Top 10 Simple Makeup Tutorials For Hooded Eyes

If you are stressing that you have hooded eyelids, then we have many reasons to prove you the opposite! Although they are a little complicated when it comes to applying makeup, few amazing tricks will make the whole process a piece of cake for you.

First of all, you should know that you need to bring your contour higher than your natural crease when you have hooded lids to give the illusion of wider opened eyes. Be careful to draw your eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible, and preferably thinner.

The rule for hooded eyes stands that you should use only mat colors and shouldn’t use shimmery colors, but of course, this is a rule that you can absolutely break if you know what you are doing. And for that matter, we are here to help you!

Look at these 10 tutorials below, and we guarantee that your problem will be solved from now on! Good luck.

  3. Theses are some really lovely ideas for eyes. Unfortunately a good many of them are not at all for hooded eyes unless you had the teeniest tiniest hood with most of your lid showing. I really wish I could wear some of these but I would look like a clown if I tried.

    • I’m right with you. I have saggy folds on the outer corner. I’ve almost given up ever wearing eyeliner again. And I love eyeliner!!!

      • I completely agree with you, I don’t exactly call that hooded eyes, I for instance couldn’t do that cat eye ( even one as simple as in the picture ) , I love cat eyes and believe me I’ve seen countless tutorials for hooded eyes, but most of them are only a tiny bit , but still you can see the lid , I can’t , and like you I’m nearly giving up with the eyeliner , if you find any tutorial that’s really useful for eyes could you be so kind to tell me? I’ll do the same for you, thanks xoxox

        • Jip, right with you on this one – you cannot see my lid at all – my hood almost rests on my lashes and to get a tutorial is like searching for chicken teeth …… so if you find let me know and I will do the same also.
