Hooded eyes have a strong brow bone and an almost invisible crease. While this can be very beautiful, it does take some striking techniques in applying makeup to hooded eyes to really beautify them. This guide will teach you the ways of makeup for hooded eyes to assure you can always have a gorgeous look with it.
Understanding hooded eyes
Understanding the anatomy of hooded eyes forms the basis for learning ophthalmological and ocular makeup. This type of eye occurs when extra skin comes from under the brow bone and drops down to cover the crease and sometimes the upper eyelid; in such cases, it can cause the eyes to seem smaller or less defined. However, such makeup techniques can open and make beautiful eyes.
Prepping Your Canvas
Proper preparation makes makeup stay and look flawless. Here are steps to follow :
- Cleansing and Moisturising: Begin With a Clean Face and a Light Eye Cream to Hydrate the Area.
- Priming the Lids: Using Eye Primer Prevents Your Eyeshadow from Creasing and Makes Your Makeup Stay Put. It also intensifies the color of your eyeshadow.
Mastering Eyeshadow Application
Eyeshadow application is crucial for hooded eyes. Here’s how to do it:
- Choose the Right Colors: Opt for neutral tones for a natural look or bold shades for a dramatic effect.
- Define the crease : use a matte transition shade slightly above your natural crease to create the illusion of depth. This helps “lift” the eyes.
- Highlight the lid : apply a lighter shimmer shade on the mobile lid to make the eyes pop.
- Blend Upwards: Blend your eyeshadow upwards towards the brow bone to avoid a “droopy” effect.
- Outer Corner Definition: Use a darker shade at the outer corner to add dimension and elongate the eyes.
Perfecting Eyeliner for Hooded Eyes
So here are a few suggestions to help you line your hooded eyes:
- Tightline Your Eyes: Bringing an eyeliner pencil into the upper waterline to give the appearance of longer lashes without occupying much lid space.
- Avoid Thick Lines: use a thin line just above the lash line to prevent making the eyes look smaller.
- Winged liner : ajoutez un très fin trait qui s’étend vers l’extérieur, «soulevant» les yeux et gardant l’aile fine mais précise.
Accentuating Your Lashes
Lashes play a crucial role in enhancing hooded eyes:
- Curl Your Lashes: Use an eyelash curler to open up the eyes.
- Apply mascara strategically : focus on the outer lashes for a cat-eye effect.
- Use false lashes (optional) : opt for lashes with a longer outer edge to emphasize the eye shape.
Adding final touches
Pour finir le maquillage :
- Under the Brow Bone, Highlight: place a just-under-the-brow arch highlighter to elevate the brow area.
- Define Your Brows: Groomed brows create a frame for the eyes and, therefore, enhance their appearance.
- Set Make-Up: setting spray to hold the look for the day.
