How to Apply Eye Shadow if You Have a Monolid
Typically associated with Asian eyes, this eye shape has a completely different anatomy, since there's no crease and the whole lid is flat. While it can be challenging to create definition, this shape can actually reflect color differently, so even using only one or two shades can end up looking very multi-dimensional, says Hughes, as is the case with this look.

Recreate The Look: Work the light gold eye shadow (top) around the bottom lash line, on the inner corners, and along the brow bone. Next, press the rose gold hue (bottom right) all over the lid, working up to the brow bone. Focus on applying slightly more color closer to the lash line to create a gradated, almost ombré effect on the lid. As with hooded lids, be sure to check and see how the shadow looks with your eyes both open and closed.
