Let me get this straight, you have NO eyelids? That would mean that you'd have your empty eye socket, and then an eyeball just hanging there surrounded by bone.

Everyone has eyelids, dear. But I get what you mean. I'm Chinese, too, and I don't have deep set eyes, but at least I do have some sort of a crease.

I avoid harsh dark eyeliner because it makes my eyes look even smaller (and, plus the fact that I'd look like a whore, but that's besides the topic). If I were you, I'd avoid it at all costs. Unless you're going for an evening out and want to make it more dramatic. Even then, I'd avoid liner on the lower lashline and NEVER line around the entire eye.

Matte shadows look horrible on me. Sparkles are a little overboard. I go for something in the middle. I find that using a more shimmery, glistening cream shadow in a pale gray on my upper lids and the inner corners of my eyes really catches and reflects the light, and makes my eyes look bigger and more awake. Especially in the inner corners/tear ducts. It really helps.

I drew a picture on Paint because I was really bored, and also because I'm a visual learner.



The areas circled in red should have the highest concentration of colour. Notice how the upper lid is shaded so that it follows the contours of the brow bone. =)
