Q: Can I use liquid liner on almond eyes?

A: Absolutely. Liquid liner provides a sharper "flick" which works beautifully with the almond's outer point.

Q: How do I know if I have almond eyes?

A: Look in the mirror. If your iris touches the top and bottom lids and your eyes taper at the ends, you likely have an almond shape.

Q: Which eyeshadow colours suit almond eyes best?

A: The Lakmē Rouge Bloom Eyeshadow Pro-Palette offers berries and earths that work universally, but gold and bronze are particularly striking for this shape.

Q: How can I make almond eyes look larger?

A: To create a more "open" look, avoid thick, heavy liner across the entire upper lid. Instead, apply a thin line that gradually thickens towards the outer corner. Additionally, use a nude or white pencil on the lower waterline; this creates the illusion of more white space, making the eyes appear wider and more awake while maintaining their elegant length.

Q: Does the "Cat Eye" look suit everyone with almond shaped eyes?

A: While the cat eye is often considered the "gold standard" for this shape, it depends on your specific brow bone structure and eyelid space. If you have "deep-set" almond eyes, a traditional sharp wing might get lost in the fold. In this case, a "bat-wing" liner technique or a soft, blended wing using the Lakmē Rouge Bloom Eyeshadow Pro-Palette is often more flattering than a harsh liquid line.
