eye socket

Don't have time to provide you web site, but I've seen it used in terms of where to apply eye shadow. Like you use a lighter shade all-over eye shadow for the eye socket area and use darker, more distinctive colors plus eye liner on your eye lid.

eye hollows

According to 英辞郎, "目のくぼみ" is "hollows around the eyes" or "hollows of one's eyes", but, apparently, they are too explanatory. Instead, I suggest "eye hollows" or "eye hollow". There are 54 examples of "eye hollows" in Google.
