Applying eyeshadow to hooded eyes requires specific techniques to enhance their shape and create flattering looks. Hooded eyes have an extra fold of skin that covers the crease, making it difficult to see the mobile lid when the eyes are open.
To apply eyeshadow to hooded eyes effectively, start by using a primer to create a smooth base and prevent creasing. Choose eyeshadow shades that complement your skin tone and eye color, and apply a light shade to the brow bone as a highlight. Use a medium shade in the crease and blend it upward, being careful not to apply it too high on the lid. Apply a darker shade to the outer corner of the lid and blend it inward, creating a gradient effect. Finish with a touch of shimmer or glitter in the center of the lid to draw attention to the eyes.
