Makeup Tips for Hooded Eyes + Lids

okay i'm going to share some hooded eye tricks clearly i don't have hooded eyes i do have what i like to refer to as hooded lids which means like it's slightly hooded when i'm looking forward my lid is uh i don't have hooded eyes i do have a lot of real estate going on up here which is what i always refer to this is something that i receive requests for often and i was on twitter and someone tagged me in this girl's post kell dot lauren on twitter this is the girl which first of all like makeup hair aesthetic stunning obsessed love it um now she comments she posted this and said my first attempt at makeup like this if anyone has any tips or youtube videos please help me out i want to do that cute colorful makeup you see all over ig but i have hooded eyes and tmake makeup eye makeup challenging now she has if i just put a like real deep zoom on her eye love that eye look by the way those lashes like that's really annoying i want those eyelashes she has hooded lids similar to me you know like when i look down like that i have this crease here but she does have like quite a bit of real estate so a lot of the things that people or a lot of the people who ask me for advice or tips say that thave no real estate like their eyes are hooded and their brow comes down very far to start off if you have i think i'm going to call her lauren because it was like in her twitter name if you have a situation like me and lauren where you have hooded lids and you're trying to do a cut crease or you're trying to blend your crease and you just don't know where to go because you're confused by that the easiest thing to do is go above that line let me zoom you in so we can really talk about the eyes so if i'm looking down or if i turn to the side you can see like where my brow bone goes in a little bit like where it starts to go in and that's around my eye socket so if i feel right here that's where like the natural crease of my eye is when i'm looking forward that comes down a little bit more so if i'm going to do a cut crease or i don't know if i want to kind of like push this area back in space because it folds over a little bit and it tends to drag my eyes down then i'm going to bring that transition shade or i'm going to start off with that crease color right here so right above that fold so if you're trying to do a cut crease or you're trying to do anything like that and you feel like you can't because of this crease don't worry about it you can literally just draw right above it you don't have to stick to the rules that you think you do in other words so if that is your situation then that is what i would suggest and i've done plenty of videos you know basically any of my eyeshadow tutorials you know if you have like this kind of situation is going to be great now for very hooded eyes and let me show you an example of like who i'm thinking of because people like jennifer lawrence come to mind here she is with like not too too much makeup on you can see she does have hooded eyes so her lid is hooded so more of my lid shows through when i'm staring straight ahead now something that her makeup artists do is tplay a lot with the corners of the eye because she doesn't have i mean she does have like a decent amount of space from like where the top of her lash line is to her brow like she can put color there but something that tdo is this so they'll really accentuate the outer part of the eye so you can see that that shadow is going here like a lot of it is like right there so if you have hooded eyes and you're like i can't put eyeshadow anywhere just erase the fact that or erase the belief that you have to put it only on your eyelid you do not you can put it wherever the [ __ ] you want if you don't want to put it on your lid and you want to put it up here you can do that if you want to put it out here you can do that so that's what we're going to be doing today i'm going to show you basically like how to shape it i think i'm going to do eyeliner too so i'm going to use the um makeup by mario palette this is the master mattes just a bunch of great new newts just a bunch of great newts so i'm gonna start off with um this shade right here it's kind of like a mustardy warm whatever now another thing that you want to keep in mind is the size of your brushes if you have smaller like for instance jennifer lawrence here has just small my phone's so dirty has just smaller eyes than me like i just my eyes look bigger you know since you're working with like smaller amount of space you want to work with smaller brushes so you do not want to be you know going in with a brush like this because you're just going to get eye shadow all over the place i'm constantly stressing the importance of the size of your brushes i don't know why i zoomed you and i'm still talking um so this is the morphe m521 this is a huge blending brush this isn't even something that i use for my crease this is something that i'll like diffuse color out here with this is the morphe m433 this is a very typical blending brush this is something like a mac 217 even this can be too big in fact for jennifer lawrence this would probably be more of a you know smoke out or refine the edges kind of eye shadow brush some really good examples are this one from morphe this is the black and gold collection super annoying thave no names i don't even know if this is available anymore but this size it looks tiny but you need that precision so tiny brushes like this this is the sigma e25 that's a little slightly more like gives you a little bit more precision it gets flat when you turn it elf has a really good small blending brush uh there are morphe has my favorite ones honestly just because they're super affordable and thave like a vast vast range but so just keep in mind the size of your brushes so i'm actually going to start off with the sigma e25 brush and i'm gonna pick up that mustardy shade i'm gonna focus on the tip of the brush the first thing that i typically do considering my eyes and the shape and everything is i would start up here and i would start by pushing that back now for hooded eyes what i would do especially for like a jennifer lawrence type is start here okay so i'm kind of creating a much straighter shape so i'm starting at the outer corner of the eye but i'm going to be bringing it outward and then obviously we have to imagine that i don't have all this real estate up here but so start at the outer corner swoop it out a little bit and then you can kind of like you know angle it up a little depending on how much space you have obviously like for my eyes i would probably bring it all the way up here push that back so i'm kind of focusing on like more of a triangular shape i should have like drawn my eyebrows way down here so that it would be easier to to see but imagine my eyebrows are like this low you see what i mean so we don't have to worry about missing out on space here and the small brushes is goin
