Eyeshadow Tips For Hooded Eyes

Eyeshadow tips for Hooded Eyes:
I get asked all the time for tips on how to apply eyeshadow on Hooded eyes, and It’s actually much easier than you would think.
So in this tutorial, I’m sharing some of my best tips and techniques.
Even though I do not have significantly hooded eyes I do however have one eye, in particular, that is much more hooded and always takes a lot more time and patience just to get it to look like the other, you’ll notice in this tutorial that the eye I focus on is slightly less open and has more of a fold over my eyelid which is why I chose to only demo on this eye.
Even with the finished look, they are still not twins and that’s OKAY. The main takeaway from this tutorial is the Placement of each shadow, blending techniques, and to maintain looking STRAIGHT ahead into a mirror throughout the application.
Follow along and feel free to switch out the colors I used for any that you’d like.
Tag me on Instagram with your finished look!

this is THE BEST tutorial for hooded eyes i've watched.. and i've watched a ton. can't wait to try these tips out

[@JuliesDemiColors]

If you have mature hooded eyes check out Michelle Speiler on KZbin under Sein Eyeshadow also then you will find her and she has great tutorials on different colors and what brushes to use and what to do on hooded eyes.❤️💚💙😻Julie

[@JuliesDemiColors]

Are you a professional make-up artist and how long have you been in the business and how long did you go to college? Thanks Julie

[@Leshenn]

I am so excited that this is not just for hooded eyes but also uneven eyes. My eyes are uneven, and I have never found tutorials to make them match, especially taking into account hoodedness! I'd also be interested in tutorials for people who have low brow bones and little real-estate for eye-shadow. With my hooded eyes, I feel like my eyelashes touch my eyebrows. Whenever I try to tightline, I basically have no other visible makeup with my eyes open.

[@firestonefilly6792]

You’re a natural teacher. Thrilled you’re doing more instructional vids 🙏🏽

[@kaosh87]

I have Asian hooded eyelids and for years I've looked for a tutorial to do eyeshadow and THIS is THE one! Thank you so much. Best explanation and demonstration.

[@jillbaffone6939]

Ok…I’ve been watching hooded eye makeup tutorials literally since the dawn of KZbin and this is HANDS DOWN the best one ever! Some of the tips I’ve seen from other artists on here but this combined all the best tips I’ve ever seen with some definite amazing new ones I’ve never seen in the last 10+ years of watching KZbin tutorials. Thank you! Can’t wait to try these new tricks tomorrow. Glad to see you posting more lately too…I always loved seeing you on Susan’s channel!

[@glendamccurdy6677]

This is excellent Nikki. It has completely simplified eyeshadow application for hooded eyes. Definitely the best one yet. I love your concise and thoughtful tuition….and you’re really beautiful ❤

[@Lin-LWR]

Nikki, you are absolutely amazing! Beautiful inside and out! 👑

[@beautyandskincareenthusiast]

You made that look really easy i will be at my mirror for hours trying to follow step by step with my hooded eyes lol

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Thank you! As long as you are looking into your mirror straight ahead, I promise you will nail it!!!

[@mariahelena451]

Nikki ...I don't get tired of watching this amazing tutorial on hooded eyes. We need please more videos like this and I've been waiting for them...Thanks a lot...Bye

[@maureentakach3065]

This was an outstanding tutorial. You're a natural teacher, as others have said. Thank you, I love your teaching videos!

[@cathybero3182]

BEST tutorial I have ever seen for hooded eyes!!!! I learned sooooo much and will use these techniques starting tomorrow!!! TY TY TY

[@alicenicolai2323]

You are a true artist 👩‍🎨 your understanding of colors, shadows, depth, etc. are truly exemplified in this video. What a treat it must be to be one of your clients! All of these videos are such a gift 🎁 TYSM dear Nikki! 🙏🏼

[@givemesunscreen]

Duuude what the f. I’ve followed so many tutorials throughout the years and seriously could never get my eye shadow to ever look the way the makeup artist has it on. It always looked muddled together. I followed along with this tutorial and for once it looks the way i’ve always wanted it to, thanks to you!!! ❤

[@leiracines8385]

Your step by step tutorial is hands down the very best I have watched for hooded eyes. The pace is absolutely perfect.Your explanation on how to use each brush for each step is so helpful. The technique for applying the shadow colors is demonstrated very well. The lighting is perfect. The close up camera shots really help to understand the technique. Seeing how you even hold the brushes when applying is even helpful. You're holding them at the end and using a very light touch and a small amount of product. I finally get it! Thank you very much! Now I need to practice. 😮

[@sherry4265]

You are so pretty and so talented, Nikki! Love everything about your videos so far including these straight to the point tutorials and products reviews. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with the rest of us.

[@AGLPS]

I AM SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU ON YT. I adore you. You are the most 'comfortable' to watch. I love your voice, and I really like your camera locations

[@hdprincess2004]

Even though I have far more hooded eyes than you do, I feel like this is something I can actually do. This is a technique I’ve seen before, but never explained so simply, and thoroughly. Thank you so much for making this seem like something I can do!!

[@courtneyploucha1168]

I just discovered your channel today and I am addicted!! I have never worn much makeup or been good at applying it but I have always wanted to be. I am in love with you and your videos and accomplished nothing today because I could not stop watching them. 😂 I was in a car accident in 2013 and due to blunt force trauma to my face, my eye socket was shattered and my left eye globe ruptured. I now have plate and screws and a prosthetic eye on the left. Due to the trauma I lost most of the fat around that eye socket so my eyes look different. I have a hooded eye on the right and not hooded anymore on the left. I prefer the not hooded to be honest. I was wondering if you could do a video showing tricks and tips that can make my eye structure look more similar to each other. Most people say they can’t tell the difference but I can….but considering what it looked like prior to all the 4 surgeries I am happy with the outcome. I wish I was able to show you a photo.

[@ShaddeyNNM]

BEST hooded eye makeup tutorial I've seen.

Thank you looks so pretty and your eyeshadows are gorgeous earthy shades! I’m so glad to see a tutorial for hooded eyes that doesn’t include making a distinct eyeliner wing because I think eyeliner is too bold for me

[@kristarenee805]

Nikki, this video is in my favorites!! Sooo helpful🥳

The BEST TUTORIAL on HOODED EYES!!

[@bajoyf]

Just what I was looking for. A sensible shadow tutorial. Your explanation of placement is teaching me what to correct from what I use to do. How do you identify and care for your makeup brushes?

[@SusanSlattery]

Excellent tutorial Nikki! Like you, both my eyes are different. I'm considerably older than you. Both my eyes are hooded, but one is much easier to work with.

[@Ash-gj2lf]

Now I finally realize why eyeshadow has always looked clownish on me. I have hooded eyes omg. Thank you for this 🙏🏻

[@annschickerling5419]

Wow stunning!! Definitely going to try my hand at this... Thanks so much

You NEED to try the Nars smudge proof eyeshadow primer!!! It's a MUST for oily eyelids!!! My eyeshadow lasts ALL day! I have oily eyelids plus I sweat a lot because I'm a nervous person LOLLL but the eyeshadow helps my eyeshadow stay put LEGIT ALL DAY

[@rosalindadavila7468]

Thank you . Very informative video. Also what lip combo/gloss are you wearing. Looks so good

[@kemberlymclain5800]

Loved this video for hooded eyes....being nearly 60, my eyes are more hooded than ever but I love to wear my shadows. Over the past 10 years I've certainly had to make changes in applying my make up. Thank you for this video, even being 60, I really want to add a bit of shimmer to my eyes.

[@tonyasullivan1164]

Your video I'll give you look so professional and nice it's crazy you only have 10,000 subscribers by the quality of your videos I would definitely think you'd be in the millions

Can you do a full you tube on how you did your face in this video? Your entire look here is something that I’m looking to try to learn for myself. Please?❤

[@HMNayef]

Wow! Love it. Would you please make a video about applying winged eyeliner for hooded eyes? I saw your eyeliner on Susan Yara's video, and I love it!

[@nicolehalligan9024]

I'm so glad I saw you on Mixed Makeup! Now I'm subscribed and following you, too! You're gorgeous, clear and precise, and just so fun and engaging to watch! What brand is the black mirror you're using in the video? It appears to be a comfortable size.

[@Lankanqt]

Thank you so much for this. Can you please do a makeup tutorial on best drugstore makeup for full coverage/longevity makeup look? or Bridal make up? Also tips on high humid/summer weather makeup?

[@joanmaunez4997]

Thank you SO MUCH for this!!! I’m still getting used to applying shadow with my eyes open🤦🏼‍♀️ I may need to apply mascara last since I have long eyelashes, and with lashes curled and mascara on they get in the way of doing shadow. Practice! Practice!

[@girlboss8299]

I think this tutorial might actually work for me 💗 I’ve watched tons of videos but it’s difficult because I have hooded AND downturned eyes - similar to Emma chamberlain’s eyes. It’s so hard for me to do any eye makeup

[@gloriasaliba3395]

Amazing

[@latina061988]

Could you do a video on the different eyeliner styles and techniques? Pencil vs liquid vs using eyeshadow vs winged vs non winged eyeliner etc

[@elizabethfarrell23]

I would say this technique is simply a socket focus, the 'hooded eyes' are still very much obviously there adding to how beautiful everything is, but you are just focusing on the socket, the way some techniques focus on the eye line or lashes, there are so many ways to define the face. E.g, painting the lips red is not meant to make then look bigger/like something they're not, but rather to define the lip shape. No illusion here Nikki, just definition of one facet instead of the other. :)

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

The best tutorial for hooded eyes ever. I have seen similar tutorials but this was so very specific and effective. Thank you!

[@deann3621]

Thabk you for this thorough video. Can you recommend an eye shadow base/primer for very crepey, loose, mature and textured eyelids?

[@cassondrafaye]

So helpful! Can you drop your skincare routine 👉👈

[@Daniela-ts7yz]

Hello 👋 girlie. Lovely makeup look!! What brand and shade is your lipstick?

[@irissampayo242]

My fiance's sister went to get her wedding makeup trial done at a salon. She has pretty hooded/deep set eyes. It looked...pretty meh. They put thick black liner on her lid🙄 made her eyes look so heavy and closed. I feel like a lot of people just do the same makeup techniques for everyone. I ended up doing her makeup for her using this video and it looked beautiful. She was so happy with it and was getting compliments all night:)

[@anjilyoutube9700]

Could you show us your hair tutorial ? You look so lovely ❤

[@menalraju1159]

tysm pls do eyeliner and inner corner eyeliner for hooded eyes liquid and cream pls maybe powder too

[@majalelloriaga3786]

Trying this! Thank you! Also, do you mind sharing your lipstick color? I prefer glossier lips opposed to matte lips. Thanks again!
