If you have widely spaced eyes, make them look closer by drawing your eyebrows in nearer together, extending eyeliner beyond the inner corners of your eyes and blend in eye shadow towards the nose.
Anyone over 18 should avoid wearing foundation at the outer corner of the eye where it bunches up into lines: just dust with powder instead. The first step in applying the eye shadow is to apply a neutral concealer that matches your skin tone on the eyelid and then sweep the lightest shade over the entire area from the lash line to the brow line to create the smudge resistant base.

Do remember a couple of things. Apply under eye concealer right after you have moisturized your face but before you put on your foundation. And for constant shadows under the eyes, try to get more sleep. Doctors say that the vast majority of the circles people develop under their eyes are from lack of sleep. If your circles are a result of a sinus problem or other medical condition, don't just conceal and ignore them.
For under eye puffiness, use a highlighter or your light foundation underneath your eyes to refract light and make it look as if your "under eye" area is even with your face; again, an optical illusion.
