hooded eyes look no further

We assure you that this is not at all sinister or enigmatic. It's just a shape of the eye. Just like some people have brown eyes and other people blue, green or hazel; however some people have hooded eyes while others have almond-shaped eyes. The way you apply eye makeup depends on the shape of your eyes, just as your eye color affects the shades of shadow you use. The unique definition to hooded eye shapes arises from the absence of a distinct crease.

EYESHADOW

Use a primer:
A gripping eyeshadow primer, such as the Nars Pro Prime Smudge-Proof Eyeshadow Base should be used as a foundation. If you want, you can also use concealer as a primer.

Apply eyeshadow:
Always start with a deep color for the crease. Apply this shade and buff it into the eye's crease. When you have hooded eyes, it's usually hard to really see what's going on with the lid. Therefore, you should go slightly beyond your natural crease.

Pigments:
When applying eyeshadow for hooded eyes, you should look forward because if you look down or to the side, you won't see the effect when the eyes are open. Therefore, try to always look ahead. Using a flat brush, apply pigment to the rest of the lid—not just the crease—and buff away any obvious lines with a fluffy, dome-shaped eyeshadow brush to complete the look.

Make a Crease of Your Own:
After buffing your initial eyeshadow layer, going back into your crease with more deep shaded pigment for hooded eye shapes. The trick is this: You absolutely need to come up with your own crease. If you were to go into my your natural crease, it would be to low, and no one would see it. Therefore, you will need to create a faux crease and carry the color slightly higher.

Add a hint of color:
Last but not least, highlight the inner corners of the eyes with a pop of a lighter, brighter eyeshadow to help open up the eyes and lift the lid (hooded eye shapes typically have a "heavier" lid).


EYELINER

Brace yourself and look down:
You want to look down into a mirror, and use a very fine-tipped liquid eyeliner. Use your pinky finger as a brace by placing it on top of the cheekbone to secure yourself in creating the ideal liner.

Apply the liner:
Do not use small simultaneous strokes when applying liner, you want to create one line in a continuous sweep. Take your time and get as close as you can to the lash line. You can also make a small wing line if you want to. Keep in mind the problem with winged liner and hooded eyes is that sometimes you have to make an additional dip to see it. Therefore, you can connect the tip of the line to the top of your lashes by drawing a very thin line.

Clean up:
Sharpen the wing with a cotton round or cotton swab dipped in makeup remover. Additionally, clean the area under the eyes where eyeshadow may have fallen during application.


MASCARA
Give your lashes some vavoom with a volumizing mascara to complete your look. Start at the top and add as many layers as you can. Lightly tap a tiny amount of loose glitter or glitter eyeshadow where you applied lighter eyeshadow color on the inner corners of the eyes if you wanted to add a little more fun to this look.​
