10 Genius Makeup Tips for Hooded EyesOpen up drowsy-looking lids with these techniques (and don't worry, no eye makeup trend is off limits) |
Like the rest of the body, eyes come in all shapes and sizes, and one of these variations is the hooded eye. Though the name of this eye shape is, admittedly, a bit ominous, it's actually incredibly common, including among some of the world's most stunning celebs.
Hooded eyes feature excess skin folding down from the brow bone to the lash line, which obscures your crease, shrinks your eyelids and can make you look drowsy. Lots of people have this eye shape from birth, but it could also be the result of your lid drooping with age.
Problem is, makeup techniques for typical, almond-shape eyes don't always work. The key is learning how to select and use the eye makeup that will make your eyes look wider and more awake, which is where we come in.
Whether you want to bring the drama for a night-out look or simply appear more bright-eyed for your day at the office, we've found the techniques you need to make your eyes -- hooded lids and all -- shine.
