Makeup for Hooded Eyes
Hooded eyes have a fold that covers part of the lid when open. These tutorials use techniques like transition-shade placement above the crease, thin liner, and lash-focused looks to make your eyes appear more open and defined.
Tips
- Apply eyeshadow with eyes open so you can see the placement on your visible lid space.
- Blend the transition shade above your natural crease so it's visible when your eyes are open.
- Use thin liner or tightline instead of a thick wing that gets hidden in the fold.
- Curled lashes and volumizing mascara open up hooded eyes more than any other step.
- Avoid heavy shimmer on the hood—use matte or satin shades in the crease and shimmer on the center lid only.
