Makeup for Hooded Eyes
How do you apply makeup to hooded eyes correctly? Normally, eye makeup focuses on the mobile lid, but with hooded eyes, this area is partially covered by the upper lid.
Step by step, we’ll show you how to visually conceal hooded eyes and make your eyes appear bigger.
Define and set the brows upward to create a visual lifting effect for hooded eyes.
Place light and dark eyeshadow shades strategically to visually lift the crease.
Apply eyeliner thinly, precisely, and close to the lash line to make the eyes appear more open.
Use a Mascara Base and a lengthening mascara to open up the eyes and make hooded lids appear less noticeable.
Step by Step
Define your eyebrows
Fill in any gaps in your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil.
Then use a gel to keep your eyebrows in place for longer.
Light eyeshadow
Apply an eyeshadow primer to your lids before your eye makeup to increase the longevity and intensity of your eyeshadow.
Then apply an eyeshadow in a shade similar to your skin tone to your entire eyelid, corners of your eyes and your lower lid. Applying a matte eyeshadow the color of your skin tone makes blending darker matte shades easier.
Intensifying
Start applying the darker eyeshadow at the end point of your natural lid crease.
Highlight your eye crease, your eyelid curve and the lower eyelid.
EXPERT TIP
A smoky look makes your eyes appear more open and bigger. Finish off the smoky shading using the All In One brush while looking directly in the mirror with open eyes.
