Wide Set Eyes
These types of eyes are popular for the youngish look they give. And so, a strong make-up goes well with it.
Do not hesitate before applying a good amount of make-up at the outer corner. You can apply liner on the inner eye corners too.

Eye Makeup Tips: In order to create the illusion of wide set eyes, use a dark liner first and line the top and bottom lash line as much near to the inner eye as possible. Stay away from creating a heavy line all over the lid. Instead, start by making a thin line close to the tear duct, pull it toward the outer eye and create a thicker line as you pull. Towards the end, apply mascara to the lashes on your inner eye.
Close Set Eyes
These eyes are the exact opposite of wide set eyes as they are closer than one eye width apart. But yes, they give a sexy, sultry appeal such as the one on Jennifer Aniston and look great with winged liner.
If you have close set eyes, use intense colors preferably. In fact, you can use highlighter just below the outer corners of lower lashes to get a dramatic look.
Eye Makeup Tips: Use frosty white or nude color in the inner corner of the eye. This will make your eyes look bigger and farther apart. Also, apply more layers of mascara on outer lashes and lightly apply mascara on lashes closest to the inner eye.

Almond Eyes
Almond shaped eyes have been linked to a standard of beauty since times immemorial. Cleopatra had one. They are known to have balance and symmetry. In the current breed of celebs, Janet Jackson has almond-shaped eyes.
Eye Makeup Tips: This shape is the easiest for applying basic eye makeup. You can put eyeliner on your waterline, but avoid putting eyeshadow under, as it will make your eyes look smaller.
Eye Makeup Tips: Bold eye makeup suits hooded eyes, and so darker shades on eyelids should be used. Lighter colors will make your eyelids look baggier. Don’t neglect your lower lid and don’t try to over-highlight the brow bone.

Monolid Eyes
This is the opposite of hooded eyes. Most of the time, you can see the lid. In hooded eyes, they fold over the lid, whereas in a monolid, the fold is over just the lashline.

Lift it to the brow bone to create a highlight.

Protruding Eyes
These eyes are large, round and stand out. Should your eyes bulge a bit from their socket, then it means you have protruding eyes. Nichole Richie is a classic example of protruding eyes.
Eye Makeup Tips: Apply your eyeliner thicker toward the outer lid, and thinner towards the inner eye. To make it look less prominent, apply medium to dark shades of eyeshadow on your eyelid.
