So, keep the eye liner simple and add a slight flick towards the outer corners to make the eyes appear sharp and elongated.

Such eyes create an illusion of a prominent brow bone due to their placement on the face. The ends of the eyelashes tend to graze the lids as the eyes are large and set deeper into the skull. The ideal eyeliner look would be one where the liner starts at the outer section of the eyes. Try to line the eyes from the highest point of the curve extending it outwards into a wing. Don’t make the eyeliner too long or too thick as this would make your eyes look smaller. Steer clear of dark eye shadows and heavy mascara (use only waterproof) as this would obstruct the lift you’re looking for.
