I have SHORT EYELIDS, plus there is VERY LITTLE SPACE in that area from my eyes up to my eyebrows... so is eyeshadow still possible? I see all these women walking around with larger eyelids and lots of space between their eyes & brows, and they look GREAT with shadow... sigh.
(Eyes=sea gray/blue/green, Hair=dark brown, Skin=very fair)

Please Note: I have naturally well-shaped, but definitely sparse eyebrows... so I have no interest in waxing or plucking them. Thanks. =)

you'll be fine without it.

i have the same problem. i usually use an eyeshadow that is very light, like a shimmery sand colored shade. go with anything light. stila and chanel have really nice eye shadows. a darker shadow will make your eyes look smaller and won't help at all. you can also just go with the natural look and not wear any eye shadow which also looks good.

Don't wear eyeshadow! I don't and I love my look! Just try some eye-liner or masciera (srry bout my spelling!) or both if it looks good! Good luck and... well... I saw this the last time you posted it! Same type of question by same username! lol. Coincidence! I think u will look hot if you try that out. You must have amazing eyes! I bet you r real beautiful, good luck w/ your problem! hope you look good w/ or without eyeshadow, whatever you choose! : ) smiles from me!

when putting on eyeshadow, you don't need to go up to the eyebrows, you just apply on the eyelid. It looks way naturaler and way better

Try having you eyebrows waxed it opens up the eye more.

you don't need to give up on eyeshadow, you just need to apply differently then people with large lids. here's my advise go to the mall and go the clinique counter, or lancome, or whatever you prefer and ask them to show you how to apply your eyeshadow to flatter your face, they're proffesionals, and it's free, you might also get some good color ideas while you're there

TRY THE FINER SHADOW PENCILS...EVEN THE WETN WILD ONES WORK IT ITS SHARPENED....A TINY LINE AT THE LASHES AND JUST SMUDE IT AROUND A BIT AND OUT A LITTLE AT THE CORNER....IF YOU LIKE IT ALOT JUST DO WHATEVER LITTLE BIT YOU CAN AND GO OVER IT WITH A TINY SPONGE TIP STICK TO SMOOTH IT UP TOWARD YOUR BROWS... THE NEW AVON THIN THIN SKIMMER STICKS WORK WELL TOO

I have the same problem, but one thing you can do is wear eyeliner (black or colored, depending) on your top lids. You can smudge it too. It's thinner than eyeshadow and stays on longer, it also makes your eyes POP.
Have fun experimenting and good luck! =)

yes, this season its all about de-emphasizing the eyes and accentchuating the lips and natural looking makeup tones

Don't worry about it. Tanner people don't need eyeshadow, so instead consider getting a tan at the beach or Hollywood tans or something.
