Best makeup for hooded eyes
What are hooded eyes?
"Have you ever done your eyeshadow and then as soon as you open your eyes you can’t see it anymore? Chances are that you have hooded eyes," says Adeola. This is where you have an extra fold of skin that covers your crease.
How to accentuate them?
"Priming and setting with powder is key to keep makeup in place as hooded eyes tend to smudge," says Lan.
"When applying eye makeup keep the eyes open to find the natural crease," adds Lan. "Use a compact mirror and look down into it," agrees Adeola. Then, "place the shadow slightly above the crease as opposed to the fold of the eye. This way the colour doesn’t get lost," says Lan.
And make sure you apply shadow to the bottom lashes as well as the top, "this will keep it balanced," Lan explains. "And blend the shadow straight outwards, rather than dragging up or down on the outer edges."
"Eyeliner is key with hooded eyes as with limited lid space you need to make the most of lash line and create definition," says Adeola. "I love to tight line by applying liner to the upper lash line and ensuring there are no gaps in between." Zara agrees. "This will instantly thicken the look of lashes and help to define the lash line without taking over the lid space."
"A sparkle shadow is very complimentary on a hooded eye as it brings brightness without over powering the lid with shadow pigment," says Zara. Finally, "lots of mascara is a must, too," says Adeola. But, "use waterproof mascara to avoid smudging," Lan advises .
