The mistake lies in the application of eyeshadow, specifically when the outer corners of the eyes are colored all the way to the end of the crease.
Here’s a photo example to illustrate:
In the photo above, it is clear that this application of eyeshadow only visually accentuates the hooded eyelid and the drooping outer corners of the eyes.
While shades like these are meant to conceal such imperfections, when dealing with hooded eyelids, eyeshadow should never be applied below the line of the lower eyelid. The line of the lower eyelid should continue without interruption into the outer corner.
To achieve this, you should:
Avoid making sharp lines in the outer corners of the eyes.
Not use overly dark lines in the corners of the eyes.
After all, you don’t walk around all day with a blank expression; everyone has facial expressions. When you smile, all the sharp and dark lines in the outer corners of your eyes become distorted, which looks unattractive.
Now I’ll show a comparative view of how the eyes can visually suffer, emphasizing all the wrong features if this eyeshadow application mistake is made.
And here’s how it should actually look.
