Hooded Eye Makeup

Every eye shape deserves special attention to create the most gorgeous look, and tips for hooded eye makeup can help you learn how to accentuate your peepers with timeless or trendy makeup styles.

Add depth and contour for your eye shape.

Hooded eyelids are common in women of Asian descent. A hooded eyelid is defined as a lid that is large without any shape or definition. Hooded eyelids also tend to drag the eyes downward, sometimes creating a closed and sagging appearance. Creating the look of depth and contour is essential when applying makeup on a hooded lid.

The following Asian eye makeup tips will help you create the look of an open and lifted eyelid while enhancing your eye color and adding sexy appeal.

Contour and special effects are a great way to define facial features and distract from areas of opportunity. If you have hooded eyes, your challenge is to create depth while opening the eye and enlarging the pupils. This can be achieved by stroking a dark eye shadow in what would typically be the crease of an eyelid. The dark shadow will create the illusion of a recede, and will help you balance the hooded lid.

Creating depth is another tip for Asian eyes. You can create the look of depth by layering several shades of light to medium shades of taupe throughout the created contoured crease, and add a highlighting cream in a light beige or white directly under the brow bone and along the inner rim of the eye.

Several tools and tricks can be used to open the eye. Make sure you curl eyelashes with an eyelash curler prior to applying mascara to get the most out of your lashes. Asian lashes are typically short and straight, so find a rich black mascara that works to lengthen and curl.

Lining Asian eyes is a great way to enhance and draw attention to the eye area and distract from the hooded eyelid. A black liquid eyeliner can be applied on the top of the eyelid in a cat eye style to help lift the hooded lid while adding curve to the spherical shape.

If you want to veer away from adding depth and contour, you can keep your makeup routine simple by brushing on a simple, one base eye color in a neutral highlighting shade. Shiseido's Hydro Powder eye shadow in Lemon Sugar is the perfect shimmery shadow that will open up the entire eye area while imparting a sexy sheen, and it works on every skin tone.

Bright trendy eye shadows look great on hooded eyes and help distract from they heavy eyelid. Limes, blue, and purple hues are flattering on yellow skin and impart a youthful glow.

To avoid the look of narrowed or closed eyelids, make sure you stay away from dark charcoal and black eye shadows. Although these colors add depth, they can make the eyes appear smaller than they actually are. Instead, opt for earthy brown shadows and neutral hues.

In addition to avoid dark hues, make sure you veer away from dark painted on eyebrows. Asian women normally have sparse eyebrows, so filling in is definitely recommended, but rather than opt for a dark brown or black eyebrow pencil, selecting a light brown will add definition and lighten up the entire eye area, creating the look of a large and defined space.

Although hooded eyes have some challenges, these tips will help you create makeup looks that flatter your eyes while staying on trend!
