Deep-set eyes
Eyes that sit further back under the brow bone, so the lid is in shadow.
Deep-set eyes sit back within the eye sockets under a prominent brow bone, which shades the lid and can make the eyes look darker. The look comes from the shape of the skull and the fat around the eye. It is common among people of many backgrounds. Makeup artists often use lighter shades on the lid to bring the eyes forward, and opticians suggest frames that do not sit too close to the brow.
