Makeup for Hooded Eyes: Techniques and Tips

Let's start with the basics: flawless base. Begin with a good eye moisturizer and a specific primer for the eyelids. This will create a smooth and even canvas for your makeup. Make sure to apply the primer even on the hooded crease to prevent makeup from accumulating in the folds.
Matte finish eyeshadows are your best friends when it comes to hooded eyes makeup. Avoid overly shiny or sparkly shades on the mobile eyelid, as they can emphasize the hooded fold. Instead, opt for matte shades that will create a sense of depth without adding unwanted shine.
To create the illusion of larger and less hooded eyes, use a dark eyeshadow shade to define the hooded crease. Apply the eyeshadow in the crease itself and blend it outwards and towards the eyebrow. This trick will help create the illusion of a higher and more open crease.

To counteract the depth created by the dark eyeshadow, apply a light eyeshadow shade or a highlighter under the eyebrow arch. This highlight will give your eyes a more open and widened appearance. Eyebrows play a crucial role. Well-defined brows can help balance the look of hooded eyes. Make sure your eyebrows are well-groomed and defined with an eyebrow pencil or gel.
Use a light pencil on the inner rim of the eye to enlarge the gaze. The brightness from the pencil and the light eyeshadow under the eyebrow arch will make the gaze more open and less heavy.
