The challenge of applying eyeshadow to hooded eyes comes from the fact that little to none of the eyelid is visible when the eye is open. So, it’s difficult to see eyeshadow on the eyelid. Below are some tips to making the most of your shadow if you have hooded eyes. Place the base powder or cream above the crease, thereby extending the color to a place where it can be seen. Apply a lighter shade from a neutral or nude eyeshadow palette beneath the brow to lighten, brighten and highlight the entire eye. You can also extend your shadow outward from the outward corners of each eye for a winged effect. Finally, apply with your eyes open rather than closed or half closed to get the best sense of the finished look.
