You have hooded eyes if ... The natural crease of your eye is hidden by an extra layer of skin that hangs down.
Think: Chanel Iman
The challenge: "Lids tend to look heavy and partly closed," says Taylor. Shadows, especially those blended into the crease, also get lost because your upper eyelids is partially covered.
Your makeup look: Apply and blend shadow vertically past the crease to open them up. Tightline your top waterline to make your eyes appear bigger, and use mascara to thicken the base of your top lashes, which may also be hidden.

You have downturned eyes if ... Instead of pointing upwards or straight out, your eyes turn downward slightly at the outer corners.
Think: Corinne Bailey Ray
The challenge: Since the outer corners droop, eyeliner on the upper lids often falls flat and the overall eye shape quickly gets lost.
Your makeup look: To give your eyes more lift, skip eyeliner on the lower lashline. Instead, draw a thick, bold line along the upper lid, flicking the end up like a smiley face. "Your eyes were made to wear winged and cat eye looks," says Taylor.

You have upturned eyes if ... You have a visible lid and a classic almond shape; the outer corner of your eyes point upwards.
Think: Tiffany Hines
The challenge: Your lower lashline looks longer than the upper lashline, which throws their symmetry off.
Your makeup look: To even out the top and bottom proportions, apply dark shadow or eyeliner to the outer corners of the eye. "This will minimize the lifted effect," Taylor explains.

You have close set eyes if ... The space between your eyes is smaller than the width of one eye.
Think: Jennifer Aniston
The challenge: Eyes can appear, well, too close together, making the face feel unbalanced.
Your makeup look: To give the illusion that your eyes are farther apart, start your eyeliner (the darker the better) at the middle of the upper lid and extend it out past your eye in a straight line to create space. Do the same on your lower lashline meeting up with your upper liner once you reach the outer corner. "This will draw attention to the outer corners of your eyes," says Taylor. Apply a light-colored eye shadows with screen or pearl in white, pink, or nude to the inner corner to make your eyes seem bigger, wider and farther apart.

You have wide set eyes if ... Your eyes are more than the width of one eye apart.
Think: Brandy
The challenge: Eyes look ... you guessed it ... far apart
Your makeup look: Use a liner to rim both your top and bottom lashline, including the inner tear duct to bring eyes closer together. "Be sure to pay special attention to the baby lashes on your inner eye," Taylor adds.
