Makeup tips look different in every eye shape, with slight variations and final looks. This shouldn’t be a discouragement for those with hooded eyes, thus we gathered the best makeup tips for hooded eyes.

Keep reading to find out the best way to make your eyes look incredible and achieve a magnificent look.

What Is A Hooded Eye?

Hooded eyes are a condition in which the soft tissue and excess skin around the eyebrows cover the eyelid, leaving a visible crease (1). People can have this eye shape since birth or develop it throughout their life.

It usually affects both eyes but you can develop one hooded eye only too. Over time, the condition can increase as the elasticity in your skin decreases and the formation of wrinkles increases.

3 Makeup Tips For Hooded Eyes

There are many makeup tips for hooded eyes to help you achieve an elegant look, even for your day-to-day makeup. Here we gathered the top 3 that have to do with the main struggles people with hooded eyes have.

• Invest in a good eye primer. If you have hooded eyes you might notice that your eyeshadow tends to crease and smudge more frequently, therefore investing in a great eye primer is essential.
• Apply eyeshadow with your eyes open. Unlike what many people might find useful, applying eyeshadow, and even doing the final part of your eyeliner, with your eyes open is a great way to find your natural crease and adjust your makeup to it.
  
  Pro tip: create a new crease just above the natural fold of your eye to create an extended and fierce look.
• Shape your eyebrows differently. The shape of your eyebrows plays a key role in your makeup look, and if you have hooded eyes it is recommended that you keep a slight arch under the brow bone to “open your gaze”. For those who don’t have a lot of hairs in their eyebrows, microblading is a great option to achieve that full and arched brow.

How Eyebrow Shapes Can Make Or Break A Makeup Look

Your eyebrows shape your face and can make or break a makeup look. If your brows are too arched or too thin, they can change how you look and how you’re perceived. If they’re too thick and straight they can make your eyes look smaller.

What’s more, how further apart they are from each other and many other factors contribute to choosing the right eyebrow shape. Consulting an expert is crucial in this decision process to decide how to shape your face and balance your look.
