Hooded eyes are just as beautiful as any other eye shape and just requires a different approach when applying make-up. I have hooded eyes and understand the struggles you may be experiencing. Here are a few simple tips to enhance your eye shape. The secret is to create an illusion of space as most of the eyelid will not be seen. By applying your crease shade slightly higher than your actual eye crease, you'll make the lid seem larger and less hooded. An easy way to achieve this would be to look ahead in a mirror and place your shadow on the part of your eye you can see, which is just above your natural eye socket. Add lighter shades to highlight the inner corner and a third of your eyelid and highlighting under your brow also helps. I'd recommend only using eyeliner on the outer two-thirds of the bottom lashline, don't take it to the inner corner as this will close the eye and make it appear smaller. A common problem faced with hooded eyes is creasing; this can be combated by laying down a little powder before applying eyeshadow or using an eye primer to provide a smooth and primed surface. My favourite way to solve this issue is by using cream-based shadows which are often waterproof. Apply the product with a brush and then blend the powder eyeshadow over the top – this way nothing will separate or crease!
