Eyeshadow Placement is a placement technique, not a product — the same shades applied in different zones produce completely different results depending on face shape. On a diamond face, a diamond face narrows at both the forehead and the jaw while flaring dramatically at the cheekbones — the opposite structure of a rectangle. the chin is often pointed, and the temples can appear slightly recessed relative to the cheekbone's width.
Technique
Technique: Darker shades applied to the outer corner or crease and blended inward or outward to visually widen, elongate, or round the eye shape itself.
The Goal on This Shape
The goal on this shape: Shift the eye's apparent shape and spacing to complement the face's overall proportions For a diamond face specifically, that means working with the fact that narrow, often the narrowest of the three width measurements at the top and narrow, tapering to match the forehead's width at the bottom — eyeshadow placement is one of the few tools that can adjust that relationship without any permanent change.
Where to Apply It
Where to apply it: Soften and add visual width at the forehead and jaw to bring them closer to the cheekbone's width, while avoiding extra volume directly at cheekbone height, which is already the face's widest point. Concentrate the technique on whichever measurement is currently working against that goal, and use a light hand — placement makes the difference here, not product quantity.
