Each face is unique, while it is almost impossible to comply with generally accepted beauty standards in everything. Many women experience unpleasant emotions when looking at photo of stars with perfect appearance.
In fact, most of the shortcomings of famous people are hidden by the skillful techniques of beauticians, makeup artists, and often plastic surgeries. For example, such a feature of the face as deep-set eyes can be easily corrected with the right makeup.
What eyes are considered deep-set
Deep-set eyes (photos of many celebrities confirm this) have a number of distinctive and noticeable features:
- the eyes are located in the depths of the eye socket, and do not stand out among the facial features;
- voluminous and convex brow ridges look hanging over the eyes;
- the upper eyelid is almost invisible, it seems small and short;
- the upper eyelid has a deep crease.
The combination of all these features makes it difficult to apply makeup, so the use of mascara and matching eyeshadows comes to the fore. The main goals of a correct make-up are as follows.
For deep-set eyes, you must:
- raise eyebrows visually higher;
- hide or smooth deep folds on the upper eyelid;
- visually push the eyes forward and change their section;
- open your eyes, make them more expressive.
This can be achieved with a simple set: mascara, eyeliner and shadows in the right shades.
Among the main recommendations of makeup artists are:
- using a primer every day and persistent eye makeup - a deep crease of the eyelid has its drawbacks, in particular, shadows or eyeliner can be printed on the skin, or the makeup completely rolls off;
- ready-made eye makeup should also be fixed - this can be done with powder or special means;
- the presence of dark circles is a common problem with deep-set eyes, so it is imperative to apply concealer under the eyes;
- dark eyeliner on the lower eyelid should be avoided;
- to design the movable part of the upper eyelid, use a light palette of shadows;
- mascara is applied sparingly on the lower eyelashes, or they are not painted over at all;
- if arrows are drawn, then the line should be thin and close to the eyelashes;
- the use of sparkles, shimmer and mother-of-pearl is encouraged;
- eyelashes deserve special attention - volumetric mascara is applied in 2-3 layers, false eyelashes will allow you to "open up" your eyes;
- they do not emphasize the eyebrows, they should not "hang" over the eyes;
- it is advisable to slightly lighten the area under the eyebrows, the central part of the movable upper eyelid and the inner corner of the eye;
- accentuate bright lips rather than eyes.
Are the eyes located close or wide?
Deep-set eyes can be located far or close to each other.
- If the distance between the eyes is more than the length of one eyethen they are considered wide-set.To correct this feature of the face towards greater symmetry, it is necessary to focus on the area of the eyes at the very bridge of the nose, for example, to darken them. When applying eyeliner, you need to start the line from the innermost corner, and not from the middle, as in most cases.
- If the distance between the two eyes is less than the length of one eyethen they are considered to be planted close. Here, for correction, the glabellar region is lightened and the outer corner of the eyelid is darkened, while the inner corner is left without an accent.
Selection of shades of makeup according to the color type of appearance
In total, there are 4 main color types of appearance, which make-up artists recommend to rely on when choosing suitable shades of makeup.
They are divided into 2 main groups: cold (summer and winter) and warm (spring and autumn). It is almost impossible to find them in their pure form, but one color type will prevail over others. He should be guided by when choosing a makeup color palette.
Spring
It is characterized by a light skin tone with warm, honey and pink tones. Hair - from sandy and warm blond to light brown, often with a reddish tint. Eyes: green, blue, light brown. In make-up you need to use: a natural palette with a predominance of beige, peach and gray shades.
The use of soft mother-of-pearl, which helps to "open" the look, is also actual. Lips are emphasized with natural or coral shades, in the evening - red lipstick will be appropriate. It is better not to use a pink palette in make-up, even for lipstick.
Summer
It is characterized by a cold tone and almost white skin. Hair - blond, light brown, less often - light brown, with an ash tint. Eyes are all light colors, often interspersed with gray. In the make-up, it is recommended to focus on the "cool" palette: light lilac, pink and other dull colors.
Neutral ones are also suitable: gray, coffee, gray, white and cream. When making a "smoky" eye makeup with a deep fit, you should avoid excessively dark colors, and take into account lighter and pearlescent shadows. It is better to focus on the lips.
Fall
It is characterized by a warm and golden tint of the skin. Hair color ranges from red and brown to black. The eyes are most often brown, as well as brown with a honey tint, dark green or sandy.
In the make-up, gold, beige and peach, marsh, as well as all shades of brown look good. The smoky makeup option is not recommended in this case.
Winter
This cold type is characterized by a contrasting appearance: pale skin in contrast to black or brown hair with an ash tint. Eyes are almost any: brown, cold blue or green. For correction, it is recommended to use calm gray and beige base shadows, as well as emerald or purple.
A "smoky" make-up with soothing shades is well suited. There is no need for blush, or they are applied to a minimum. And lips can be applied with bright lipstick in the evening, or transparent gloss for the daytime version.
Make-up for deep-set eyes. Technique
Smoky eyes
Classic Smoky eyes offers well-blended smoky eyelids. To do this, make-up artists actively use a dark palette of shadows, black eyeliner and a selection of the lower eyelid.
When visually correcting deep-set eyes, the use of these "techniques" is impossible, so make-up artists have made some changes:
- The face is smoothed and, if necessary, corrected with a foundation.
- The upper eyelid must be covered with a base under the shadow.
- The upper eyelid is brought in with a pencil from the middle to the outer corner along the eyelash growth line, gradually thickening and rising to the temple. The lower lashes are lined only slightly, starting from 1/3 of the eyelid and connecting with the upper line. The eyeliner is carefully shaded.
- To create a smooth transition, you will need several shadows of the same color from the darkest to the lightest shade. The pencil used for the liner should be the same color as the eyeshadow. The darkest color is applied at the outer corner, highlighting the fold of the eye socket. The middle tone is in the center, and the lightest is at the inner corner. The boundaries between them are "blurred" with a brush.
- Eyebrows must be shaped, while quite brightly, given the color type. They can be visually "raised", if you apply light shadows under them, it is possible with mother-of-pearl.
- Since the emphasis is on the eyes, the lips are covered with lipstick or gloss of a neutral palette.
Day makeup
Deep-set eyes (the photo of which shows how much this feature of the face stands out) is not a problem when creating daytime makeup, since it does not imply much emphasis on the eyes or lips.
The daily make-up is performed, taking into account the following features:
- face skin should be moisturized, tone used, and concealer under the eyes;
- you can limit yourself to only a gray or brown pencil as an eyeliner, which is carefully shaded;
- if shadows are used, then only from a neutral pastel palette;
- only the upper eyelashes are painted with ink, making movements with a brush in the direction from the inner edge to the outer, thus creating a "fox" look.
Good makeup rules
evening make-up
Evening makeup is performed by analogy with day makeup, but other decorative elements are added:
- brighter and wider arrow on the upper eyelid;
- it is possible to use brighter shadows and sparkles;
- you can also decorate the cheekbones with sparkles and stars;
- false eyelashes and bright lipstick are welcome.
Natural nude makeup
As a kind of evening make-up, you can choose Smoky eyes or the Chicago technique. Photos of deep-set eyes show that some types of makeup are best suited for this particular appearance. For example, this is a nude-style make-up, as it does not use dark shades of shadows.
Nude makeup should be done this way:
- The correct tone is applied to the face and the shape of the eyebrows must be corrected - in natural make-up they are of paramount importance.
- For eyeliner, use a dark gray or brown pencil. They draw a line along the eyelashes on the upper eyelid, starting from its middle to the outer corner. The eyeliner should be applied very close to the lashes - it should not be very noticeable. The lower eyelid is not isolated, or it is done carefully. To do this, use a hard brush, which is used to put very small neat points between the eyelashes of the lower eyelid.
- The upper eyelid is completely covered with the base shade of the shadows, blending them well. For blondes, this is a light palette of shadows that match the color type of appearance, for brunettes - cream or matte natural shadows. Makeup in the Nude style looks the most organically on brown-haired women.
- The inner corner of the eye is highlighted with a lighter shade. To highlight the outer corner, you can use shadows, just a couple of tones darker than the main palette.
- The eyelashes do not need to be highlighted, only one layer of mascara is applied to the upper eyelashes. It is necessary to ensure that they are well "combed".
- The lips are also left natural, covering only with a shine of a natural shade.
Technique "Chicago"
To eliminate the negative effect of sunken eyes from deep-set eyes on the face, you can use the "Chicago" technique.
Since the 30s of the last century, only the decorative components of this make-up have changed, but the technique has remained the same:
- Smooth skin and even tone - the basis of "Chicago" make-up;
- Cover the upper eyelid with basic shadows, bringing out the fold of the eyelid;
- We cover the immovable eyelid above the fold with a slightly darker color, thus the movable eyelid turns out to be lighter, which allows it to be “pulled out”;
- With a white pencil, it is necessary to bring the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid;
- Ideally, the eyebrows should be thin enough, but you can simply visually "reduce" them if the upper part of them is emphasized with a pencil of a contrasting color, and the lower part is retouched with a pink-peach corrector;
- Eyelashes must be carefully painted over with voluminous mascara in several layers, or use false eyelashes - this way the look will become even more expressive;
- Apply lipstick of a saturated color to the lips, slightly correcting their shape with a concealer towards the "bow".

How to fix deep-set eyes
In addition to makeup, there are other - more radical methods of correcting deep-set eyes - at the anatomical level. If this feature of appearance requires a radical correction of the parameters of the face with a long-term effect, you should pay attention to such modern cosmetic procedures and techniques:
- Blepharoplasty - a surgical operation designed to get rid of the overhanging eyelid, which is the most pronounced problem of deep-set eyes.The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia in combination with surgical incisions.
- Injection blepharoplasty - allows you to avoid all operational risks, eliminating the impending eyelid with the help of injections with various drugs. The following can be used as a filler:
- hyaluronic acid;
- restylane;
- Evolence;
- Perlane;
- Juvederm.
Correction of deep-set eyes with fillers in plastic surgery is called nasolacrimal groove correction. The procedure removes not only the sunken effect, but also the dark circles around the eyes.
Previous injection blepharoplasty can be corrected if the patient is not satisfied with the result of changing deep-set eyes. Before choosing one of the procedures, you should read the reviews of people, look at the before and after photos, in order to imagine the approximate results from their implementation.

I also know ways to fix deep-set eyes, besides makeup:
1. Cantoplasty. Such a surgical operation is simple: all the doctor needs is to correct the patient's upper or lower eyelid. Tightening of the tendons, lifting the skin of the eyelids, changing the corner of the eyes - all this is done during such an operation. The risk of injury is minimal, and the operation takes very little time. The postoperative recovery period will be short.
2. Cosmetology. This includes beauty treatments such as Botox or hyaluronic acid injections. The effectiveness of these two injection options is high, but they will have to be done periodically - once every six months or a year. Such drugs are injected into the forehead area, nasolacrimal groove. Sometimes it is enough to get rid of dark circles under the eyes with the help of cosmetology, and the eyes cease to be visually sunken.
3. Exercise. Exercise is one of the most unusual ways to correct deep-set eyes. They are not too complicated - anyone can handle them. You need to strain and raise your eyebrows, raise your eyelids strongly, raise your forehead. Systematic and high-quality performance of exercises is important in order to get a good result in the end.
