Hooded eyes means that the eyelid is fully or almost fully covered by skin beneath the brow bone when your eyes are open. It is a common and beautiful facial feature that many people have, and it is often associated with a naturally alluring gaze. The most popular eyeliner techniques do, however, frequently need to be adapted to show up and create the right effect on this particular eye shape. Here is how you do it.
Step by step
- Start by marking a small dot where you want the wing to end. This gives you a clear guideline to work towards.
- Draw a line connecting the outer corner of your eye to the dot. For hooded eyes, the line may need to be drawn slightly lower than usual so it is visible when your eyes are open.
- Keep your eyes open and draw a line connecting the wing to the lash line. It is important to do this with your eyes open so you can see how the line actually looks when you are wearing it.
- Connect the line to the lash line and fill in any gap that forms between the two lines.
- Finish by filling in along the lash line from the inner corner of the eye to roughly the middle of the eyelid. Keep the line as straight as possible for a clean, defined result.
You now have an eyeliner look that actually shows up on hooded eyes. Remember that makeup is meant to be fun, and the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident in your look.
