EYE SHAPES MASTERCLASS: 10 Eye Shapes and How to Apply Eyeshadow for Each Shape

[@barbiethedoglover]

Yes, please do a dedicated class on hooded lids. As an woman in her 50's, I would love to see you do this type of video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and artistic talent with us Marlena. Your little girl is going to be so lucky to have you as a momma ❤

[@TruthSeekerNC]

I have hooded and down turned eyes with my lid touching my lashes. It's awful. ☹

[@journeythroughthree]

I'm almost 53 and these hooded eyes are getting challenging, so a detailed video would be helpful.

[@sirivannomany3647]

Me too, I’m an Asian in her fifties with hooded eyes.

[@BirgitBauhaus]

Same to me! 👍😍 But I'm 65 and the is really the only ugly Problem I've got by aging! I can handle the Rest, but my hooded eyes are going to my Nervs! I've got them from my Parents (it's in my Family, all of them got it! 😢) too, starts in the beginning of my 50ties and I'm really thinking of to went to an Aesthetic Surgery... 😢😏!

I would love to see a class on how to choose lashes for each eye shape. I work at Mac and I sometimes stuggle with that.

[@courtneykhan8671]

The part where you demonstrated the wing on hood/deep set- this is the kinda thing i LOVE learning! You are the best teacher and I’m not bored like you said you would worry about- and i think most would agree! ♥️♥️

[@brookelynn30355]

I'm in the middle of watching the video and I just wanted to share something I've realized. Marlena, you are a true teacher and everything you do is for US. Your supporters. So many "beauty gurus" are so egotistical and vain. You've always been that breath of fresh air on YT. Your genuine passion for cosmetics (not soley a passion of putting cosmetics on yourself) is so clear and apparent. You are an incredible woman Marlena. Never stop doing what you love, whatever it is. You can always count on my support. Okay, sappy post is over lol. Back to the video!! ❤

[@MarlenaStell]

Thank you for SUCH a sweet comment! I really appreciate this!!! xoxo

[@MarlenaStell]

What questions do you have on eye shapes and techniques? List your questions below and I"ll do my best to answer them! Thanks for joining these classes! I'll see you for the next one on Thursday at 11am PST

[@1986candylicious]

Hi Marlena! I have prominent eyes and have been doing Smokey eye for years. Is there any other technique that will work? What about inverted halo? Also, what kind of fake lash would work well? I think a video of lash styles correlating with techniques and eye shape would be great!

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

I’m pretty sure I have almond shaped eyes but they are hooded pretty badly when my fave is just resting. I can make them less hooded by raising my eyebrows. Any time I try a cut crease you can never see my hard work. And anything shimmery just ends up all over my hoods.

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

Also, the bottom lash line. Anytime I put anything there it looks like a dark mess. And should I bring it all the way across or just mainly toward the outside so my eyes look more open? I’ve heard to not bring it all the way into the inner corner area if you want to have more open eyes.

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

Am I the only one who thought you had to put a dark color on the outer corner??? I think that’s where I have been going wrong.

[@nonamenope509]

My question is where is your jacket from? 🙈 it’s sooooo flattering! 😍 thank you so much for all the info and time you take to provide us with all this info ❤️ I’m going to try the inverted halo eye. I’ve never done it!

[@dbzennie7474]

Finally, I understand the prominent and protruding eye. The pictures did it for me. Thank you.

[@brandy4522]

I 100% agree with your teachings on this. I have hooded almond eyes. One hood is in a slightly different place on each eye. Strategic cut crease and gradients are my go to techniques. I dont even belly ache anymore that I "cant" do other methods. I just use different colors and textures and have never got bored.

[@carrie7610]

Yes! More on mature hooded eyes PLEASE!❤️💄Thank you Marlena... these videos are so awesome!!❤️❤️

I have upturned, almond-shaped, hooded eyes. Thanks for clearing that up! 😊

[@Sageyoursoul]

Thanks Marlena! You are simply amazing 😉 I just luv these makeup classes, they’re so helpful. I literally just spent the past 2weeks binge watching ALL of your old school videos from back in the day! So much fun and completely obsessed with Makeup Geek 🥰✨

I know the current situation isn't funny at all, but this comment had me laughing SO hard. Just wash your hands first! ;)

[@jones4106]

@@MarlenaStell Sometimes when times are scary and you've done all the preparing you can, the only thing left to do is laugh. I don't exactly think the current situation is funny either, but I'm glad I could spread the laughter!

[@MsButterflysting]

I just sneezed when I saw that & laughed so hard I had mucus spew out! No, it's not a funny situation, but for emotional emergencies, we need to chuckle. Living in a very isolated environment in Alaska, literally on an island in the Arctic Circle, I'm not particularly expecting to be afflicted indirectly by the virus, or directly. That said, we have only 4 major cities really & one has an international airport, so we did get our 1st official case who was immediately tested & quarantined onsite. Now, the same procedures for our last state declared severe emergency response from a huge earthquake (they occur daily, but the big ones happen only occasionally) meaning all public service building, schools, libraries etc are closed & the other passengers are being tested for COVID19 with their final destinations in villages or cities informed for tracking purposes. Wowza! Such a long response to such a small but powerfully emotive statement! I apologize unreservedly for this comment being so long! Thanks for the joke though, I definitely needed a laugh, plus apparently a cleanup on aisle nostrils lol. Stay safe!

Through your video teaching, I have been gaining more confidence to want to just PLAY with it all! THANK YOU, MARLENA! XOXO 🥰😘

I figured out that I have deep set almond shaped eyes, it totally makes sense now, why smoky eye look was never flattering on me, but graduent is the best. Such an informative video, thank you very much Marlena!💗

[@taylorwilliams5910]

THANK YOU MARLENA! I went on to WUIM group for advice on how to apply eyeshadow for my eye shape. Someone said I have deep set and now I know I do. You're a godsend, ever since I was a teen I was never happy with my eye looks and now I know why. I have a deep set and round eye combo, joy. But with watching this and practicing, maybe I can finally smile and be happy and confident in my makeup.

I "tight line" my crepey, hooded, deep set, downturned lids with Corrupt and a small, angled brush close and into what is left of my lashes. First I prime with Smashbox 24 hour eyeshadow primer from lashline and into sparse brows. Grunge and a stiff angled brow brush makes a very good brow powder for me. Really need to get good with your lashes. ;)
