Don't Give Up! Eyeshadow for Hooded Eyes: The Reverse Smoky Eye

[30sweetnlow]

Thank you so much! I just recently discovered that my eyes were "hooded". I am 30 and I had no idea why makeup never turned out for me. My eyes are almost fully hooded and I have low eyebrows so it is hard to find a look that works with the space I have. I will have to practice some more :)

[sgtjewess]

thank you so much for these tips! i feel a lot of makeup tutorials kinda forget about us girls with hooded eyes and so their tips don't always translate so well for us! great to see someone who works with that feature.

[IMMABIGGYRLNOW]

Why have u taped your forehead over one eye?

[BirdOfParadise777]

I wish you wouldn't have raised your eyebrows up so high at the end, it kind of defeated the purpose. The pictures at the end didn't match, the eyeshadow wasn't as dark.

I was really looking forward to the end result. You didn't have your eyebrows raised up that high at the beginning, so, it didn't seem like a thing you normally do. Just wondered why you did it at the end, that's all. It's just that I don't want to have to walk around all day holding my eyebrows up! lol

Too much movement

[prochellelynn]

Finally! thank you! ivegiven up on even wearing any eye shadow at all, you couldnt see it when i did wear it lol Im definitely gonna have to start again..Thanks for the confidence boost :)

[bmbleB95]

I have found my hot girl disguise. Thank you

[2006diannacurtis]

Awesom!! I had the same problem i thought i was just doing it wrong, well it turns out i just dont have the eyes for the other techniques.

[CurlyGurlMakeup]

u have saved my makeup!!

[TheStarshine1197]

ug!THANK YOUUUUUU! i have hated my hooded eyelids ever since i started wearing makeup but you changed that!and your very beautiful!:D

[buyagonz]

wow! ive always thought i had double lids! i thought double lid was hooded and vice versa !

[prajnabeauty]

this is a really great tutorial! it was so frustrating when I was younger to deal with hooded eyelids... this is a great look :)

[TheTuesday11]

awesome

[jordankaylaliam]

I really like this look:)

[tedoymisojos]

This looks pretty on me using brown, but it doesnt help make my eyes look bigger, or more defined, or prettier or anything much, It just gives me a smoky effect.. and thats it, and if I line my waterline my eye looks SUPER small :(

[tedoymisojos]

Oh I tried this today with light brown and taupe, so pretty! Thank you so much, i have such a hard time with my eye makeup :(

[TheKellieh2]

Brilliant!! Thank you so much!!

[jenyce]

Thank you and i think i have the heaviest lids in the world lol. I have so many pics where i look rediculous because my shimmer highlight is 50ft long and thats all you can see. Faking the crease is awsome right!

[hmfrx]

I thought I was the only one with hooded eyelids!

[celestialgurl23]

OHH Mmm GEEZZZ.... im in love with you!!!! i feel like i can watch and do millions of eye makeups ON OTHER PEOPLE but never on myself because of my hooded eyes.... funny thing is that i never knew that was the actual term for them lol Thank you soooooooo much!!!

[AlliAmIsDelilah]

uhm i love you?

i hate my hooded eyes _-_

[mairiza1302]

Wow! very preety and helpfull! i have hooded eyes and gave up trying eyeshadow a long time ago but i think ill try this look tonight,, thx absolutely amazing!

[baseballg500]

[drowzo11]

[felixpuncrocoi]

@awishedforsong Same here! Except I just realized it tonight and I'm 29 LOL I just thought I was horrible at makeup

[THIPTHEP88]

thanks for posting for all the hooded eye woman out there!

[ashaidev]

it looked beautiful until you came back to tell us about the undereye shadow application, i liked that look so i probably won't make it as dark as she did

[veryfreakingserious]

YAY! I'm so happy I found you!!

[gerbilstars]

As I wait for this to load I have a question... What exactly are hooded eyes and is it possible to have one hooded eye and the other not be?

[TearfulShadows]

@gerbilstars They're eyes where usually the lid above the crease comes down instead of just creases in. Some people are born with it, and some find it happens more with age, hence the popularity of eyelifts to pull that skin tight and take away the 'hooded' look. And it's possible to have one eye with a slightly more different shape just like it's possible to have your eyebrows two slightly different shape (and not just from a bad plucking) or one foot/hand/boob bigger than the other!

[YoBootyStinks]

i can't even see

[Puddycat11385]

thank u sweety, this really helped. I hate my hooded eyes. I never wore eye shadow because most of it wouldnt show.

[Cotarot]

Thank you soo much! :D

[educatedjournal]

any of you tried Rimmel's newest line of products?? theyre quality , i continuously purchase more and more :) u can get hold of no fee trials through "Gratis Makeup Samples". i got the samples on 03/12/2010.



[aussiedonna50]

@educatedjournal Whatever you are getting paid to run this crap over every beauty channel is too much. For those people who are like me and find random advertising irritating, just IGNORE the fools who are running around YT with this rubbish.

Once you ignore the person, you will never see these ads again.

[mellierose21]

waht kind of eye liner did you use, was it liquid, pencil or other? I look forward to trying this out !! :)

[SillyLillyA]

Thank u!!!!! I was beginning to think I was abnormal! lol

[sillyboho]

i have despaired of ever being able to wear eyeshadow. i usually do a thick eyeliner and a bright light eyeshadow only. THANK YOU!

[Moviesmoveme]

THIS VIDEO IS SPOT ON!! Thanks, I'll try this tomorrow :)

[them1434]

can u actually show us how u did the whole v thing to fake the crease? and how u blended it

[maggiepower]

Thank you for this! I've been watching a lot of videos that are demonstrated on normal eyes-not helpful. Yours makes so much more sense!

[peepsinmd]

Thank you! I am trying this tomorrow! I'm 35, and I still have no idea how to apply eyeshadow to my hooded eyelids (which are getting saggier by the day!). I'm definitely going to watch all of your tutorials.

[ChinaaDOlll]

Finally A Decend Video :) Thankss

[NancyDrew06]

how did u do the eye liner for the upper lid?

[Ladybirdy87]

You just made me feel so much better about my eyes and it's good to know that there are others like me :)

Thank You So Much !!

[MissKarlitaY]

This is a great tutorial!!

[listen2tool86]

I can't wait to try this.. Every time I have tried a smokey eye it looks like I got punched out. lol

[jebauman0812]

i have always been discouraged with my hooded lids... but your video has made me feel better about them! thanks <3

[omgzzzitstayler]

thank you sooo much it's so hard for me to work with my hooded lids :( i'm trying this right now actually!

[cosmeticsmile]

so glad I found this! Ive always wondered why eyeshado always looked stupid so I decided to google about eye shapes and realised I had hooded eyes! and a couple of rubbish videos later here I am with your amazing videos with someone who acctually has them and knows what to do so thank you youve fave me hope ! xo

[redell09]

thanks sooooo much. i had totally given up on bothering to try wearing eyeshadow at all and just stuck to dramatic eyeliner/mascara.

this is genius.

[CoolConejo]

you have very sexy eyes

[awishedforsong]

Thank you sooo much for your awesome tutorials for hooded eyes! I'm 26 years old and it was just within the last year that I suddenly realized why I wasn't able to apply eyeshadow and do the typical shading and contouring the same way so many other women could. I thought I just didn't know what I was doing and didn't know how to properly apply. Then I realized I have hooded eyes. It was definitely a big "DUH!" moment. I can't wait to try this look out. It looks so gorgeous! Thanks again!

[ccenger]

@awishedforsong lol- i'm in the same boat. when i started researching eye types and realized my type was hooded (only 30 here, so also just my natural eye type), it was like- OH! no wonder i can't use liquid liners! the second i blink while trying to apply i get the darn stuff all over my "hood"

[blarshe]

"...and makes ur crease look like its higher up instead of uh... invisible." LOL! i totally know what u mean.

[krissyelizabeth]

omgosh, thank you sooo much! i've watched multiple tutorials on hooded lids and yours is the first to give me hope! lol

[asdfghjkl4355]

you are beautiful! :)

[astatube]

woow, this is awsome! I've got really heavily hooded lids and I've been looking for a makeup guru that has lids similar to mine but I've never found one.. I struck gold here! :D

[veedebee]

So helpful, thankyou!

[thelaynie]

Wow, this is a really gorgeous look! You've got eyes like mine, and I find I get frustrated trying to do some of the looks I see done on youtube, simply because they don't translate to a hooded eye. So frustrating!

[aurara96]

This is a great tutorial. I'm going to try out the look tomorrow. :)

[DracoBabe88]

Thank you soooo much for this video! I am new to make up and have had trouble with my hooded eyes, this toutorial has made it look so simple!!!!

[Simplyhotpink49]

This video is good!!! ...Now i know what i was doing wrong i was following the shape of my eye! Am gonna try what you do now!..I watched like 5 vids before getting to yours, so  glad i found it!..

[rnsmithny]

Thanks for this great video. I have all the colors you used, I'm trying this!

[tinamrose19]

[bonbon8022]

Very pretty!! I have hooded eyes also and I get very frustrated ,you give helpful tips and beautiful looks for us to try-thanks.

[titina206]

Just as helpful as always :-) thank you so much for all these beautiful looks for hooded eyes!!! Keep'em comming!

[chrryblossm]

[ladeedah1000]

Beautiful. I'm trying this tomorrow. Thanks so much!

[chrryblossm]

ooh...let me know how it goes!

[cressida81]

I not only have hooded eyes, but my eyes are very small and my eyebrows are low. I have a very hard time wearing eyeshadow.

[screaminlisa]

Great job! I have hooded eyes and I HATE them. It is so hard to wear all the pretty looks. I think my eye lids may be a bit smaller than yours so a tip for others like me, for your crease you may want to use a slightly smaller crease brush to keep the darker color from going all the way up to your brows.

[CraftyGoddess]

Great tips, thanks!! Totally wearable smokey look :)
