Different eye types has different depth in the crease of eye and the eye makeup should be such that the Eye Crease is shown properly.

Crease of Eye – Makeup for Different types

1. Higher crease type

Here the eyes have higher crease, famous celebrities like Jessica Alba and Jennifer Aniston has this type of high crease eyes. The crease is so high that, sometimes the eye sits into the socket and the visibility of brow bone and crease is not entirely clear. Both just coincide sometimes. Mainly Caucasians have this type of creased eye. You can relate to this style as the common Indian Eye Crease style also.

Tips (Shadow application technique):

Let’s say you got three colors two versions of a color of your choice (say brown) and a silver highlighter . So we have a light version of brown, a deep version of  brown and a highlighter silver shadow. Do the lighter version of brown on to whole of the lid. Then do the darker version on to the crease, do not fade upwards into the brow bone. Keep the demarcation alive. Now with the silver high lighter do the brow bone area.

2. Hooded crease

This is an Asian crease type of eye. The crease is small and less visible here, mostly falls on to the eyelid. Sometimes it seems there is no crease at all. Lucy Liu is an actress who has this type of eye crease.

Tips (Shadow application technique) :

Here we need to follow what is called the gradient technique. Say we have three colors, a dark version of black, a lighter greyish version and a silver highlighter. Start off at the lash line to half center in a horizontal way, shade up the lid. Next take the greyish version and do the rest half of the lid in horizontal path. Do not go into the crease. Now again take the darker shade and do the crease and face into the brow bone area leaving just a little bit below the brow to just show a little bit of brow bone. Use the silver high lighter here. Use liner in a deep manner on the upper lid and in a simple line on the lower rim.

3. Monolid crease

This is also another Asian crease type of eye. You can understand the type, and it’s difference if you carefully see actress Sandra Oh of Grey’s anatomy. The crease here doesn’t really fall onto the eye lid.

Tips (Shadow application technique) :

Here we follow the same technique as above, the gradient technique with 2 colors and 1 highlighter but here we do not go too much into the brow bone with the darker shadow that you are applying. Here leave the brow bone a little more than in the Hooded Type!
