EYE SHAPE GUIDE

🌙 Hooded Eyes

A fold of skin rests over the crease, hiding lid space

How to tell you have hooded eyes

  • Your crease exists but disappears under a soft fold when eyes are open
  • Little or no visible eyelid space above the lash line
  • Shadow on the mobile lid vanishes when you look straight ahead
  • One of the most common shapes — and the most searched

Makeup for hooded eyes

Eyeshadow: Work with eyes OPEN: place your crease color slightly above the natural crease so it shows, matte over shimmer on the fold.

Liner: Keep lines thin — thick liner eats your visible lid; a fine upward flick lifts the eye. Waterproof formulas stop transfer.

Lashes: Curl + lifted outer lashes create the space liner can't.
