Mastering Makeup for Hooded Eyes for a brighter, lifted look is simple with the following expert tips and tricks. Hooded eyes are characterized by a deeply set shape, resulting in a prominent brow bone and an almost invisible eyelid. This natural shape is also common in mature eyes when the skin from the brow bone begins to cover the eyelid. Here are a few expert tips to tweak your makeup strategy and visually lift and brighten hooded eyes. It’s all in the details.
Prep the Eyelids
Start with a smooth base. Prep the eyelids with Perfect Prep Primer from lash lines to browbones.
Apply Flawless Finish Liquid Foundation to the eyelids using the Flawless Blending Sponge to create a smooth canvas. Set it with Perfect Finish Dual Action Powder using a dry powder brush.
Choosing the Right Eyeshadow Palette
Opt for a Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette in warm Earthy Nudes or cool Petal Nudes. For a guided look, check out our training video featuring the Petal Nudes palette.
Step-by-Step Eyeshadow Application
Create a New Crease
Using the fluffy end of the Dual-Ended Eyeshadow Brush, apply Shade E slightly above the natural creases. This helps create the illusion of higher creases and adds depth.
Highlight the Inner Corners
Apply Shade D on the inside corners of the eyelids using the fluffy end of the Dual-Ended Eyeshadow Brush.
Add Dimension to the Outer “Vs”
Using the precision end of the Dual-Ended Eyeshadow Brush, apply Shade F to the outer “Vs” of the eyes above the creases to create dimension and lift. Blend well using the fluffy end of the brush.
Highlight the Browbone
Use the flat side of the Flat, Rounded Eyeshadow Brush from the 5-Piece Brush Set to apply Shade A close to the brows underneath the browbones to create the illusion of lift.
Finishing Touches
XTREME VOLUME Primer & Mascara
Apply XTREME VOLUME Primer and Mascara to the top lashes, concentrating on the outer lashes for a lifting effect.
Perfect Eyebrow Pencil
Use the Perfect Eyebrow Pencil to draw the ends of the eyebrows out at the same height as the beginning of the brows. Drawing them lower can make the eyes appear smaller.
