If you’ve read our guide to different eye shapes, then you’ll know that when it comes to eye makeup, it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you have hooded eyes or round eyes, you can always adapt makeup looks to make them work best for you, but sometimes it can be difficult to work out exactly how to do this. That’s where we come in.
As junior beauty editor at Who What Wear UK, I am lucky enough to speak to a range of talented makeup artists on a daily basis who are experts in their field, and find out all of the makeup tips and tricks that you want to know. Recently, my friend with almond-shaped eyes asked me how she could tailor her makeup to help accentuate her eye shape, so I reached out to none other than Dior Makeup UK Pro Artist, Jamie Coombes, to find out everything there is to know about almond eyes.
As explained by Coombes, “almond eyes are typically oval-shaped with elongated narrow corners.” This eye shape is usually quite balanced and symmetrical, so Coombes says that they can suit most eye makeup looks, from feline eyes to bright and colourful eyeshadows. That being said, I asked Coombes to share his top three eye makeup looks for almond eyes, so keep on scrolling to find out exactly how to recreate each one.
