Everyday Monolid Makeup Tutorial

[@christinamaine]

thank you for your monolid tutorials! i watch beauty gurus without monolids and it's kind of discouraging when starting out in makeup because it doesn't work on my eye shape. you make it fun and beautiful. thanks jen! :)

[@cinerdy]

Thank you for being so committed to monolid tutorials! I have monolids and I was always insecure about eye makeup before I started watching your videos. :)

[@TheAmeliix]

Thanks I been waiting for an everyday monolid tutorial ! This video made my day, and many others I'm sure. Please continue making monolid tutorials !

[@SunnyH]

Thanks so much for the tutorial Jen! I started getting into makeup when I found your tutorials about a year and a half ago, because before then I didn't believe I could do anything to make my monolidded eyes look more "alive." I love this understated yet sophisticated look, and a lot of the times I also go out with nothing but a lip balm on my lips haha

[@oAlexanderXavior]

Nice tutorial! I have uneven eyelids with one having a deep monolid and the other a slightly lesser one. This helps even it out a lot! I love your tutorials and gorgeous as always :)

[@kerichen]

Thank you so much, Jen! It's so difficult to find monolid tutorials; it's so nice to finally have someone cater to my needs.

[@frmheadtotoe]

@olivinetea I would use actual liner thinly, then use an eyeshadow in brown or charcoal grey to smudge it into the overlapped/hooded area. That way, the line isn't as harsh but you still get a defined lower lash line effect.

[@frmheadtotoe]

@SpaRklyAngeLglaM Yup, that's right! Since our lashes point downward, the upper waterline isn't ever exposed so it's not necessary to line it. Waterlining isn't super healthy for the eyes anyway, so I recommend skipping it if your eyes are sensitive. ;)

[@frmheadtotoe]

@RicePuddingStuff I have been a long-time fan of Covergirl Lash Exact Waterproof mascara. It's not too fancy but it holds curls and gives a great, clean, everyday look for monolidders.

[@frmheadtotoe]

@hellokitty89881 "Puffy eyes" really depends on where you place the metallic color. I tend to only put metallics/shimmery colors on the center of my lid and contour that with a matte shadow. This way, the contrast actually makes your eyes look more defined instead of puffy. ;)

[@MsBlackswanZ]

Ive always hated my monolids... it has been so hard for me to do make up because i dont have the crease. You inspire me to not go and do surgery for double lids like my other korean friends. You make me believe that i can be/ do so much more with monolids and now I love my monolids more than ever. PLZ do more of these tutorial. u r my godddd

[@Sumeow]

Hey Jen, I just wanted to say THAT I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU. I recently came across your videos (2 days ago?) and really found that your looks are much more suitable and wearable for me as I have monolids. I love Michelle Phan and xteeener, but I always found that their looks were hard to achieve with my eyes. SO THANK YOU for opening the doors for my monolids. I'M SO EXCITED TO TRY YOUR LOOKS!!

[@kminni03]

Your videos have helped me with how I wear make-up, because I'm half-black and half-korean, so I have part of a double eyelid, but then it becomes like a monolid towards my nose and this is for both my eyes. I'm lucky that they are the same for both eyes, but it was really frustrating when I first started wearing eye makeup. Your videos have been such great help with finding techniques to deal with my eyes.

[@alohastitches]

Yay for monolid videos! Your tutorials are the only ones that truly help me and my monolids :)

[@wanderlust1257]

As a makeup lover I love seeing techniques for applying makeup on different eye shapes. Thanks for sharing! :)

[@pekkle0724]

thanks so much for the monolid tutorials... a lot of gurus dont seem to have expertise in this area. this is a great look.. i am definitely going to try it!

[@ntshiabsi807]

I love the way you apply your eye makeup on. I been using gel liner for a while but still it won't last long so I try to put black eye shadow on top of my liner like you said and it looks great and smooth, last longer. Thanks to you.

[@jalissaworthy3651]

So glad I found your page! I've been searching forever to try and find someone with similar eyes.. you're amazing!

[@frmheadtotoe]

@liumatilda408 Yes, you definitely can! Just bring the black shadow on the inner half of the eyelid up to the crease line and the rest can stay the same. :)

[@sophializshine]

This turned out so good I love it! I also have both Naked palettes so this was perfect for me!

[@mrsdradc]

This is so helpful! I have very similar eyes to you and find it a little difficult applying eyeshadow. Thanks so much!!

[@joleensaeteurn4752]

Ahhhh I'm so happy I subscribed to your channel.I have mono lids and love to experiment with makeup but I'm always so insecure that it won't look as well as people with lids lol.. definately going to try my own creation of this . So uhh thanks a lot!!

[@ndnbhar]

I don't have monolids but slightly hooded eyelids & this tutorial looks awesome. I think I'll try it today!!

[@jeanblaaa]

I'm so glad you took off those lashes! A lot of asians including me keke, always wore false lashes to make eyes look bigger and give a crease but you look cuter without them!

[@athenalin]

Your videos are really useful and pratical for girls who don't have crease...We are lucky to have you keep posting all these tutorial :-)

[@nofuturepp]

The sweater actually matches your lip color, good job!

[@yuhisushi]

love this look. would like to see another tutorial using some of the darker shades of the infalliable shadows like the purple or dark green.

[@frmheadtotoe]

@KitMeow100 I plan on doing a "basics" video on how to curl lashes, particularly those with stubborn Asian-type lashes that point straight down like mine!

[@xDawesomexD]

there aren't many monolid tutorials, so thank you for your tutorial!! please record more monolid tutorials!

[@aquabme]

Thank you sooo much. I am monolids too and have tried using eyelid to make a crease but it looked weird, so this helped a lot

[@celinebeeon]

Yay for another monolid tutorial! I really enjoy them!

[@Manita7988]

Yeah, monolid tutorial! Plus, I can do the entire look now that I have the UD palette!

[@bleev]

Thanks for the tutorial! This will be a great look for a night out, well for me anyways, since I don't wear a lot of makeup to begin with. Can't wait to try it soon!

[@Enchanteralle]

This is a very good look for everyday wear. Although, I was using brown/neutral colors for my eyelids and there are times I look like I don't get enough sleep....maybe I applied too much color. I have very pale skin. I have monolids too so your tutorials really help.

[@EunjiArcher]

Thank you for this tutorials. I struggle how to do shadows on monolids for day to day. Plz do more videos for monolids.

[@KarmanGong]

This tutorial is really helpful since I have monolids. Btw I love your nail polish!

[@BeautieCandy]

I love how you embrace your natural features like monolids rather then get plastic surgery or use eyelid tape religiously. This look is beautiful! :)

[@roseyli1]

Thanks for the video! I can't believe it took me this long to discover you on youtube! As a 'mono-lidder' I cannot wait for more videos like this one. xoxo

[@DianeHui]

Love how we can actually see exactly what you're doing! thanks!

[@robotically]

I watched this to prepare to do makeup on my boyfriend haha. But then I tried it on myself and even though I have double eyelids it looks goooood. Versatile look!

[@jewelia2125]

hey jenn this is a lil off topic but missha has a great liquid eyeliner that completely waterproof. it goes on like paint and takes a little longer to dry but it will not budge; not even if you rubbing your eyes. it comes off easily with make up remover is its in metallic blue packaging. check it out, great for monolids.

[@sofysophia]

omg seriously i do almost the same for my everyday go-to-work look! the only difference is that instead of using a peachy brown shade i use dark brown as the base color -- i really love that soft smokey cat eye effect, subtle but still glamorous

[@jlogan02]

jen! i love your everyday makeup looks... do you think you could do a day makeup look but using non-neutral colors (like purples, blues etc) thanks

[@TheDoodLbot]

Monolid eyelids have creases that are so close to the lash line, they get tucked in when we open our eyes naturally... This gives the appearance that we don't have creases, when actually, we do.

[@emma217]

Most useful tutorial I've come across for my lids!!

[@hiyaimkayla]

Monolid eyes can be very beautiful, i don't have full on monolid eyes but i find that monolidded eyes are easier to work with because it just gives you a flat and even space to apply makeup.

[@Lisannable]

This looks beautiful! I'm not a monolid, but it inspires me for a beautiful look too :) Thank you for your great tutorials Jen :)

[@elainejiang1283]

hey! please do a videofor those who have a monolid and a double eyelid! i really like what you did in this video, its awesome!!!

[@ksartbaeva]

I absolutely live watching your videos. I will try this look tomorrow I hope It will work! Thank you!

[@fefe7774]

Hello I'm black with Native American ancestry and I really appreciate your tutorials. I have never worn eye makeup before. now I'm going to give it a try.

[@fallenouttaplace]

Jen, I love your videos and how you stay true to yourself unlike the other makeup artists I've followed throughout the years. Please continue to utilize correct grammar and sound intelligent. Too many times have other youtubers I've subscribed to become completely materialistic or ditzy.

[@1chenann]

thank you for making these tutorials it's really helped me like my eyes the way they are :)

[@Rockyhorrorhoe]

Jen, I'm actually Caucasian with a slightly hooded eye and this tutorial is JUST what I was looking for! My birthday is in a few days and I am definitely going to rock this look :) Thanks!

[@jennaleeforu]

i love these videos! please do more like this for monolids :) also, can you do a video on lashes? you always seem to pick the best lashes for your eyeshape. they look so natural and give your eyes such flair, that it's the exact style i'd like to try out. would you say that your eyes are intense monolid kind with a lot of fat on your lids, or a weak one so you get a crease now and then when you're tired? thanks for a great video!

[@pinkit2113]

awe i love this tutorial!! i dont have a monolid but i am still asian and for an everyday look, this REALLY works. love your outfit!! THANKS THANKS THANKS A BUNCH for sharing your skills ^.^

[@ConnieHo123]

i ABSOLUTELLY

[@aussiedonna50]

I don't have monolids but this technique is useful for hooded lids, thank you :) I have a real thing about putting my fingers in skincare or makeup & I have found that sponge tip applicators, particularly the pointed type, are ideal for using with the hybrid eyeshadows such as L'oreal 24 hr Infallible, Chanel, Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill etc. The sponge tip applicator doesn't cause any fall out & it blends beautifully. The applicator can also be washed & dried like a brush many times.

[@Ailec365]

I personally have that palet, it's pretty good and you can learn with it, i my personal opinion i love naked 2 because the colors are easy to play with them, i think you can use the glitter you're used to o you love, i don't think it's about the brand but the color. Urban decay are pretty good or maybe you can try look with estee lauder or loreal has good ones

[@MsJennyMey]

Could you do a video on the difference between gel, cream, and clay eyeliners? Is one better then the rest or does it depend on what you're using it for?

[@herafan5]

Aaaw you're so cheerful. It's a delight watching you, even if I don't come here for the tips haha

[@COCONUTB00BS]

u should! i got the naked 2 palette the other day and it's amazing...very pigmented and for UD, it's a pretty good deal for 12 good quality eyeshadows and a brush!!

[@BumbleBee087]

Yay, more monolid tutorials please Jen! :)

[@raininghard]

I don't have monolids but I just enjoy watching your videos and tips!

[@rachaeldot]

Hey Jen!! Thanks for this tutorial! I have monolids and this tutorial and your uneven eyelids tutorial helped a lot! But could you make your favorite mascara video?? I love, love, love mascara, but I can never get the mascaras that work well for my Asian lashes.. Thank you! :D

[@BeautifulCallaLilies]

:) yay love the tutorial. I still need to go buy the loreal fallible eyeshadows :) can't wait to try on my lids

[@PockyyAddiction]

This is one of my favorite tutorials!

[@jesssicayunn]

hey jen, so i think that your right eye isn't really a monolid, but the left is. i really like that because i have the same thing except my right eye is the monolid (it really depends on the day). have you ever considered eye lid glue or tape?

[@arinemiko]

yay for monolids!! lol i love how you sang "it's a monolid look"! lol i bet u have a nice singing voice!

[@TheEmms101]

yay! thanks jen!!! ii'm Asian and i have double eyelids,but once in a while my eyes will switch to mono lids so i can wear this look when my eyes change!!

[@BestDays3510]

awesome, going to try since I have the naked palette and have monolids.

[@ShortieeDana]

THANK YOU FOR THIS. Please make more! I have the hardest time with my monolid eyes. ): I've hated it for the longest time..

[@EtoileBaby]

@frmheadtotoe would this still look nice on people with a double lid? You look so great here!

[@xilovekpopandmakeupx]

This is so pretty Jen!

[@julietvidez1338]

Wow!! Very helpful eye make up tutorial for monolids like me.

[@BiotaTheGreat]

1. Urban Decay's Naked palette is amazing. An equally awesome neutral palette is theBalm's Nude'Tude. 2. I would say it depends on which of the neutral colors you prefer. Look up swatches to help decide! 3. In general, I don't buy drug store makeup, so I can't really help you with this question. 4. Urban Decay Book of Shadows is amazing! My friends got me IV for my birthday. If you're going for budget palettes, UD also offers smaller ones. I personally love the Vegan palette for neutral tones.

[@meejoohwang8494]

Love this tutorial as I too have monolids ❤ thank you so much!

[@KitMeow100]

hey jen, thank you so much for making this video as requested! i really appreciate this

[@katebieh]

Im not asian and i don't have hooded eyes but I just totally gave my asian friend who has monolids tips on how to work with them xD Your tutorials are so easy to understand I LOVE them (:

[@TrulyalwaseYours]

i have double eyelid and one mono eyelid. i usually dont wing out my eyeliner because my double eyelid eye will appear larger while my monolid eye seems to be stretched by the illusion of the wing and appear smaller. but other than that great tutorial and beautiful look

[@TheAmeliix]

Jen can you do a natural no makeup makeup everyday look for monolidders?

[@Abyswonderworld]

@Muoiix3 guess its about sensitivity. some people get reddish eyes after waterlining or get frequent irritations :) If u have wetish waterline, u need not to worry at all. coz the liner/pencil doesnt stay there for long. Mine doesnt, it slips down to the lower lash line. :)

[@laz1xbebe]

So beautiful. I absolutely love this and I'm so excited to try it out.

[@kminni03]

3. I used a mix of half baked and smog to get the color I liked. 4. I got the make-up artist kit from NYX for $30. But, it mainly is shimmery colors. I also have the Sonia Kashuk eye on neutral palette for about $20 which is just 12 all matte colors. I don't have any smaller palettes that are grab and go. Hoped I helped :)

[@kminni03]

1. Yes, it's really is good for me, since I recently started getting into make-up. It has the basics that you need and I have pretty tan skin. I'm half-Korean and black and the colors in the Naked skin are really pretty on warm skin tones in my opinion. 2. I don't have Naked 2, but the colors in that palette is cooler than Naked. It depends on what colors you prefer to have. But, I would definitely recommend the first Naked palette.

[@greenti]

can you please do a video for an updated foundation routine? namely using the concealer, the tarte smooth operator and the tarte blush? please!! I don't know how to get the powder out of the smooth operator.. I want to see how you do it~ please and thank you!

[@365musiclover]

Omg I love this tutorial!!! Pls do more monolid tutorials

[@rosannakkwong1]

I got the same problem here! So I always apply the double eyelid tape on the monolid and it looks a bit more balance!

[@msrubykate]

I have monolids too.Thanks so much for your tutorial,it helps me a lot! :)

[@SarahBarrett]

I love the introduction! The music is adorable, and I love your tutorials (:

[@rallyrallyro]

This is a great look! You are very pretty! Great video!

[@xsunny513]

Hi Jen, this was a great tutorial. However I noticed you still have lighter or thinner? mono eyelids and have a VERY light crease. For my case, I have thicker, heavier mono eyelids where I have no sign of crease at all. It's much harder to apply eyeliners at all. And I don't wear eye shadows at all because it just looks terrible on my kind of eyes (or I just don't know how to apply eye shadows with my type of eyes). Could you (if you can) do a tutorial for my type of mono eyelids? thanks!

[@rurounilucy]

i love your monolid tutorials!

[@AprilthSpring]

i'd been waiting for a NaNa afterschool / Im Jin Ah's inspired makeup tutorial T_T !! but yeah,i agree monoliders can work with thick or thin eyeliner if the right techniques are used :)

[@jewlsher]

So glad you did this tutorial. It's gorgeous and you look great. : )

[@tla840406]

@WeirdSnowball I have the same problem too. I always curl my lashes before applying any eye makeup.

[@MrsBCurious]

happended 2 come across ur video from another sucriber reccomendation I saw a few of ur tutorials n I like ur style n calming mellow tone~thx

[@TaurusBBxx]

Your eyes are sooooo beautiful!

[@cupidhateslove]

@WeirdSnowball No you're not the only one! I had that problem too, till a friend told me to curl and apply mascarra before drawing on eyeliner. I've been doing it that way ever since. :)

[@ReviewBeautyProducts]

naked palette is better for warm-toned. i'm exactly like you! i got the naked 2 and i don't use it too much because the colors are silvery and sort of clash with my yellow/asian skin tone. naked palettes priceyyy though so i really recommend nyx's catwalk eyeshadow palette! beautiful neutral colors. pretty good quality, really silky texture. you should check that out :) nyx catwalk eyeshadow palette.

[@cloudiness115]

Jen, pls do more L'Oréal infallible eyeshadow tutorial! !
