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) |
For Wide-Awake Eyes Lack of lid space can close in hooded eyes, making you appear tired (even if you're on your third cup of coffee). Fake a good night's sleep with strategically placed highlighter, à la Blake Lively.
How: Blend a pretty champagne shade like Nars Single Eye Shadow in Abyssinia in the inner corner of your eyes and across your lid, bringing the shade up toward your brow bone. Be generous with the shade at the inner corners to bring light (and the illusion of space) to that area. Apply a little on your lower lash line as well. Add a few coats of lengthening mascara to your top and bottom lashes to help open up and define your eyes.
