Mastering Makeup For Hooded Eyes: Your Guide

Firstly, it's essential to understand the shape of your eyes. Hooded eyes have a fold of skin that covers the crease, making the eyelid look smaller. To enhance your eyes, you need to apply eye makeup in a way that makes your eyes look more prominent. Let's understand more about hooded eyes.

Hooded eyes are a common eye shape characterised by a heavy brow bone that causes the eyelid to droop. This drooping effect creates a hood over the eye, which is why they are called hooded eyes.

Hooded eyes have a small crease and a lack of visible eyelid space, making applying eye makeup challenging. There are two main types of hooded eyes: monolids and double eyelids. Monolids have no visible crease, while double eyelids have a visible crease.

Prepping your eyes before applying makeup can make a huge difference.

• Start with a good skincare routine to ensure your eyes are moisturised and ready for makeup.
• Next, shape your eyebrows to lift the eyes and create a more open look.
• Finally, use a good eye primer to prevent creasing and ensure your eyeshadow stays put all day. The Lakmé Facelift Brow Sculpt Palette is your ticket to slay your brow game like never before! It comes with two handpicked true-match shades of brown that give a natural look to your brows. The light shade fills the sparse areas of your brows, while the dark shade adds definition to the arch and tail.

One of the key aspects of mastering eye makeup for small hooded eyes is applying eyeshadow correctly.

• Firstly, choosing eyeshadow colours that complement your eye shape and skin tone is important.
• Next, apply eyeshadow to the crease using a fluffy brush to create depth and definition.
• Then, apply eyeshadow to the lid, blending it well with the crease.
• Finally, blend all the eyeshadow for a seamless and polished look. We recommend trying out the Lakmé Absolute Explore Eye Paints which are perfect for hooded eyes.

When it comes to applying eyeliner, it's important to choose the right formula for your desired look. Gel, liquid, and pencil eyeliners all have different textures and finishes.

• Once you've chosen your formula, apply eyeliner to your upper lash line, starting from the inner corner and moving towards the outer corner.
• For a winged look, extend the liner outwards and upwards at the outer corner of the eye.
• Lastly, apply eyeliner to the lower lash line, starting from the outer corner and moving towards the inner corner.

• Next, curl your lashes using an eyelash curler to enhance their shape.
