here and when I do create it, it still looks bad lol.

[@chloemasters8778]

I have exact same problem ☹️

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

I am 99% sure you meant "pretty deep set" as verrrrry deep set, but I initially read it as "I have pretty eyes that are deep set," and I cheered! Lol just saying both are likely true and wouldn't it be awesome if we started calling all our gorgeous deep and intensely placed eyes as "pretty." Plus, we have better prote tion from rain, dust, etc! On a practical note, just as a makeup hobbyist with deep eyes, i think you might try a C shape, instead of a V, and make your first brush stroke with the dark shadow go whereever you want the center of the C to be (where the middle of the V would be). Then blend it up into the upper half curving around your eye socket, then down, then with a big fluffy, blend the whole into more of a vague arc or semicircle shape? The goal being to make your skin next to the socket look further back, which brings your eye forward. And don't forget to take advantage of the mysterious drama that very deep set eyes can offer...

[@tamaratoday6235]

@@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory I love your response! It’s funny, I had no idea I would describe my eyes as deep set until my sister-in-law, who is a whiz with make up exclaimed over my “deep sockets“ 😆

[@Barb6106]

Yes! Mine are very deep and there can’t be a wing liner..or a v in the corner. We need a open eyed look without elongation. Help!

[@cheron508]

Not me literally thinking I wish one of my faves would upload right now and then getting this notification. Your consistency has been therapeutic

[@AlexandraAnele]

😩 Hey, I'm here for YOU ❤❤❤

[@Fiona_Co]

This is literally the only channel that teaches in a way that I understand, and for my specific eye shape, and I am forever grateful 😭💖

[@TheHxXx]

This is exactly what I do, discovered over the years by trial and error, so it’s good to know I’m on to something! 😂 It also looks nice with a hint of highlight in the centre, right near the lashes xXx

[@seema2700]

I’m so incredibly grateful for this tutorial. I’m in my early 30s and only just realized last year that I have deep set eyes and that’s why I couldn’t crack the code on how to make tutorials look the same on me. Thank you so so much. Please bless us with more of these if you’re able, finding well done deep set eye tutorials is pretty hard to find.

[@annamokrushina9228]

Pleeeeease more, more, MORE tuts for them deep and/or close set eyeballs !!! (btw you rock, I’m a fan)

[@loridowiatt5672]

Honestly one of the main I reasons I started watching you is because I have relatively the same shaped eyes as you and it can be a little difficult doing some these fun trendy looks, you know? My eyeballs just weren’t made for it!! But you show how to work around that and it makes my mornings flow a little easier 🖤 could you do some tutorials on graphic liners for deep set/hooded eyes?

[@jod8724]

This explains why halo looks aren’t working for me. I’ve tried so many times and I wondered why it never looked right. Really good tips.

[@Mercyreneeb]

Right! I kept trying halo looks and was so confused why I looked crossed eyed lol

[@Haghenveien]

Try to do them the opposite way, putting the light colour on the edges and the dark colour on the center of the lid. Halo eyes never worked for me until one day, playing with my makup, I did a halo eye that way and surprisingly it looked good

[@jod8724]

That’s a good idea, I’ll give it a go as I love a halo eyeshadow look

[@Jjba_Reference]

My prom is tomorrow and I just tried eyeshadow for basically the first time, and I could barely see it when I opened my eyes. So I am so grateful for your help!💕

I finally figured out what eye shape I have (I’m a little embarrassed). I tried this out and I loved it! I’ve been struggling since high school with my eye shadow!!!

[@armelladiorio8745]

This tutorial was so helpful. I struggled to get the right shape without my eye shadow getting very muddy looking when using traditional methods. Your ability to demonstrate the placement of the darker shadow along with being more focused on the inner corner with a lighter shade has made all the difference. I hope you do more videos like this. Thanks!

[@oyabun9650]

I love how you don't make things seem more complicated than they actually are. So many MUAs make their tutorials unnecessarily complicated by using 50 different shades and brushes.

[@adoman6355]

It’s absolutely amazing how you consistently nail your desired look each and every time. You demonstrate your makeup application technique so beautifully. Thank you for sharing your skills and talent with us. I have dark, deep set eyes, so I really appreciated this video. ❤️

[@taylordorozynski7482]

Having deep set eyes (not to mention the same eye color as you!!) It’s so hard to find eye shadow styles that work for me, your videos make me feel so represented in the beauty industry!!! Thank you for showing how beautiful our eye shapes can be!!

[@Jamie-2024]

You're the only makeup artist I have found on KZbin that has the same facial features (eyes and lips) as me. I can't even begin to tell you how hard it has been to find makeup that looks good on me, either because most makeup artists have had work done to these areas, and/or show makeup looks that just do not work for my face type.

[@VAL702]

Yes!! We have the same eye shape and this is literally my every day look. Almost exact colors too. Except I go in with black as my final step just on the outer third of the eye - love it

[@sugar_cube_draws]

Yess! Whenever I would do a full lid of colour or smokey eyes I'd end up hating it but I'd really love it when I did a simple winged liner with an accent of colour around. Recently started putting highlighter on the inner corner and love how it's turning out! I guess this is why I'd lean towards the Korean style of eye makeup more 🤔

[@talks2turtles]

I'm very new to make-up (at 38 I'm a late bloomer!), and I very much appreciate your channel. Yours has been the only one I've decided to follow, actually. Thank you for this one, in particular. I have very deepset eyes, and my brow bone basically connects with my cheek giving my side profile this droopy eye look, and most of the eyeshadows I tried really seemed to accentuate that, which I wasn't fond of. From the front it was okay, the side not so much. This video game me some hope because I was about to give up on the eyeshadow thing altogether! Thanks!

[@debsterClarkson]

I was smiling so much throughout this because this is almost EXACTLY how I do my make up, I get bored of it, but it's only way I feel looks good on me.. I have close set deep set eyes. So I know with certainty that this is a great tutorial!

[@singularity___]

!!!! I was just thinking the other day I need something like this. My eyes are fairly wide apart but pretty deep-set/shadowy. I started to notice years back that light shades/ even light shimmery/glittery shades on the inner third almost just all the way up to my brow seems to be really flattering on me and I think this explains why lol

Why is this girl so extremely underrated? I´ll tell you why! She gets right into the business, doesn´t speak with a put on nasally voice, doesn´t give off all those made up faces as those whose narcissism seems to get fed by being an influencer and she´s seems like herself. What too many women/girls like today is that fake influencer who speaks with a girly voice, blows kisses and says "I´m literally obsessed!" about ALL products that they´ve been paid to promote 🙄. Alexandra, Wayne Goss and Lisa Eldridge are 3 youtubers who seem to keep it real. Thank you Alexandra! Please don´t let them change you! Some of us mature viewers appreciate the realness and the professional zoom-ins.

[@ralucamakeup]

I have close set/deep set eyes and intuitively I've always been placing my shadow like this. Even the lower lash line shimmer in the inner part 😍 It really lightens everything up! Ofc I like experimenting with makeup, but when I really wanna try to look my best, this is what I do 😅

[@bowfantee]

Okay, so I’ve been doing a basic eye for years with different colors. I came across this and figured I’d give it a try. I truly noticed such a difference. It really opened up my close set eyes and made my eye lifted. It’s amazing how the direction of those shadows just change your whole face. I love that you encourage bringing that lift, instead of just sticking with the basics like we’ve been mostly taught through the years. There ain’t no strict rules here with makeup. Do what suits your individual eyes.

[@TheUntamedCloset]

Alexandra thank you for this. I really didn’t wear eyeshadow for what seems like a couple years, and lately when I tried to, it just never turned out the way I wanted it to. Watching this made me realize I have deep set eyes (I knew I had hooded lids due to aging, but never realized I have BOTH), and the strategies made SUCH a difference when I applied them today! Total confidence booster for the skillset. Thanks for teaching this aging dog some new tricks! Appreciate you!

[@SA-np5xo]

Dude YES! I have deep-set hooded eyes plus a prominent brow bone, other makeup looks and eyeshadow techniques look terrible on me because they just disappear from the side (lol). I gravitate towards just putting colour on the hooded bit of my eye similar this but a lot of beauty people online say that it's wrong 😩 I feel so validated rn If it's not too repetitive for you could you give tips for us deep-set gals on how to wear funky/bright colours too? They look awful in the classic blended "middle of lid" placement on me and it sorta defeats the point of doing this technique 😬🖤
