Have you ever tried a new makeup look that just didn’t look right on you, but looks amazing on a friend?  Smashbox Makeup’s new campaign to promote their Full Exposure Palette reveals something you may have never thought about before: your eye shape matters when it comes to your eye shadow! Just as every girl should know what dress shape flatters her body best, you should also be aware of the shadow look that best flatters your eye shape! Tyra could definitely use some help in understanding her eye shape in order to create a more flattering smudged smoky eye…

Experts at Smashbox have identified six of the most common eye shapes: almond, round, upturned, downturned, monolid, and hooded.  No matter which shape you were blessed with, you can create a beautiful look for any occasion—it just all depends on how you apply the colors.  Not sure which shape you are?  You can visit www.smashboxfullexposure.com/quizzes/1#  to take the quiz!  Once you find your eye shape, visit the official Smashbox YouTube page for tutorials specialized for your shape.

The sleek shadow palette includes seven gorgeous neutral matte shades, and seven complimenting shimmer colors.  The package includes a double-ended full-sized brush, sample-sized Full Exposure mascara, and a “how-to” insert for creating the best day, night, and defined look for your specific eye shape.

Ready for the best part? You can enter to win one of these palettes, retailing at $49, for FREE by posting a selfie showing off your eye shape via social media! They accept submissions from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pintrest, or directly to their website.  All you have to do is use the hashtag #SHAPEMATTERS to enter the giveaway! Full details can be found at http://www.smashboxfullexposure.com/contest.  Don’t forget to check out the contest rules! And don’t worry, you have plenty of time to enter!  Happy selfie posting, make sure to also hashtag which eye shape you have after taking the quiz!
