How do I make eyeshadow stand out on my small eyelids.

If you want your shadows to be more pigmented then you should use a primer to make the colors stick better. And as for making them look deeper add darker shadows in your crease and blend upward but make sure not to go all the way up to your brow bone.

I do use darker on the crease, not shown on this pic. But when I look up, you can't really see the color anymore. So I think it just might be the shape of my eyelids. If I put too much upwards, it starts to look silly. Thanks for the advices though. I will defiantly try more on the crease..

There are plenty of videos on YouTube for placing eyeshadow for hooded eyes that can be applied to deep set eyes - instead of focusing on the lid - extend your shadows past your crease and apply shadow with your eyes open to ensure you can see it while your eyes are open

First things first. The picture you posted, that's person has deep set eyes and has a visible crease. Some people are lucky enough to have that. (Jealous🙍)

Apply a darker color on your crease and blend high enough to where it shows. Also add transition colors.

I think you have more of a hooded eye than deep set eyes

Us hooded eye girls have to stick together. I found wonderful videos on youtube. I don't go a day without using naked basics for my crease. I blend up and out a little

Check out the video for hooded eyes by Sonny. It's on YouTube, she's so great at explaining how to position shadow so it shows. Basically you need to create a 'fake' crease a little higher than your actual crease.
