8 Next-Level Beauty Tips We Learned From Celebrity Makeup Artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua

From the deep-set eyes to monolids, there's so much variety with eye shape. To create the perfect shadow shape customized to your own eyes, Yoshimoto Bua recommends using your own face structure (and eyeball, even) as a guide. For shadow above the lid, she says you should "kind of go with the contour of the eye," feeling for where your eyeball ends.

As for creating wings, she recommends drawing an imaginary line from the "tip of your nose to the end of your eyebrow" to find out how far to wing out your eye makeup (as she explains, any farther than that and you're drawing on bone, which can mess with the shape). She also notes that it's often most flattering to "go straight out and lift it a little" with your shadow or liner, so your eyes don't get "dragged down."
