Bet on light colors in the eye shadows and in the blush and your look will have the appearance of being illuminated and proportioned with the rest of the face.

Always use a makeup primer
Before putting makeup on the sunken eyes, we will use a primer with which we will unify the eyelid. This will also make the makeup last intact from morning to night. With the help of a small brush or your fingertips, apply the makeup primer to both eyelids. Once you have it ready, wait a few moments for the skin to absorb it well.
You should know that to give the same uniformity to the skin of the face it is very helpful to use a specific makeup primer for the skin. That and choose the makeups similar as possible to the skin color of each one. Only having well-groomed and well-made-up skin will we be able to perfectly make up sunken eyes. By the way, if you have run out of primer for the eyelid, use the little trick of putting a little base of your make up in said area. Works!

Shadows for sunken eyes, which one to choose?
- Let’s go back to the subject of the primer on the eyelid, you have already put it on and it has already absorbed. What to do now? Well put anon the eyelid. It is worth that you are going to choose one color or another depending on the occasion, for example, matte tones to go to the office, vibrant colors with glitter included for the night, but it is true that when you have deep-set eyes you have to follow a series of norms. The first, the one we have seen before, the light colors are the most appropriate for you because they are the ones that give the greatest luminosity and the greatest sensation of volume to this area. Also use that same light-colored eye shadow under the eyebrows to lift and illuminate your eyes.
- Apply the shade you have chosen, for example beige, on the brow bone and the mobile eyelid. On the crease of the eye and the fixed eyelid we will use a slightly darker tone without being completely dark, the key is that, thanks to the contrast of the two shadows, the eye acquires the exact depth it needs to hide the effect sunken eyes.

Correct your dark circles
If you have sunken eyes you probably also have dark circles, which make the eye feel more sunken. To avoid this, use your dark circles concealer (a shade lighter than your skin tone) in the first half starting from the tear duct. Apply a small amount and dab lightly with your fingertips so that it penetrates well into the skin. Remember that the concealer is only put on this first half of the dark circles, never on the second and, of course, never on the bags under the eyes.

Trace the line of the eye on the outside
To outline the line of the eye, the best thing to do is to do it only on the outer part of the eyelash line, the aim is to lengthen and open the eye as much as possible. The usual black pencil can be too dark for deep-set eyes; our personal advice is to change it to an earthy brown. You will see how beautiful it looks on you!
You should know that white eyeliner has a lot to say in deep-set eye makeup. So much so that there are many who use it on the inside of the eye to achieve a brighter look.

Make up your eyelashes to dress the eye
- As for the mascara, remember that it is basic to dress the eye. Apply more quantity to the ends of the lashes, leaving the central part a little freer. It goes without saying that the mask must be of quality so that there are no lumps.
- If you are looking for the best makeup in the world, use an illuminating pencil only on the lower water line. Luminosity is always a key point when it comes to giving intensity to sunken eyes, with this simple stylist trick you will get them like a charm.

And for the eyebrows… May they always be bushy
The eyebrows have the role of framing the look and giving it expression, especially in the case of deep-set eyes that need extra intensity. Shape your eyebrows so that they are not very angular but rather straight, it will be so that you can bring balance to your look. Make up with a chocolate brown pencil so that they are thick and there are no blank spaces. Don’t make the mistake of marking your eyebrows too much. This could make your look heavy and unnatural.

Choose your lipstick well
Once we have our makeup almost complete, we only have to choose the best lipstick. As with eye shadows, the color of the lipstick must be chosen according to the style of each one but, especially, the situation in which it is going to be worn.
