"at one point i just started asking myself why am i fighting against what im born with naturally?" gurl i loved that part!

I have round, upturned eyes and yes to emphasizing the lower outer eye! I always watch Korean/Japanese beauty videos and their style of makeup always suits my eyes! I don’t like doing western, cat eye/bold eye looks with big lashes. I rather embrace my own ingenue face and enhance it!

Once again you've managed to break down a lot of information with your usual compact, interesting and well illustrated videos. There's so much content out there that doesn't explain what will actually work with your own unique looks so this is a service to those fascinated by differences. Thank you!

Agree! I am 55yo Filipina and have almond shape with hooded eyes (due to fold, not deep socket/brow bone) , downturned , with minimal lid space. This trifecta makes applying eye makeup a challenge.

I always get super excited when you post a new video and always learn something new

Love this video! Finally someone who does not exclude the eyebrows. My eyebrows are quite close to my eyes, so make-up tutorials about 'hooded eyes' never seemed to work for me, because they place eyeshadow above the moving eyelid. I simply do not have that much space. That being said, I do wear eyeshadow every now and then, even though you don't see that much of it, when I'm looking straight ahead of me, but if you talk, you also blink, raise your eyebrows, etc... so then, you do see it. I don't think it's that important for eyeshadow to be seen at all times, since you will always see at least a part of it, as you talk.

Thank you so much for this!!! This totally explains why all the advice for almond-shaped eyes never really seemed to work for me. Your videos are so unique and really speak to the audience as individuals. 🌹🥰❤️

You're brilliant! I love the specificity of your diagrams, explanations, and examples. I get really confused by a lot of vagueness in beauty talk, but you manage to help me grasp what others could not. For instance, the almond vs round shapes of eyes... I was never certain what I was looking at when having it pointed out to me. Thank you, Jenn. Also, do you have any tips for someone who is never really sure if her makeup is "too much"? I get confused by what I believe I look like vs what I look like under different lighting, or in pictures , etc. It always feels like its either "I don't know how I thought I could get away with that look!" or "No one's going to believe I spent even 30 minutes on my face" when I see myself after applying makeup. LOL. LOVE your work!! Thanks!!!

Would you mind doing a video expanding on what “visual weight” is? I’d love to learn more about that and see some examples. Thank you for the great video as usual.

I think that eyelash length can also affect how big or small your eyes look. I have small eyes with looong invisible/blonde lashes, but when I wear mascara or even dye my lashes dark, my eyes look big even though the actual eyes are quite small.

I love how you provide info but only present the range of options, noting that one formula doesn’t fit all. I have very hooded, almond eyes with straight corners and thin lids (also a milk chocolate coloring (red undertones)). Liners/shadows crease and smudge. My eyes are so almond that I had to learn an application technique for mascara so the upper/lower outer lashes didn’t tangle. I embrace the almond and the hood. I opted for liner & outer corner shadow tattoos (addresses the crease issue and allergies that made me tear up & smudge makeup regularly). I use a serum as a sealer & eye gloss to add a glam glow to my blue black, tattooed liner (subtly thinner line on outer top/bottom corner and soft black shadow. I found that using Anastasia’s champagne waterline pencil helps. I use it on the lower inner 3/4 of my waterline and to lightly shade the upper, inner corner of my eye (between crease and brow). It decreases the heavy, sagging look, while making the smoky hooded look pop. I use mascara and glossy sealer to highlight outer corner, not to look extra long/thick like falsies. I went with tattoo because this enhances and is not a trend, so there is no concern about changing. I am also older (late 50’s but wrinkle-free thanks to genes and decades of constant extra care for eczema) … I do what makes me happy.

You can have multiple shapes on one eye! I wish you would add this to the video. My waterline & lashline are very almond shaped, but my orbital bones / socket / crease line is incredibly round, like an owl. This means I have a substantial visible eyelid in the middle, which tapers to being very thin to completely hidden on my inner & outer corners. It has taken me a long time to understand and explain to others this eye shape. A lot of people just go with racial assumptions on how to do my makeup, and it looks bad. Applying eyeshadow is straightforward for me, but winged liner is challenging: do I follow what's pleasing for my lashline or my socket line? When I go with the conventional winged eyeliner advice, the line just sinks straight into my brow bone. When I use advice for hooded eyes to avoid my brow bone, the line looks at odds with my lashlines. I have a system that works, but I hope this distinction is helpful for others too!

Jenn, you explain the art of makeup better than anyone else! You're the most insightful KZfaqr around.

The eye makeup you are wearing is really making your eyes look beautiful.

Love love love your videos. Amazing content. Love how you teach us to enhance and embrace our uniqueness.

Very envious of your mouth shape. So pretty 😮

We need more of color analysis and color pallets please

Fascinating! I love how you point out the things I didn't realize I saw. And the things I didn't see and now know!

OK, now I know why people always ask me, whether I am sad or surprised. My eyes are on the rounder side, my iris is on the bigger size, my eyes aren't big but eather small, they are on a straight line. My crease is big and the distance between my lashes and my eyebrows are big and my eyebrows are round as well. My eyes give me a super surprised expression 😂.

My hoods, at my age, are almost obscuring the outer corners of my eyes, so inspired by Korean MUAs and aegyosal, I'm doing a much thicker line of shadow (always in muted and not-dark colors) UNDER my eyes, and then taking that line out almost horizontally, and blending it with a darker shadow on the outer half of my upper lids. It really has the effect of making my eyes look bigger, and slightly turned up. It's the craziest 'cat-eye' ever!

One of the best eye makeup videos I've seen! Love how you really analyze how to look at your own features and enhance or balance what you have.

My 3rd video of a new subscriber binge. 🤯

Thank you, the best videos about eye shapes I've ever seen. I like that you provide a lot of examples and explain the differences and details.

My Eyes: round, hooded, up turned, low to medium crease line, high brows, balanced distance…I feel like the weight on my face is kind of big because they are round and bright blue but they aren’t actually that “big” on my face. I feel like it’s kind of hard to do eye makeup because they’re somewhat hooded and low crease and round which is bad for eyeliner. But then high brow makes a lot of space possible 🤔

Thank you for another great video Jenn! I’d love to hear your take on contouring. There are so many contradicting videos/tutorials out there and I firmly believe you’re the only one I would understand! ❤❤

Thanks you so much for these vids Jenn. You always take our suggestions to heart. Soon there's going too be too many comments to choose from (bc let's be honest we all know that's where this channel is going). No one is doing it like you we appreciate you!!!

Your break down of the face has really helped me define my hairstyle and eye make up look. Not an easy task for fine curly hair and hooded eyes .

Omg your the first person that’s really made me understand! Thankyou so much ❤❤❤ so many other people just lack the knowledge or over complicate it

10:42 Actually, i have portuding eyes, and my eyebrows are low set. Tysm for a detailed video about eye shapes bc looking at those eye charts and trying to figure out was tiring.

Thanks a lot! Your videos are so on point. I am happy for you to see your channel growing.

I've never understood the shape of my eyes, but i've been instinctively doing the right things. This was really interesting. I figured that i have upturned almond eyes, with large irises and distance to brows, semi-hooded and they are wide set. So i have a sexy look with high visual impact, but i need more makeup because of my coloring and heart shape face.

This was so helpful and informative, Jenn! Thank you!

This is so interesting. Faces are so weird! 😂 I have large almond shaped eyes that are slightly close set. However, my orbital bone is super round and prominent, so although I have good lid space, I cannot do winged liner, because my orbital bone is in the way. All eyes are so unique and different, and most "universal" eye makeup techniques aren't working for everyone, imo.

Love how detailed and clear your explanations are. It makes way more sense that way than the diagrams you always see online. I also like that you use a holistic and accepting lens. I think that's very important as well. In your consultation with me it turned out a lot of eye make-up styles could work for me, including fun and artsy ones, which I very much like. Shame that I found out my eyes get very easily irritated (or plugged even...) especially with mascara and eyeliner/pencil (eyeshadow seems mostly fine). I am keeping my eyes open (hehe) for techniques and products that would be more gentle though and until then I can at least curl my lashes and maybe use a little bit of eyeshadow 😁 Excited for your unique content to come 🤗

Amazing information - you're a genius at breaking it all down!!! Thank you 🙏❤

Wonderful video, thank you so much. Really appreciated your personal anecdotes and the broader thought about working with the features we're given 💖 thank you

This was extremely informative. Thank you!

Дякую, Дженн! Ваші відео дуже цікаві, мені дуже подобається як ви все аналізуєте, у вас глибокий інтелектуальний підхід без упередження. Мені аж захотілось поексперементувати з макіяжем, як у часи студентства

Very practical and helpful!!

Just discovered your channel and I can’t stop watching your videos. Brilliant work. Can you do a video that is more dedicated for double chin? I know you mentioned it in some of your videos but a separated and detailed one may be helpful for us who have it. Great job again!

Thank you. You have made it clear once and for all. ❤

Now I understand why I like eyeliner on the outside corner of my lower lid! More great information, thank you.

So glad you talk about both western & asian features :)

Jenn we love your authenticity and resourcefulness. Thanks sis 💕

Just started watching the first 2 mins and am already excited! Thank you! So much of the "advice" out there is for, say...almond vs hooded vs deepset eyes..." like huh?! I have round, deepset eyes which itself is kinda an anomaly, because everyone thinks "round eyes" should always be protuding 😕

this is such a helpful video! all the existing charts really confused me because it seemed like you just had to be one or the other, when in reality most ppl have multiple traits! definitely will put your tips to use!

Thank you for the information. It was very well given.

Really looking forward to what you have to say! I feel like my eyes are small and unremarkable.

Ok but you look really good

Great video. I learnt something from it! I only couldn't figure out the up turn and down turn features

Dear Jen, thanks so much for your videos, they're amazing!!! I've been wondering, would you have any recommendations for: a) covering deep shadows around the eye area, for instance with deep set eyes, very light skin or very dark circles around the eyes? b) how to shorten the philtrum by using makeup, and how to bring out the Cupid's bow, and what effect which Cupid's bow shape has overall?? Thank you for your time and attention, and have a great and relaxing weekend!!!!

Could you please make a video about protruding eyes and how to manage the shadows around them when applying makeup?

Brilliant video 🎉

Could you make some videos about the kibbe body type ? :)

This was super helpful. Question: Can you talk about size in a video sometime? Or specifically go over "visual weight"

Very informative video thank you so much, finally founded my eyes type. Wow in 11:59 i thought those eyes were mine lol

in my case: round, hooded, slighlty upturned, deep set, narrow creaseline, eyebrows not too close to the eyes but also not a lot of space in between I am never using eyeliner only mascara and I am powdering the light gaps in my eyebrows (with a matching colour of course). Eyeshadow only on special occasions just like weddings etc. but only light/bright shiny colours. It will not stay for long anyways (no matter what foundation) because of oily upper eyelids🙄 I would really love to wear the bold smokey eyes but it's just not made for my eyes. At least it's fun to do the smokey eye look on friends eyes 🖌️💄💅

Hi Jen, I ❤your channel. I’m 50 and would really love some more content for mature women, rosacea heavier faces etc. Thank you so much 🥰

Love the video! Our eyes and how they appear change with age, weight loss and weight gain. As we age, the outer corners droop, causing eyes to look even more round. The best makeup artist/content creator for eye shapes, esp hooded and droopy eyes is Stephanie Lange. Added links to her channel in another comment.

I have large rounded eyes but mine are more horizontally wide ,although I do have a very feminine soft look ,I have a more mature look about me. I thought that was due to that I have upturned eyes , high cheekbones and a curvy figure.

Thank you! Agora entendi o que valoriza meus olhos :D

I have deep set almond eyes with some upper eyelid fat (I think slightly upturned), it makes applying eyeliner difficult.

I have a mixed between round and almond... large roundish almond eyes

The hardest Thing I find for me? Is my eyes seem to mix the puppy vs Cat look. Are closet set together- deep in my face- squish-face syndrome I call it. I have no idea how to make my eyes pop. Hooded lids. Like everything that can make putting make up a challenge. Confusing hard. This video helps me but also leaves me wondering what the heck to do with my type of eyes. :) I’m all over hte place with the shape/ length/ everything. Lol Good ideas to help me start investigating for sure! Great videos!

yes i always thought my eyes were downturned and assummed it was my outer corner was lowrr than my inner. I only realised very recently that my outer corner is higher up than the inner corner and was trying to i figure out why do my eyes have the illusion of being turned down even though its physically the opposite. I saw that the highest point of my upper eyrlid is close to my nose and it slopes down fron there and it had to be that and his video confirms that. But i hvnt really analysed my lower lid at all so i dwefintell gotta do that 😂.

So interesting. I never noticed the pupil part - turns out I have very large pupils that make my eyes look bigger and rounder than they actually are! Go figure 👁️ 👁️

2:11 Right mine are round eyes with hood, slightly deep set, slightly close set, and upturned. But because I have big hood when I relax my eyes they look almond rather than round but when my eyes aren’t relaxed they look round. It’s complicated 😢 1) my width is longer but at the same time almost the same height as it is long. My eyes aren’t that long. It’s mixed 2) my outer corners are upturned but because I have (fat)hooded eyes, my eyes look straight (at the same level) 7:25 3) my lids disappears when my eyes relax. I just have fat eyes 😂 4) I have short eye-lid distance but average-enough space from eyes to brows 5) They are medium-big but I feel like my nose is more protruding which takes away the attention. So this one has me confused. I am trying to find my style

Guys I know that this question is out of topic but sometimes puffiness in my crease line..like sometimes I find it puffy as if it was stung?! And sometimes it's not in my crease line but it's directly below my eye. Did someone experience that?

Thanks to you i now understand better why my eyes look droopy even though the line from my inner corner to my outer is very straight: because my upper lid's highest point is closer to the inner corner!! Very informative video, thank you Jenn!

what matters more than the shape: to see. I'm a person that struggles to see things around me

If you already have upturned almond shaped eyes, should you avoid cat eye makeup? What's the best makeup for that shape? Thanks for these great videos!

Is "hunter eyes" an option?

I like the longer videos

I have almond, downturned, protruding eyes. I’m in my 30s and I’m just now starting to really get into makeup and I have no idea of how to make them look good 😅

"the width is always longer than the vertical length" what did I hear 😂😂

I have round downturned large creased and protruding eyes....Now I need a tutorial....I don't know how to do it....

Can you cover asymmetrical eyes and other facial features? I need help with learning how to balance them with makeup.

I feel like my eye shape is very similar to Audrey Tautoe’s eyes. Round and maybe even but with the highest point fairly close to the inside of the iris.

Jenn I have noticed my middle third is the longest on me. How can I make it look more balanced? Is bold lipstick a good idea for this? (I also have a rather round chin).

Heyy a question why do we focus on balancing features For example i hv upturned eyes with arched brows but balancing it with liner makes me look weird, whereas drawing the liner even higher just makes me look so much better i even get compliments When i draw under the eyes it makes my eyes look smaller and i look like a rebel/baddie Btw love ur vids theyre very informative and practical ❤

What do I do if I have round… incredibly average eyes? My eyes are round, ok. They are “straight” (not up nor down turned), medium sized (not too big, not too small), and average spaced. There’s no “problem” for me to solve, I guess… but i suck at eye makeup regardless :\ I don’t have much lid space and they have a small hood, but nothing that would make them remarkable for that.

I have circular eyes

💐💜

What to do when my eyes are neither upturned not downturned they're kind of in the middle you can say I have : Width

With someone with an eye shape like Audrey Tatou, how would you apply eye makeup the most flattering way? I realized i am doing a similar thing with my eyebrows as her, but I can never figure out why my eye makeup never looks quite right.

I have strange and ugly eyes, can I show you my eyes and tell me the shape of my eyes? (sorry I use google translate)

I have round and upturned eyes. I'm confused 😢

❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have crease and eyelides touching down what type of eyeshape i have mam plsssssssssssssssssssssssss say

🎇

My eyes: Width < length Upturned Close set Less distance There's fat on my uoper eyelids

🤍

Its so hard to find influencers who have a epithantic fold

So I have almond , upturned eyes but they have lower visual weight. Lol I'm kinda disappointed

My eyes are round and almond...

My eyeshape is Gollum🥲

I still don't know what mine are! Can someone help me out in the comments? I have autism, so face characteristics don't come easy for me and they all look the same, lol. 😟

help i still cant figure out what is my eye shape 😂

Wow you are so cute

Small, downturned, hooded, asymetrical and wide set 😢
