How to Apply Makeup to Wide-Set Eyes
Here are the basic elements of applying makeup to wide-set eyes with the goal of trying to make them look like they are closer together.
You will darken the inside hollows of your eye- this is the area that is next to the bridge of your nose. Darker colors helps push back this area, making your eyes look closer together. To accomplish this, you will start with applying a darker color slightly in from the outer corners of your eye and then blend the eye shadow inwards and up. This is just the opposite from most other application techniques, which has you sweep the eye colors from the inside eye area to the outer area of the eye.
There are usually three shades of eyeshadow that are used for eye makeup application. The lightest shade is the highlight. The medium shade is the midtone. The darkest shade is the accent.

You will apply the highlight shade to the browbone and the eyelid. The midtone shade is applied starting from the outer corner of the crease and sweep the color towards the inside corner of your eye. You will concentrate this sweeping motion to the inside corner to help deepen the color. This helps draw the eyes closer together.
Lastly, the accent shade is applied starting slightly in from the outer corner. You will brush this darkest shade across the upper lash line and then up into the crease of your eye. You can also apply this darkest shade underneath the lower lash line, but you must keep the color within the lash line's boundaries. Extending the color further out than that will pull the eyes back apart again.
