Pale colours increase distance, dark colours decrease distance.
To increase the distance between close-set eyes, keep the intensity or depth of colour on the outer third of the eye. Contour most strongly on the outer third, tapering as needed over the middle of the eye. If your eyes are especially close together, don't extend past the middle 3rd. Keep your lightest or brightest shades for the inner V of the eye - a pop of sunny yellow or a slick of frosted white can help to visually push your eyes further apart. If you're comfortable with contouring, using a slightly paler shade of foundation or powder down the bridge of your nose to help broaden that area.
Good news for liquid liner fans - close-set almond or Asian eyes are those most suitable for doing flicks or cats eyes, as these will help extend your eye away from your nose.
Hope this helps someone!
