Preparation
Before diving into the makeup application, it’s important to properly prepare the eyes. Start by cleansing the face and applying a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. This will ensure a smooth base for the makeup to adhere to. Next, apply a primer specifically designed for the eyes. This helps to prevent creasing and extends the wear of the eyeshadow.
Applying the Eyeshadow
When applying eyeshadow to hooded eyes, it’s important to create the illusion of a crease. Start by applying a light, neutral shade all over the lid, from the lash line to the brow bone. Then, using a darker shade, apply it just above the natural crease of the eye, blending it upwards and outwards. This will create the illusion of a crease and make the eyes appear more open.
Next, using a small brush, apply a darker shade to the outer corner of the eye and blend it towards the center of the lid. This will create a subtle smoky effect that will help to emphasize the eyes.
Highlighting the Brow Bone
To further enhance the eyes, use a light shade to highlight the brow bone. This will add dimension and make the eyes appear more lifted. Apply the shade just below the arch of the brow and blend it downwards into the crease shade.
Applying Eyeliner and Mascara
When applying eyeliner to hooded eyes, it’s important to keep the line thin and close to the lash line. This will help to open up the eyes and prevent them from appearing smaller.
Next, apply mascara to the top and bottom lashes, being careful not to apply too much to the lower lashes as this can create a droopy effect.
Expert Tips
- Using bright and bold colors can help emphasize the eyes and make them pop
- Using false lashes can add drama and help to open up the eyes
- Using a light-reflecting concealer on the inner corner of the eye can help to brighten the eyes and make them appear more awake
