3 Tips for Monolid Eye Makeup

Have you ever watched a YouTube video and thought to yourself, “That would never work, I don’t have the same eye shape,” or “Where do I put the crease color since I don’t have a crease?” We’ve got a few tips to help you out.

1. Think ombre. The key is applying your shadow in a gradient with the darkest color closest to the lash line. This gives the illusion of depth. Make sure you blend everything well; you want the colors to fade into each other rather than having distinct lines between each color. Finally, make sure you blend outwards. Dark colors near the inner part of the eye tend to make the eyes appear closer together.

2. Focus on the lashes. The shape of a monolid eye can push lashes downwards. Always curl your lashes and add a couple coats of mascara to hold the shape. Waterproof mascara tends to hold a curl better.

3. Use a natural highlight. Many people use a light color on the inner corner of the eye or the bottom waterline to brighten their eyes. For monolid eyes, a very light color can look unnatural. Opt for a flesh toned color to create that brightening effect.
