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.

You have deep set eyes if ... Your eyes are large and set deeper into the skull. You also have very prominent brow bones.
Think: Julianne Moore
The challenge: Prominent brows create minimal eyelid space; eyelashes get lost; and smoky eyes make eyes appear smaller.
Your makeup look: Open up eyes with shadows that have beige, nude or pink undertones (depending on your skin tone) and smudge liner close to lashline to enhance lashes.

You have monolid eyes if ... The surface of your eyelid is flat and there is little crease, if any.
Think: Lucy Liu
The Challenge: It's difficult to create definition for looks like smoky eyes.
Your makeup look: Try a gradient of eye shadows, starting with the darkest shade closest to your lashline and fading out as your reach your brow bone to create dimension.

You have protruding eyes if ... You have large, round eyes that stand out, a deep crease and the appearance of projected lids.
Think: Mya
The challenge: Prominent lids can make many eye makeup looks seem overdone.
Your makeup look: Skip eyeliner altogether on the upper lid. "It can be too intense," says Taylor. Instead, use eye shadow to create soft definition. Using an angled brush, keep the line thinner toward the inner eye and thicker as your reach the end of the eye to reduce space on projected lids.
