Simple, ground-breaking change for me. Techniques for crepey & hooded eyelids. Over 50 Beauty.

[@Sophia-uu1im]

Yay! Finally an outer corner/V shape that I could see and understand how applied. I usually blend and blend into a muddy mess. Thank you! And yes, very helpful for my hooded eyes.

[@TheHoodedLid]

So glad it's helpful to you!!

[@lorischneider2998]

I really appreciate your tutorials and information for mature eyes. Thank you for exploring fun colors and textures with eyeshadow. I start to feel as if I should scale back to neutrals as I head towards 60, but you give me confidence to keep using color - it always looks so great on you!

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thank you so much. I've feel like I've been on a bit a neutral thing lately, too, and it's nice to get back to some color.

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Gorgeous look and love the technique tips/pointers. I definitely need a couple more mirrors!

[@TheHoodedLid]

Makes me feel a bit like a crazy old lady....it works!

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

So excited to learn new tips from you! ❤️

[@TheHoodedLid]

Happy Sunday my friend!

[@jennyhooper3677]

Hello. London calling. I’ve been watching your various best of the year videos. What I would like to tell you, is that as far as my makeup is concerned your posts have been the very best of the year for me. I might not be able to access all of the products but your techniques have changed and enhanced all that I do with my face treatments and cosmetics. I have learned so much from you that I feel like a different person. Fully revitalised and restored. Thank you so much.

[@TheHoodedLid]

Jenny! Thank you so much for touching base and letting me. It makes me so happy to know that I've made a positive impact! Thanks for watching!

[@robinspencer9611]

Oh my gosh! I can’t wait to try this technique on my deep set, VERY hooded, crepey eyes! Again, another lovely look my friend!🥰🌈🦋🌺🌺🌺

[@scotti3]

Im only 21 but you are the only youtuber I've found with a similar eye shape to me!! Thank you so much! So helpful

[@mariecichocki4483]

I loved it. I do have crepey lids and I will definitely try this look.

[@olinayoung6287]

Hello lovely glamourous lady 💕🌸!! I have 3 mirrors too lol, and a towel on my vanity table; but haven’t even been using eye shadow palettes lately bc my lids, geesh 🙄!! But I’m here for inspiration!! Gorgeous look & fabulous demo, thank you!

[@TheHoodedLid]

I hear you!

[@Michelle-il2cf]

I'm 33, but have pretty deeply hooded lids, where the crease comes below the lower lash line, you're the best at explaining how I can work with what I've been given. It also is very helpful how you describe different types of hooded lids in some of your videos, it helps me identify who I'm watching and if that technique will even match me! Lovely! Also you're beautiful and I personally think hooded eyes look way sexier for lack of a better word - sultry maybe? Yeah, anyway, thanks for your content!! I'd love a video about liner on hooded eye shapes! Or maybe you have one already I haven't come across - I noticed in one video you tightlined to a point and then regular lined over the lashes the rest of the way - I bet you have lots of tips on liner

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thank you so much - and I love that you have embraced and love your hooded lids! We all should! I do have a a video on winged liner and another on a winger liner "stamp." Just go to my main page and sort by "popularity" the liner video is up there! I hope it's helpful to you!

[@christinacarroll4611]

I too love to experiment and play prior to washing my face at night. It reduces the anxiety of messing up and sometimes leads to happy, unexpected results. It is super helpful to watch you explore new techniques. Ever since I saw Caroline Barnes latest masterclass on hooded eyes, I have wondered what that might look like on you. Of course, I have been experimenting with it prior to washing my face. It is similar to your looks in the elongation of the outer v, but incorporates shading under the lower lash line and generous mascara.

[@TheHoodedLid]

I don't care for lower lash line shading on me. I find it called attention to the darkness under my eyes (and my puffiness) and makes them look smaller. I'll do it once in a while, but it's not a "go to" look for me. I feel the same way about mascara. I actually like many looks without mascara, I feel it looks much softer and less made-up on me.

[@cindyp5132]

You have an amazing amount of total eye space, I would use a lighter transition color bringing it further up closer to the brow, then go in with a normal transition color, then darker, etc. I also wonder if you didn't bring ANY transition color onto your lid (except for the very outer corner) if that wouldn't allow you to lighten the lid better giving contrast and making your lid space appear bigger? Because once you darken it even with just a transition shade it's almost impossible to lighten... Often as we age the skin on top of the eye starts to hang over in the inner corner area and to camouflage we can bring the light shimmer right over top of that skin (using your finger works perfectly) Nisha at Sugar Puff & Fluff is a master at doing this and most don't realize that's what she's doing. Pat McGrath shades are beautiful but I don't think they're made to be standalone especially with aging eyes! The pink definitely suits you 💗 Fyi- always use a magnifying mirror (5x Simple Human) with a 2nd normal mirror and go back & forth. Just thought I'd share!! 🤍

Love that duo chrome green shade!

[@TheHoodedLid]

Unfortunately, it's a bit too dark on me. The concept is beautiful, though.

[@ariannefowler455]

I'm interested in trying this technique. I already have the Cle du Peau concealer so I don't need to purchase it. Yay! I have not tried it as a primer. As for the Pat McGrath, I only order from Sephora now. The delayed shipping and the fact that some items have come broken because they were not packed well are the reasons I stopped ordering directly from the PM website. I want her new palette, but I want to see some demos/reviews first.

[@TheHoodedLid]

Let me know how the Cle de Peau works for you. I feels it's a bit heavy under the eyes but on the eyelids it's amazing!

[@ariannefowler455]

@@TheHoodedLid I agree, I don't like it under the eyes. I saw today Sephora now has the Huetopian palette.

[@TheHoodedLid]

@@ariannefowler455 Darn! I checked Sephora this am and I didn't see it. Off to order it now!

[@lubazak636]

Pretty look. I use Too Faced Glitter Glue for all shimmer shades right before I put them on, and it locks them on to prevent transfer. I still have oily face and lids at 63 so I use Cover Girl Lid Lockup, set with powder all over the lid prior to applying any shadows, anywhere, on the lid, but still use Too faced glitter glue if doing an all matte look. I have a passion for eyeshadow and I have tried many different things, cheap and expensive, to come up with this fail safe formula for me.

[@TheHoodedLid]

Oily lids are a challenge for sure! Glad you found something that works for you!

[@rudeerude5730]

That was beautiful. Different and so so nice. You didn’t go so far up but so nice I’m going to try it. I just love you I learn so much from you.

[@TheHoodedLid]

Yay! I'm so glad to hear it!

[@amytrumbull156]

This looks really nice and I think using a touch of concealer just under the outer v on your eyelid to clean up the eyeshadow that’s there would really pull it together.

[@gypsysnickerdoodle4354]

I am astonished PMG textures & finishes work on a crepe lid, like mine. 🤩 This gives me some greedy thoughts…

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I liked it...but would have put the brown in an arch just above where you finished, just to try and make the 'crease' a tiny bit higher. 👍👍❤️

[@Kindlyone777]

Do you use eye primer to prep? Will you please do a tutorial on eyeshadow prep before eyeshadow makeup? Thanks you ❤

[@TheHoodedLid]

I don't! I'll often get concealer on my eyes and powder that or smooth is out before going on with shadows. If my lids are particularly red, I'll use a dryer concealer on them and then powder since I don't like a a sticky base for shadows.

[@Kindlyone777]

@@TheHoodedLid thank you 😊

[@justatexasgirl5583]

I do that too! It’s so relaxing!

[@gypsysnickerdoodle4354]

Asian chicks perfected using a silicon sticker in their crease. I don’t know if the pulling t9 get it off is a great idea, but it looks hella effective. My Dad had an RCAF military career of deep-sea diving, sea survival training, & air flight search & rescue work. His eyelids were really bothersome for him & I recommended surgery, because they literally folded so that he could’t see. Veterans Affairs covered it for him, because it impaired his ability to read & drive. It hurt like hell for a week, but he looks fantastic & he says he douse not feel facially & eye-strain sleepy from trying to hold his eyes unnaturally wide enough to be able to read or drive.

[@amytrumbull156]

I use eyelid tapes on just my right eye because it’s way more hooded and a different shape than my left and it evens them out so they look the same. Love it.

[@sundaysommers1476]

[@maddyfox8545]

Lots of good tips here today thank you. I have this palette and have recently purchased a few mirrors so I’ll give it a go. I find the No5 Wayne Goss brush (from his edit collection, now available for purchase individually) is just amazing to get that straight on hands free blend section just perfect. I know you’re not a fan but I just had to share as I have the brushes you use (and find them helpful in their place too) but the No5 has been a game changer for me. My blending skills are crap and that brush is literally like a magic wand, it just comes in and fixes everything!!

[@TheHoodedLid]

Thanks for the info!

[@robinhaynal8673]

@@TheHoodedLid I agree with Maddy, the Wayne Goss No5 brush from his edit collection is wonderful. I purchased the entire set before brushes were available individually. I've found uses for all of them but the No5 is amazing! The Cle de Peau concealer is the BEST ever eyeshadow primer. Been using for years! The SPF 25 is an added bonus. Love all the colors you used. Sometimes us ladies of a certain age tend to shy away from color.Personally, I feel color makes our eyes pop😘

You’ve got to check out Rae Morris’ KZbin videos. There aren’t many. There just aren’t enough videos because she’s more of a famous makeup book author. She does a hooded lid demonstration posted on KZbin and it’s mind blowing. I’ve started doing my eyeshadow and blush completely differently. In case you don't know, but I’m sure you do, Rae Morris is a famous makeup artist. She does some great eye makeup videos. She does some videos with Trinny just because they’re friends

[@monicafranzo9378]

Just saw one of your recent videos ,and wondering why you are using such expensive products ? If I go to Sephora and really like a lipstick etc ,I will purchase it . But I use over the counter mostly . Reply if you can .👍

[@JuliesMakeupadvice60]

Oh but what if your over 60 with wrinkled lids and hooded eyes then what do you suggest really smaller wrinkled hooded eyes. Thsnk you Julie

Same thing.

You look lovely! Easier technique for sure.🥰❤️

[@TheHoodedLid]

I'm excited about eyeshadow again!

[@denisemarie6131]

That mirror is cute! I like the small size of it. Is it still made? I have to give a stretch to the skin. But another way to tackle it is using a brush that swipes the shadow out across the hood. So I don’t necessarily have to always hold the skin taut. I am liking Sonia G Jumbo Concealer. It’s good for pulling out shadows and cleaning up edges. Also nice for laying base powder and making the under brow shadow blend with transition shadow.

[@TheHoodedLid]

I've had that mirror for decades!! Not even sure where I got it!

[@lorilad1]

OMG! This is so funny....I have the exact same mirror. I received it as a bridal shower gift. And no matter how many others I get, this one is the best for brows or delicate work. Have a great day!

The pink Sigma brush is a E25, excellent for the crease.

[@TheHoodedLid]

Yes that's what it is.

[@mariac1437]

Curious, you didn’t apply shadow underneath your eyes like I see so many do to tie it together, what is your opinion in that?

[@TheHoodedLid]

I don't like shadow underneath for me. I'll do it once in a while, but for me, because of the size of my eyes and all the "junk" under my eyes, I feel cleaner is better.
