Eyeshadow Mistake You Might Be Making: For Hooded Eyes
Applying eyeshadow can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with specific eye shapes such as hooded eyes. As with any form of makeup, eyeshadow application requires a good understanding of one’s features, precise technique, and a dash of creativity. In this blog post, we’re going to discuss a common mistake people make when applying eyeshadow on hooded eyes and how you can correct it for a flawless look.
The common mistake: Applying a dark shade in the natural crease of your eyes. When you open your eyes, the color is gone.
How to apply instead: Open your eyes, look straight ahead and apply ABOVE your natural crease with minimal swiping. Now you’ve opened your eye instead of closing it off.
The key with hooded eyes is to do a lot of the application with your eyes open – winged liner especially! This allows you to see exactly how the liner/shadow will look when the eyes are open and then you can close your eye and connect the dots so to speak.
Ps: if you have mature skin and hooded eyes, stick to warmer matte shades to add warmth to the skin and light to the eyes.
