9 Amazing Makeup Tips For People With Hooded Eyes

Do you have hooded eyes? If so, you know how difficult it is to apply eye makeup. Half the time what you apply isn’t even visible and you’ve wasted precious time getting ready. Here are 9 useful tips for those of you with hooded eyes!

1. Winged Liner.

Using a cat-eye look will make your eyes look as if they are pulled up. If you have hooded eyes, you know that your eyes often look like they are being pulled down. You don’t want the liner to be too thick, or else your entire eyelash will be black. Emo isn’t what we’re going for here beauty babes.

2. Tight Line Your Upper Lash.

By using a tight line on your hooded eyes, you don’t waste lid space when creating a winged cat-eye.

3. Avoid Glitter and Shimmer Based Eyeshadow.

Shimmery eyeshadows used on your crease will create an effect that goes against your hooded eyes. It will make you look more tired! Big no-no!

4. Use Matte Shadows.

Instead of those shimmery eyeshadows, use matte based shades to create the appearance of bigger eyes. Make sure to use the matte shades above your create.

5. Cut-Crease Eyeshadow.

This cut-crease look will give you the appearance of having a higher crease. As we know, for hooded eyes, is totally not the case.
