I think one thing that makes it really difficult is that when trying to find techniques and looks that are flattering for eye shapes that don't fit the trends, is that when searching for "hooded eyes", or "downturned eyes", or "deep set eyes", etc, there are VASTLY more videos on camouflaging/hiding/fixing these issues instead of celebrating/enhancing/highlighting them.

I have a droopy and hooded eye shape and seeing this video made me happy because I tell people this all the time! For anyone that struggles with eyeshadow on hooded eyes, I say don't be afraid to get heavy underneath your eye! A shimmer/glitter on the inner part and a dark lower lash line is my go-to. Sometimes I even put shimmer all over my eyebags to draw attention to them but that's not for everyone because it is quite dramatic haha

[@defectiveshark7602]

As a very olive-skinned EAsian person with monolid eyes - NO visible crease when my eyes are open - and an epicanthal fold - man I wish I'd seen this early on when I was getting into makeup. It's so hard not to get discouraged when nothing you see seems to work for you. I live in the US and my adoptive family is all white, so trying to figure out what I'm doing at any given time has taken a *while*. This look is gorgeous, btw, it reminds me of moth wings and it highlighted the colors in your eyes in the coolest way

[@Call-me-Al]

A really fun thing to do when you have a huge chunk of invisible space when your eyes are wide open, is to have some bright and fun color in the hidden space. That way every time you blink it gives a really cool color flash. There was some monolid redditor/instagrammer I learned this "trick" from. I don't have a monolid, just a lot of disappearing space, and seeing that was the first time I ever finally got to see the hidden space as an opportunity instead of a waste

[@foxwaffles]

Hey hey, monolids here and omg I feel your struggle. I never wore makeup all through my teen years because there were NO resources. Google the "vertical gradient" for monolids. It was totally game changing for me. I've been using variations on vertical gradients ever since. Attempting to put a darker shadow through where our "crease" aka orbital bone is just looks so bad 90% of the time.

[@ruelongcha]

even in asian beauty especially during the early days of youtube there was little if any monolid representation (funny as I’m typing this, apple doesn’t even recognize monolid as a word). thankfully there are now dozens of video tutorials for monolid eyes. I’ve also seen some beautiful high fashion style makeup with bold stenciling around your eye shape. it works really well because with no crease it’s almost like a “blank canvas” effect that you can get away with drawing the most creative shapes on. I’ve never actually seen the style done in person (I have hooded eyes so it wouldn’t really work on me) but I think it would look so cool

[@marikanespoli6525]

Oh my gosh, same here. Especially now that I am nearly 40. I feel so discouraged 😞

[@LMDinNC]

I have the same issue and have learned a few techniques. Alex mentioned this - you need to follow along with your eye socket to create your “crease.”. You can feel this bone if you lightly press above your eye. This is where you apply your “crease” color. It will create depth in that area. Putting a light bright color in the middle of your lid (above your Iris) also helps. I usually use gold with warm shadows or silver with cool shadows. Using no shadow or liner at all under the eyes may sound counterintuitive but this also makes a big difference in making hooded eyes look less “sleepy.” I don’t even wear mascara on my lower lashes anymore.

[@silviagregorowicz4786]

Me too! I've actually given up on eyeshadow! This gives me hope that one day I can put eyeshadow on and it'll look nice!

[@pauwula]

Yess, I felt the pixie hairstyle choice. I used to swear I'd never cut my hair that short bc I thought it'd look awful. But then the pandemic hit and I was like "if there's a time to do it, it's now" so I chopped off my hair and I haven't looked back since. Of course I still see people with longer hair and it looks so good on them but I know my hair could never be like that naturally and I have to accept that. I am, however, much happier with my pixie since it looks better with my face shape (plus it's way easier to manage)

[@therealemceekay]

Same here. I've had every flavour and length of short hair for years. Grew it out once or twice but can never get past my shoulders. I have a lot of hair but it's very fine and very straight and tangles like a mofo. Now I have an undercut with an asymmetrical top and it just works for me. So easy, suits me, literally wash and wear. All the power to women with long, luscious locks but that ain't me!

@@therealemceekay exactly! what gave me the courage to chop it off was the fact that I didn't leave my house so if it turned out awful, no one had to see it and I'd just have wait for it to grow out

As someone with droopy sad puppy eyes, thank you for the positivity lol! When I first started getting into makeup I found it so frustrating to try to follow the “standard” tutorials for like a cat eye because my eyes are simply Not Built Like That, so it took me just practicing and experimenting on my own to figure out what worked. And also, sometimes embracing the weirder parts of your face with makeup can be really fun! I’ve got close set eyes, and I used to do everything to lighten up my inner corners to make them seems further apart, but recently I’ve been darkening my inner corners and it’s been great! Like, yes, I am built like a flounder, but fuck it, why can’t I put a dark shimmer on my inner corner!

Hahaha you have my attention throughout this video, but when you called out for Putin I lost it 🤣 🤣 🤣 omg Awww thanks so much Alex! This WAS refreshing watching you just play and talk!

You hit the nail on the head when you said not to be scared to drag it downwards, I’m half Korean so I’ve always grew up with this idea of makeup being lifted and light and sweet and going dark is dark waters! But I love boldness and color! The majority of my hang up about putting on makeup on myself is I don’t really know who I look like and I think I’ve done a lot of that “look at others and copy” that I’m not familiar with my own features as much but I think life is bringing us back to ourselves now and it’s an awesome and best time to experiment with that stuff!

[@brooke9297]

@@eyeclipper Hah, it's such a rare face shape, of course I'll share (and be super extra in my description) in the hopes that it might be helpful :) So I've struggled a lot over the years and have landed on: minimal overall foundation to at least make sure that the parts I don't conceal don't stand out as having a different texture. Then the best thing I can do around my eyes is to really not over-conceal the eyelids and area below my brows. I have to make sure the shadows are still visible, because if I don't, it flattens my face and makes it longer and incredibly weird.. I'll typically do a light coverage foundation there (dabbed first on my hand with a sponge) and then, if anything, a thin liner towards the outer corners straight out toward the temple, not upward. I realize that's hard to explain in words, but I find that with my face shape, lines moving horizontally are the most flattering. The upward cat eye look tends to look absolutely insane hah.. Then maybe a bit of a highlight shade on the inner-center lid (not in that part at the very inner corner of the eye.... that looks horrendous hah) and I'm all set! Oh and any added lashes look great towards the outer corner. Whole sets don't usually look good, so I do the individual sets. Hope that helps! :)

[@eyeclipper]

@@brooke9297 Yes, thank you so much! I actually dont do outer lashes only (as if i did lashes at all most of the time but lets ignore that hahah) bc i feel like it weighs the last past only, even if i liked the look on other people 😭. I am curious, what do you think of the 'douyin' style makeup, where they make the liner kinda enhance the downwardness of the eyes? I tried it recently and it made had the opposite effect of the foxy eye, and it put more focus on the outer parts of my face (mostly cheekbones) and in a way makes it look less long?? + the make up isnt really on the eyelids so it doesnt create weird lines. But at the same time you have to really embrace the eye shape 😬

But I like it, I just wish there were more techniques out there for my eyeshape that weren't always corrective in nature.

Yesss! Understanding your unique bone structure, real estate, what’s reasonable, and what you’re working to achieve are instrumental in understanding what techniques will flatter you most. There are techniques that’ll enhance every eye shape, so play! As for the hoodies who are looking to do cut creases, bring that contour a few millimeters above your natural socket (where your eyeball meets your brow bone, not where your hood creases). This’ll help make the look more believable as well as guide your other eye looks! Every eye shape is beautiful and able to be enhanced through different techniques. While not all work for everyone, there are plenty that will!

In all my years of being a makeup and skincare junkie, you're the only 1 I've heard mention 2 different eye shapes. I have a hooded lid & a lid with space. It can be terribly frustrating so I wish an artist would do a series of looks on uneven eyes 💬

I love watching your videos. I’m confident in my own makeup, but I always learn something new from you. I always recommend you, you’re the best x

[@m.e.5]

Amen!

I can’t say it enough I love your channel it’s so informational! I’m always trying to figure out how to make the makeup work for my face and not follow trends but it’s hard with everyone kind of looking like they’re using the same techniques. I appreciate you so much 😭

You actually inspired me to do my contour for me, and now I'm so much happier. I have big appley cheeks, and I like to enhance them by curving my contour under my apples almost all the way to my nose. I'd never done that until you made me feel comfortable to try it! I ended up loving it.

I wish I had someone like you when I was a teenager (in the early days of youtube)! It's taken me 15+ years to learn the wisdom you're sharing in this video 🙏

I feel like we just went on a super uplifting journey while watching you turn your eyes into the most beautiful avocados.

Your eye look is gorgeous!!!

[@tiny.vampire]

this is something ive been thinking about a lot, especially since the trends have moved so decidedly towards this super lifted aesthetic. i also have a sort of "droopy" downturned eye, and my eyes are very wide and round, so no matter what i do the whole fox eye trend is never going to look normal on me. recently I've embraced a very subtle, straight across eyeliner and rounded, diffused eyeshadow shapes that accentuate the roundness and downturn of my eyes and i LOVE it. it goes against everything the trends tell you to do but it just works so well for me

[@HopePhotoG]

Great topic. I am still finding what works best for me. You are so beautiful ! The look you have prior to the eyeshadow is so lovely in itself.

[@chrislange1544]

Fabulous eyeshadow look. You're so creative. Love watching you. 💋💋

[@whitneysmith9357]

You always inspire me and I could listen to you talk for hours

[@Snot_Rockets]

This is my favorite eyeshadow look you’ve done.
