Hey everyone! I've been trying to learn makeup techniques/application and the biggest issue I have is eye makeup. Everytime I try to do my eyeshadow, it looks odd because I have large eyelids. Idk how to describe it exactly. I have a lot of space between my crease and my eyebrow. I'm not weird looking or anything but this makes applying eyeshadow difficult. Do any of you beauties have any suggestions on makeup looks or how to apply shadow without looking like a drag queen? (not that I have an issue with queens- they are amazing!!) See pic for reference. Thanks!!

You have beautiful eyes. To apply eyeshadow without looking like a drag queen is not that hard. I would use more highlight and less colour all over the eyes. Since you have large eyelids, try to apply the colour eyeshadow on the eyelids only and then blend them out with lighter eyeshadow. I hope you understand what I mean :~

You are beautiful first of all! I think if you used matte flesh tone colors above your crease in combination with any other shadow look your going for whether colorful or neutral, it'll help give a nice transition without looking drag like! Lol.

Omg I wish my eyelids have that much space to play with eye make up... but don't get to excited thou... you look pretty you should try with to higlight most of eyelid with a matte eyeshadow and with some color close to the eye to enhance those beautiful eyes that you have I don't know that's what I think it will good.

Look up Nicole guerriero on yourube. she has large lids as well. many Times has she used two eyeshadow colors and made them look phenomenal. a simple highlights all over the crease, a neutral shade for the crease and any shade on the outer corner would look great.
