[@MakeupbyMyrna]

hey guys, here are answers to the most asked questions i've seen in the comments: 1) i used all makeup geek eyeshadows for this look.The ones I use to create the "good side" are peach smoothie, creme brulee, mocha and mirage, and sometimes corrupt to darken the lashline. i didn't list them because you can use any shadows you have, it is not necessary to get these exact ones. 2) the "good side" eyeliner is the Isadora Glossy Eyeliner Waterproof in chrome black. I live in Berlin, Germany, so I get it from Douglas here. I don't think it's available in the States unfortunately, but you may be able to find it on ebay. I don't know a dupe either because it is pretty unique. 3) "good side" and "bad side" is not meant to be a judgement but is just for distinction and made it easier for me to structure the video. 4) for those asking about my eyebrows, i did get them done here in berlin at a place called belladerma. they are not microbladed but done with regular permanent makeup using long time liner colors, and i have both hair strokes and shading. i drew on my shape myself, and i did tell them exactly how i want them and came in for several touchups until i was happy with them. they have lasted me almost 3 years now! there is some fading though, so i will probably get them touched up some time next year. 5) I love you guys! :)

[@mckenziecooper1422]

What is the chubby liner you use to tight line?

[@rebellefleur435]

Makeup by Myrna just found your channel. You are amazing, so glad I found you! What a helpful tutorial...subbed!!

[@AShadeOfYou]

Makeup by Myrna It makes your L eyebrow seem closer to your nose bridge. Weird...

[@marieschulz8955]

Makeup by Myrna wow thx that's so helpful...😁

[@jacieatteng8411]

What did you use to tightline?? Is that eye liner?

[@danyascully8508]

THE BAD SIDE IS LITERALLY ME WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING ALL THIS TIME OMG. This video explains why my eyeshadow never looked like the tutorials even though I followed every step perfectly. I always wondered what I was doing wrong and the answer is nothing, I just wasn't doing my eye makeup so that it would suit my eye shape. This was a life changing video...THANK YOU

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Danya Scully same have have hooded eyes I always hate to put eyeshadow or eyeliner on because made my eyelids look puffy. The other tutorials never worked for me

[@AQHYAgrl]

Omg I said the SAME thing! and I consider myself like, pretty good at makeup! Wow I was wrong lol

[@MariW736]

Preach.

[@ginginami]

Omg me too. Every single thing she did I just thought "Damn it that too?" Best hooded eye tutorial I've seen. Now to practice.

[@AlejandraLopez-hd9pf]

Wow! I just realized i have hooded eyes! Haha 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jellirox]

This video make me realize I have hooded eyes and that I’ve been watching all the wrong make up tutorials. THANK YOU

[@missjodiblue]

Hahahaha me too! I'm 32 and my mind is blown.

[@shelbyorso6134]

[@ABCAbc-tv3ic]

Hahaha same here

[@christinaribena3972]

Ha Ha and me!! 😂

[@Jenleahhh]

When you randomly watch a youtube video and discover you’ve been doing your makeup wrong your whole life....

[@GreatGreebo]

Right?!? 🤦‍♀️

[@kjperez83]

pretty much..lol

[@DogCatLady2004]

Lmao that's me.

[@CC-mq7wz]

This is, BY FAR, the best hooded eyes tutorial I've seen. My mind is BLOWN. Every video I've seen has emphasized product names and shades, but not technique. This is just...art. I've literally asked "explain it like I'm 5 years old", and nobody has until now. Going to a wedding this summer, and can't wait to try this! I'm gonna practice. Thank you so much!

[@elliport14]

the day i figured out i could put eyeshadow above my lid was like a whole new world opening up before me

LMAO so true!!

[@z0mbihunter]

Lol

[@hooooba94]

still trying 😭😭😭 my eyelid crease and the crease get exagerrated 😢😢😢

[@leahhowell9892]

The left side looks like Emma Stone and the right side looks like Margo Robbie

[@tashaorcutt8558]

🤣

[@tashaorcutt8558]

Not a bad thing she’s beautiful .🙂

[@tashaorcutt8558]

She’s beautiful without makeup 🥰

[@tashaorcutt8558]

What did you use for tight line

[@melaniewood3060]

Exactly!

[@mommy5654]

I am 33 years old and have been wearing makeup since 5th grade. I’ve never felt super confident with how I’ve done my makeup. I have heavy hooded eyes and I tend to like a darker eye look. I was watching your video and decided to take all of my makeup off and do my makeup just like you showed us. I cannot tell you how happy this made me. Makes me want to cry because it makes me feel more confident. Thank you so much ❤️

[@haileystafford415]

There’s so much space between her eye lid and her eyebrows. My hooded eyes are just crease then eyebrows. No room to work with 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@olaaa3303]

Same here the struggle 😂

[@miss.gorillagrip4.20]

It’s because her eyebrows are raised high

[@taya4668]

Yeah I have yet to find a makeup artist that has REALLY hooded eyes like I do. I have absolutely no lid space to work with and my space before the brow is too puffy for anything to look cute

[@japanandpokemon]

same

[@keiraknight5659]

Me too 😔

[@JennyT101]

Great video. It's nice to hear someone say something nice about hooded eyes. I'm so tired of you tubers taking about hooded eyes as if it's something horrible that happens as you get old. Many of use were born with hooded eyes.

[@majaslavkovic7445]

Never forget that Kate Moss has hooded eyes. They're all just jealous :D

[@verotattoo]

Maja Slavković dont forget the beautiful jennifer lawrence as well

[@halien6384]

jen tangen i actually think hooded eyes are so pretty. I wish I had them sometimes. I feel like my eyes are too big

[@Maverickthegoof]

doesnt Nikkitutorials have hooded eyes?

[@leahbelardo7696]

I hate my hooded eyes. I can't do makeup like most youtube gurus do. But I'm very glad if I found actual hooded eye gurus

[@suriya5318]

I only recently noticed i have hooded eyes 😒 It explains why my makeup never came out nice after following tutorials. I'm slowly learning to change up my ways. Thanks girl ❤️

[@foofy3406]

Suriya Ali me too

[@callmehmano2311]

Foof y ikr its anooyying

[@PeaceLilyvariegated]

Same here was hard to accept but I'm all for embracing my body so done with the self hate! I can't wait to try this out

[@iamtherabbitinred]

Same. I've learned to pull my liner up not out but was still using too much. I WANT the look she does on her left eye, for my daily look and couldn't figure out why I couldn't see my eye shadow. Smoky eyes are great for a special event though too 😁

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

This is the only tutorial that needs to be on KZbin for basic hooded-eye make up application. Definitive. Well done Myrna.

[@anisalainna]

I like how her bad side is not super dramatic unlike other bad-side-good-side videos

[@maryamaman7279]

do a 'smoky eye' tutorial fro hooded eyes please.

[@MakeupbyMyrna]

i have plenty, check out my hooded eyes playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLyAns9O474XbJ0KpJUyCyi3o2dX_lYDKt

[@ivyanderson9048]

Maryam Aman dont be hard in yourself. Keep things up beat. Believe in yourself.

[@mishshell2884]

I agree.

[@amandareinhart5553]

First off, I’m pretty sure I’ve never commented on a KZbin video in my life. I’m in my early 30s and I don’t know much about makeup. I learned a bit from my mom and picked up things along the way. I was getting so frustrated with particularly eyeliner because on everyone else it looks so pretty but mine always smudged and kept going on my “hood”, and i just didn’t get why! And my stupid eyeshadow would smudge on my hood too! I stumbled upon this video and this is life changing. I never knew I had “hooded eyes” (honestly never even thought about it) but from everything you described, I was like oh yeah that is something I do. I just tried to do makeup how you suggested and it is transformative. Thank you so much for making this!!

[@louisemartinez7576]

I THINK this is the best hooded eye tutorial ever. I've been watching lots of other hooded eye techniques/tutorials but when I try it, it looks really bad lol. Thanks!

[@iolacj123]

I love this - accepting that people don’t like their hooded eyes but encouraging us to embrace and work with what we have instead of trying to hide/fix it. Thanks so much for the vid! Definitely helped me 😊🙏♥️ x

[@haleyhoudini]

Putting the shadow ABOVE my crease and tightlining the upper lid.. So clever!! *mind blown*

[@TheLadyPlantagenet]

Haley Lister is this sarcastic?

[@despepitesdanstonchocolat]

TheLadyPlantagenet I don't think, it was really a smart move

[@alekkacosmos9807]

TheLadyPlantagenet I think she was surprised as many of us who have hooded eyes that something so simple solves our everyday problems. I stopped applying eye shadow and eyeliner because it always falls off my eyes, now I'm excited to try this!!

[@madisonwilson9341]

sister sarcasm

[@Ispmachado]

this was so eye opening ( no pun intended)

[@livestrong456]

mindyourownbusiness lol

[@sukritisalunke7442]

This deserves more likes

[@Interesting.Factor]

Lmfao 😂😂😂 good one!

[@lauragraves4342]

I guess you were just "winging" it. I'm blushing for you and this is an eyeshadow tutorial.

[@reaudiousxx758]

HAHAHA

[@kellycurry9164]

I am a 50 yr old woman and have hooded eyes. This is by far the best video I have seen. Thank you for keeping it short and to the point. I can't wait to try the techniques.

[@MKW369]

Best tutorial on hooded eyes that I’ve seen. Thank you!!

[@dmgraddy1]

Same!

[@shikarasky3490]

i love your voice and how soft you sound, you're not screaming hello beautiful at the top of your lungs for the opening (its great and all lots of youtubers do it but some days i need a nice toned voice), and this video is so useful thank you so much

[@liliaguillermo5203]

shikara sky jjbv

[@MissJoysArtRoom]

Agreed! This is part of why I like her so much, her voice is easy to listen to. I sometimes wonder why she rarely smiles though, she is so beautiful when she smiles!

[@stardustandbeyond]

Exactly what I was thinking too, a lot of beauty gurus annoy me within the first ten seconds of the video and I have to turn it off but I watched this the whole way through and didn't get irritated or bored :)

[@livestrong456]

shikara sky seriously ! I can’t stand that tv commercial-seeming you tubers

[@SeerWalker]

my problem is I have hooded eyes, low brows /and/ shaky hands haha

[@AlejandraLopez-hd9pf]

sophie 😂 this made me LOL.

[@itsleighnola]

Same. I literally started pulling a Jeffree star and shaving mine off from underneath and bulking them up too to move them up higher. It's made all the difference!

[@sierrawhitehead7910]

Same!!!! 😤😂

[@vivxenz2434]

ME TOO

[@Okashiable]

Hooded eyes and eyebrows here too lol, I'm like "bring it up where?! that's where the highlighter in my non-existing eyebrow arch is supposed to go?!" :D

[@sarasteachings]

You said "No one cares" BUT I tell you I do care! This validation of my eyes shape was super impacting and meaningful to me. I loved all of your tips and side comments because it helped me to feel it is passible for me to use eye make-up and empowered me to embrace more my feminine energy. Deep and warm thank you!

[@szczuplutka85]

I just wanted to say BIG THANKS! I’m blonde with pale skin and blue eyes. And I think I’ve always had hooded eyes / droopy eyelids but only noticed them at the age of 33? I thought I was getting old... thought of buying antiwrinkle cream, etc. you made me realize it’s not age, it’s shape. I Care. Thank you 😚

[@Marzipan771]

If you look at women generally there are more with hooded eyes than without. Don't hate your eyes they are beautiful

[@lauracree4572]

I'm almost 50 and I always want to look my best, but also keep it somewhat natural. have learned so much from this. Thank you! You are great to watch and you make it look easy :)

[@marilynbryant7441]

Laura Cree "

[@hencat123]

Your eyebrow tattoo is the best I have ever seen,,,whoever did it really knew what they were doing. Looks great! Great tutorial for hooded eyes.

[@caracaplinger1860]

Thank you so much for this video! When I hit 40, my eyelids started to droop. Finding realistic makeup tips online is a wild goose chase. I love the practical tips, "eyelid positivity" and use of both drugstore and professional makeup supplies. Keep up the great videos!

[@amyharris2384]

This was the best tutorial I have ever seen for hooded eyes! Thanks sooooo much!!❤️❤️

[@MakeupbyMyrna]

amy harris so glad, thanks amy! 😊

[@crystalbeck4822]

I agree. I have seen so many but this really was detailed and EXPLAINED WHY which is helpful. Thank you ❤️

[@hmmmph3578]

I agree.

[@shoppershopper5334]

I absolutley AGREE! (see above :o)

[@MrsDcivan]

amy harris Agreed

[@danad.8338]

I am 36 years old and I have never worn eyeshadow or eyeliner (I always look like the bad eye)....until now! This video is EXCELLENT and it just changed my life 🙌 Thaaaaaaaank you!!! I cannot wait to try these techniques. Keep up the wonderful work!

[@sylphs2352]

I have hooded eyes, I usually do "the badside" and I love how it looks on me ;)

[@msfe313]

I thought the bad eye looked better.

[@rtinmotion]

Girl, thank you! I've been wearing makeup for 40 years (53), and I learned so much! You are funny and love listening to you. Pacing was perfect. I wanna see more!

[@amandab9973]

Yeah idk if I'm sleep deprived (26 hours no sleep so far. Work) but your little intro telling us not to feel negatively about our eye shape and everything straight up brought a tear to my eye. Been stressing about this eye shape and what you said helped a lot. Thank you

[@___Laura5]

Kinda random comment, but I hope you've been able to catch up with some sleep... It's so crucial

[@dna_666]

Seriously this is genius, I never realized this is what I've been doing all along..! I never comment on videos, but I have to tell you this is the most useful tutorial I've ever come across 🙏🏼 thank you!

[@danad.8338]

Diana Aitken This is me 🙌

[@manifestwithbabs]

I am EXTREMELY impressed that your open eye is fully open while the other one is closed. When I try to close my one eye, my other eye is almost shut as well 😆

[@PeaceLilyvariegated]

Like any other time I can wink but when I'm applying make up I become incapable 😅🤣

[@mabrigidasantiago5013]

This is so far the best video on hooded eyes I’ve watched. Illustrated and explained well. She’s my fave ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@krystlesosa]

LOVED the tutorial!! Also... appreciate how you get straight to the tutorial and talk less than many other channels out there!

[@suzyq8134]

Wow wow WOW! I just wanted useful tips on hooded eyes, but I also got a beautiful pep talk on why I shouldn’t be embarrassed about them anymore! They’re not a curse - they’re just different! Why did I never see it that way before?! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Xxx

[@jessicapham1624]

Of course we care what you want to say. I thought the comment regarding loving our features first is so unique and reflective! I never heard this thought before! You just gave everyone a boost of confidence.

[@amydowns3675]

Glad I came upon this older video because it really helped me to understand what I could be doing differently or not doing at all. Especially the crease being higher and not highlighting too far down from the eyebrows. My makeup is looking much better now. Thanks so much for the help!

[@elainecooper8882]

I never comment on ANY videos but this young woman has proven that less is more and what colors where and how much will make all the difference in the world! Impressive and refreshing truth!

[@MakeupbyMyrna]

Thank you guys so much for your amazing feedback! I'm super happy that this video is helpful to so many of you! ♥

[@irinat475]

Makeup by Myrna great video 👏❤ i hate my hooded yes but I can do nothing about that.. all your tips are great.. but what happens with false lashes? they always look too big on my eyes and no flattering at all 😕😕😕

[@irinat475]

Makeup by Myrna *hooded eyes

[@MakeupbyMyrna]

try the red cherry 747s lashes! they are very short and natural and work perfectly for hooded eyes!

[@irinat475]

Makeup by Myrna thank you for the response 😊 I will give them a try!

[@lyfeasmemecsit6203]

Makeup by Myrna I seriously was so hit by this advise I teared up... like it's so hard researching what WORKS.. was and am! So great full for something to FINALLY WORK ..💋thank you

[@dreamingbiglivingbold2075]

Thank you so much! This is one of the best hooded eye tutorials I've seen and I can't wait to do this!

[@melonyanderson5099]

I've never watched an entire eye makeup tutorial let alone commented on one until right now. You explained it so well, I actually understood what u were talking about. Thank u.

[@satukoponen6932]

Theres an obvious reason why a good blending brush and a good quality eyeliner make a difference if you have hooded eyes! I tend to do my liner 3/4 of my eye so I get a so called "lifting effect." 😊😉

[@RedneckNerd617]

Satu Koponen um.... no? My go to eyeliner is the maybelline define a line for pencil, nyx for liquid. Both drugstore. My go to blending brush is bh cosmetics. Came in a set of 7 for 10 bucks. It's all preference. You don't need to go jump and spend 20 plus on a brush or liner. And eye shape doesn't matter

[@maddieclarke258]

Julia Perez I don't think they meant expensive when they said good quality. Plenty of inexpensive products are amazing quality just as some expensive products are kind of crappy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I interpreted their comment as saying that you have to do some searching to find what works for you rather than trying to work with the first item you pick up.

[@ChibiColor]

Love the way you did your makeup. Left was "emo goals" when I was an angsty teen.

[@juanagonzalez4958]

Thankyou for making me feel that there is nothing wrong with my eye shape. You are totally right, I just have to learn how to work with my eye shape ❤️

[@malc1580]

Thank you for this. I’ve watched several “hooded eyelid howto”s, but somehow you were the only one to get through to me. 😭 thank you!!

[@ameliamay5112]

Holy crap! I have been doing my eye makeup so freaking wrong! I basically do everything you did on your left eye except for the eye shadow. Thank you so much for sharing this! It has helped me so much!

[@heyitsdarker1491]

See, I'm that 5% that tries to do the good side, but ends up doing the bad side on accident

[@amandaluvsya1204]

Me too honestly

[@tammyikonen3919]

Me too!! 😉

[@dolly_dagger]

Me too... 😫

[@madeiranislander]

Same 🤣

[@tinyspyro8163]

same >.

[@sofiabello7921]

OMG, your tutorials definitely change my life. Finally, makeup looks good on me 😊

[@elaceyc6853]

I just want to say thank you for your inspirational speech about loving your eyes for what they are and how being unique is a good thing. And you even made a nice shoutout to women who have hooded eyes to where you can’t really see your eyelid at all. The tight line idea is A+ advice! ❤️

[@waveleopard3074]

i think the "bad side" still looks really pretty, maybe just more 90's style or something. You still look very beautiful, both sides.

[@mamonaislam1668]

Bad side is bad

[@katerinakaterinaki9143]

The way we use to do our make up in 2021 is a replica of the 90's.Her "bad" eye reminds me more of an 80's look that makeup was more messy.Cut crease started at 90's.I was in highschool when we rocked a cut crease eyelook.

[@kirastaley9806]

I was doing everything on the bad side. I followed your tutorial and HOLY COW!!! it looks amazing! Thanks !

[@Sz3roRevan117]

Out of all the videos I've watched this is the most informative and easy to follow video. You've touched on all my problems and actually have a better way of doing it than what I was doing from another video. I can't wait to try this out. Thank you so much!!

[@Jon_Alexis]

Who hates their hooded eyes?? I grew up LOVING mine and despising them if I slept funny and woke up with more lid space on one than the other. That goes to show that you have to love yourself and learn to work with what you’ve got! ❤️

[@MakeupbyMyrna]

Here's a long, chatty video about DO's & DON'Ts for hooded eyes! Took ages to upload :/ i hope this video is helpful ♥

[@priscilaarana2011]

Makeup by Myrna share with us ur fab colourpop

[@RuthRandoms]

Thanks for uploading. I just don't like MU brands that test on animals, but apart from that some really helpful tips.

[@minagica]

Makeup by Myrna it's PERFECT! Thank you!

[@laurasandt6492]

@ Ruth E, how do you know which brands do and which don't test on animals?

[@kkparadee]

I love your video!! I was hoping you could share what products you used? Would love to snag the eyes liners you used on the good eye.

[@YourFavoriteSwiftie]

Great video! As a 42 year old with newly hooded eyes (due to age!) I have been struggling with how to suddenly do my eyeshadow. Your video was one of the best I've seen, so a million thanks!

[@sabrinalavista3280]

Thank you Myrna for an amazing video. I consider myself pretty skilled in applying make up … and I approached your teaching with an open mind and discovered I had NO IDEA that I have hooded eyes! I have been applying my liquid liner in a way that accentuated my hood all these years! I tried your suggestions and not only did I take a fraction of the time doing my eye make up, I loved my new look! Thank you so much for sharing !

[@mahoniebinsamat3163]

I've just come across after getting so frustrated and struggling with applying shadow to my hooded eyes. I've watched so many tutorials but I must say yours is the best I've seen. Others seem so rushed but you take your time in applying and really help with the best way to do it. Thank you so much now off to practice. 😁

[@ashleighholland7673]

Thank you! I have struggled forever on how to show off my shadow when eyes are open. I thought doing thicker liner on top would help. Your video was literally eye opening, can’t wait to try the tips you have listed.

[@kageyama9509]

Finally! A video that actually explains and works for hooded eyes. So tired of seeing videos on this but the girl in the video actually has deep set eyes or just a smaller lid space but not actual hooded eyes ❤️ super helpful!

[@piyalisarkar1035]

I also realised i have hooded eyes few days back.. I felt bad about my newly purchased eye shadow pellet.. Now I understood how to do it.. I used the liner wrong in my whole life before.. Thanks soo much.. Soo helpful ❤️

[@mirandasummer]

this girls is simply amazing and you can tell she is (also) beautiful from within!! yay

[@JanasSpace]

Dear Myrna..that was amaazing....thumb ups.......unbelievable how wrong placing of makeup can distort our eye looks....thank you so much for bringing all these steps to our attention.....and me as a hooded eye gal can appreciate it!....big hug...Jana

[@MakeupbyMyrna]

Jana Kleinerova thanks so much! 😘

[@SpeakEnglishpodcast]

Thank you so much!!

[@kayc.8283]

This is the best eyeshadow tutorial Ive seen on youtube properly explaining where and why I have been failing with my eyeshadow application for hooded eyes. Thanks a million for these tips! Total Game changer!❤❤❤❤

[@ramonadolese97]

I have hooded eyes so thank you. I want to compliment you on doing your very best in chosing your words carefully, trying to not offend this easily offended world. Kudos..lol

[@melaniewood3060]

I agree! So diplomatic. She comes across so darling.

[@barnaby1987]

this video probably just changed my life! I have never realized my eyelids are hooded! I feel like a complete idiot now! But I just never took the time to find out why that eyeshadow doesn't really look good the way it does on others. OMG. God bless you for this video!

[@MaritMarzipan]

sheaduchess same!

[@maleficara6004]

Me too! As this video started I took out my little mirror to inspect my own and HUZZAH! that's what is different about my eyes! I never even realized it. For years I have thought I was just a failure because I followed all the steps I knew and my eye just didn't come out right. Yes, finally, I have seen the light!

[@missundies]

Maleficara Same! I've always thought that I was just the worst at eye make up. I wish I had this video in high school, haha, but I'm gonna look amazing now that I'm 30!

[@AtomicAmy]

This

[@carmenstgermain8557]

I am 50. Just realized a few months ago I have hooded eyes. I just thought they were pretty green eyes for half a century.

[@Hm00m00]

This is so helpful. I love that you take the time to explain the processes (versus just saying what works and what doesn't). I'm new make up and I can't wait to try these out!

[@nyxquatorze5600]

This honestly helped me so much. I have a hooded eye and I struggled to find a good tutorial to help but this was really informative. It was getting to the point all I was using was mascara because I had no idea what else to do. I look forward to trying more things, thanks you.

[@jamiesinger7422]

I can’t believe I’m 43 years old and just today was informed I had hooded eyes, I’ve been to Ulta, Mac and other “makeup artists that never gave me half the useful information that was given in this video. I just thought I had deep eyes- seriously thank you!!!!

[@bettyjune3508]

I have no lid space. My hood touches my lash line. The good part is I don't have to curl my lashes cause my hood does it for me.. lol I can't do a cat eye or a flick cause you can't see it if I do try it looks like Amy Winehouse did my liner.. My eyes are also deep set so I have to watch darker shadows towards the inner eye part. Lots and lots of experimenting on trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.

[@redlady935]

Betty June yep, I get the Amy Winehouse thing too. have tried so many times but a wing disappears unless I do it massive 😢

[@ZeVioloniste]

Hahaha same. I just discovered what this eye shape is called so I had many ugly tries before finding the right way to do things

Betty June on the other hand, those of us with hooded eyes can pull off the full smoky eye in situations where it would look a bit much on our non-hooded sisters! I really recommend practicing and perfecting the smoky eye - it doesn't have to be black, any darker colour that looks nice with your eye colour can look stunning as a smoky eye. Plus i personally find it much, much easier than trying to place shadows precisely on my lid or hood!

I’ve learned that I can’t trust anyone with my makeup bcuz often times some MUAs (or friends lol) dont know how to work with hooded eyes.. Anyway, Tysm! You’re helping a ton of hooded-eyed gals like me 🙌🏼

[@nightsgrow6575]

Hanna De Fiesta same! Whenever I’ve had my makeup done professionally my eyes end up looking like shit and they always look at me like “what is wrong with your face?”

[@stardresser1]

Sooo impressed, can't wait to do this tomorrow...I've watched dozens, and this is def 1 of the absolute best for hooded eyes! Thank you. It's wonderful. I'm excited to see how it goes on my own 60 yr old eyes!

[@kats3632]

For me, this is the most helpful makeup tutorial ever! I now know what works and WHY it works. I understand my features and makeup better now. Thank you!

[@add_xtine775]

I love that this video not only has techniques but products/reasons why it looks a bit wonky and not so flattering on most hooded eyes. I absolutely *cannot* do eyeliner or put on false eyelashes! I've never gotten the liner right, not even kind of and only got lucky with lashes once, thank goodness it was makeup i wore for my aunt's wedding and family photos. I would *live* to see myself with a good smokey black eye with, liner, and falsies. Great video and instructions!

[@Gourgandise]

probably one of the most useful makeup video out there. Thanks!

[@zetawhite433]

Absolutely, its so very helpful. One of the best I've seen!

[@joannecooke9583]

Very helpful x

[@SaraFJones]

This is so drastic! THANK YOU!!!! This makes a huge difference.

[@utuber294]

Absolutely appreciate that you addressed ridiculous, and not being offended, and pointing out that it’s a shape. That goes a long way.

[@Goldiibug]

I knew my makeup looked bad but I didn't know what I was doing wrong. Thanks for this video because I've been doing half of the "bad" look on my eyes for way too long 🙈

[@kl6902]

SChaffee me too!! All of the sudden my eye makeup started looking so bad and I had no idea why!

[@charlotteg.2476]

same haha

[@azm_7188]

Same

[@thomash7975]

I had these issues as a teenager but I learned over time how to change my techniques to suite my hooded eyes. I think it's hard for a lot of girls with hooded lids because most beauty gurus do tutorials that don't work for us.

[@viviancisneros83]

SChaffee same here

[@nicholeperry3438]

Omg thank you so much! Ive struggled to know what to do for my hooded eyes and I’ve pretty much made all of the mistakes you mentioned. What a difference it makes to know the right technique! Thx!

[@sabreenstaples31]

This was so helpful as I have hooded eye lids and struggled for years to get my eyes right(when doing my ow makeup). Myrna, you have encouraged me to approach the way I’m gonna do my lids going forward. Thank you!!

[@RachyRooM]

one of my eyes is a lot more hooded than the other, so remember that when your hating yourselves lol.

[@mayahm750]

RachyRooM oh my Jesus I thought it was just me 😩

[@Oscitant_Otter]

That seems to be pretty common; I remember noticing it a lot when I was trolling through all of the hooded eye makeup tutorials KZbin had to offer a while back.

[@mandy5336]

SAAME it's sad pretty much about making using eyeliner and have one eye perfect and the other a mess even when It was done perfectly..

[@anishajs5799]

it's not much, but mine too! The eye crinkles in there are different. The eyeshadow starts to look different. 😖 Especially, the eyeliner work is difficult.

[@SiSi-xg1hk]

I'm the same way! I think that my facial expressions have influenced the uneven hooded shape over my eyes. I can raise my left eyebrow, but not my right, & my left eyelid is a little more hooded. So, I compensate when I do a cat-eye liner look by making it thick (like how she says not to do). But I think it works because I do it thick liner for glamorous stage performances. I always get compliments on my makeup too.

[@rosethorn0232]

I agree with everything you said here, except the bit about eyebrows. I have downturned eyes, and I find that a straighter brow looks the best. When the brow is too arched, and especially when it is arched and also the ends are drawn really long, it accentuates the droopiness so bad. It's almost like drawing an arrow pointing down on your face. Keeping the brows straight and the tail a little shorter solves that problem.

[@meganhyman8248]

Best video I’ve seen on how to do eye makeup on a hooded eye! Thank you so much

[@HollyHargreaves]

This was really helpful. I have hooded eyes & no idea how to do my eyes, so I don't do them, but want to . Thank you!

[@skateness]

Thanks so much for your message about embracing your hooded eye shape... it was encouraging, and I care and appreciate the message :)

[@marcellak4628]

I just want to say I am 26 years old and didn't even KNOW until like, Saturday, that the reason I have difficulty with eye makeup is that I have hooded lids and that this is a KNOWN eye shape and not just something weird I have---a perception that was reinforced by a Sephora employee when I was 16. I've watched your videos and my life has been changed. Thank you!!!!

[@abbyferrari]

Marcella K I'm 31 and I discovered a few minutes ago with this video.

[@ashleadavis5008]

I just felt like I had been hit by a truck after watching this video... I have struggled for the last ten years trying to make eye make up look decent and my world has just been rocked! Glad others are in the same boat as me 👍🏻

[@vahini36]

Such a great technique and explanations. You are beautiful and so respectful in your delivery as well.

[@natinterested]

I know this is an old video but I just stumbled upon it a few days ago and followed all your tips for a party last night and my eye make up looked flawless. I got so many compliments. I didn't even know my hooded eyes could have such good eyeshadow pay off until your video. Can't thank you enough. Much love ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@acey850]

It's amazing how simple this solution is but most people like me never realized that it is possible.

[@dipno6607]

Ace Referiza same haha

[@emilygusandpedro]

My entire life suddenly makes sense. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@eddification8388]

I really like how you explained each steps. Made it so much easier to understand how the colors should be placed on hooded eyes. I learned something new. Thank you!

[@MuseLovertje666]

This video is so helpful. I am a bit new to more glammy makeup (normally I go for an catwing and that's it) and I kept on having weird droopy eyes from the way I've applied eyeshadow under my eyes. And now I see why. I made all those "wrong" mistakes in the beginning but but clips like this help me improve. Thanks!

[@katiejones7578]

This is the most helpful video I've ever seen. I realise where I've been going wrong all these years now! THANK YOU!

[@illcelebrateyoursuccess8907]

Katie Jones me too girl.

[@courthamann5973]

Seriously?! I needed this video like five years ago. Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@vapour_focus]

That bright color in the eyelids popped my eyes so much more visible and I'm totally hooked on this look 😄 Thank you so much!

[@deborahwygonik7915]

I've watched a lot of channels for hooded eyes. This is the best!
