This eye makeup map shows the different areas of the eye where eye shadow (and eye liner) can be applied.
I took a picture of my eye without any makeup and used Photoshop to paint in the areas of the eye that I refer to in my Looks and Techniques pages.
For the lid section, it refers to the entire lid area colored in light pink (it can also extend to the outer V area). Sometimes I have looks where I apply one color to the “center lid” only, which is also called the “ball of the eye”. If you look straight in the mirror, the center lid will be as wide as your iris (the colored part of your eye).
For several of my looks, when I apply a color to the outer V, I usually blend the same color inwards along the contour/crease with a fluffy blending brush.
The sections labeled upper lashline, waterline, and lower lashline are areas where you can line your eye with an eye pencil, gel liner, or even eye shadow.
The inner corner and tear duct are great places to put a white shimmery color to brighten up the eyes.
Study this map and learn the different terms, and it’ll be easy to follow along with the Looks I post on this site!

Thanks Ana Mae!
This is extremely helpful, I was always confused on what the lid was. I thought it was the whole eye part that wasn’t the crease, and I thought the crease was the lid. D:
Hi Diary of a Beauty Junkie,
I’m glad you found this helpful! Sometimes in my Look posts I refer to the lid as “lower lid”, meaning the bottom half of the entire eye area (that includes the highlight/brow bone). “Lid” or “lower lid” is just the area under the crease. When I apply eye primer, I usually just say that I put it on my “entire lid”, which just means I put it on the entire eye area including the highlight/brow bone.
Wow Wycee! I approach across your site when googling how to nose contour… But I stayed for your awesome technique! Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
