YES!! Why is it that most of these youtubers feel like they have to brand themselves in that way? It reads very commercial and disingenuous. You can still build your brand and image without all the fake bubbly fluff. It's just a big turn off. Reason 35688557789 that we all adore this woman. REALNESS!!!!

[@MugiwaraSuponji]

as someone kinda in the trifecta of hooded, deepset, and downturned corners, I've been deriving a lot of joy from just using 1 eyeshadow all over. Once you add in more colors it starts to draw attention to the bifurcation of lid vs browbone vs whatever. but just one shadow lets me look in the mirror and really understand where i want more color. and i don't have to make sacrifices for boring colors, I can just slap purple or orange all over and feel like ive done a lewk ✌

[@MissAnimequest]

a lewk! haha, thanks man!

[@roxypicasso66]

i do this when i’m feeling lazy, but now that i think about it, i think it suits my eyes most! the best thing is when you can just take a super shock shadow from colourpop or something and just smidge it all over ya lids and be out the door :))

[@elisabetamicske5717]

I do the same!

[@livymandonguilles]

My eyes are like that and I feel the same! What suits me best is 1 light color and if I feel fancy I'll add glitter on top. Also for the eyeliner I follow my eyeshape (it's not super downturned, just a little), so I go down first and then flick it. I used to do the mistake of going up directly from the corner and it just looked bad. Then I just line the waterline add mascara to the tips of the lashes so they don't fall and BOOM a lewk too!

[@julianna_maluje]

Add to your list „mature” and you are getting my eyes😬

[@karen_lobster]

I've basically never seen any other beauty "guru" actually teach tricks for other face types. You are SO needed and so refreshing girl

[@meinkanta]

Well yeah because it’s kind of useless when they don’t actually have that face type... I’d love it if they did it on models with that face type in the future when the pandemic is over but otherwise it’s not really helpful

[@corralee108]

Checkout AlyArt! She has such a great understanding for different eye and face shapes!

[@PigeoneerToy]

watch Aly Art, she has so many videos that are specific for face shape, eye shape, lip shape, body shape, etc etc etc she's amazing!

[@emclaire7027]

I know Donni Davy, the makeup artist for Euphoria, has said that she loves to do very colorful looks on hooded eyes, and on the show she's done some beautiful looks on Hunter Schafer who has very hooded eyes. So for anyone who wants to do bolder, more out-there looks I highly recommend checking out her stuff, it's really inspired me with what to do with my eyeshadow and liner!

[@snaxicakes]

Ty! I looked up hunter, she has a lot of space between her fold and brow .... I wish that was the way mine was! I really appreciate you sharing her, because it gives me good ideas!

[@no_i_dont_want_no_slugs]

the one thing i love about having hooded lids and practically NO real estate between the brow and eye is that when I curl my lashes and apply a tiny bit of mascara, they're already reaching/touching my brows and it makes them look SUPER long and gives me a youthful look. I like it.

I'm also a member of the hooded eye squad. Lining the upper waterline is a great way to get some definition without losing precious lid space. It feels very weird at first but with time you get used to it.

[@hellykay]

Yes, I do this also and it really "traumatized" when a makeup artist onve told me "well, you are really supposed to line all of your lid". So I doubted myself for a while but I really don't think it suits me in most of the looks I do. But lining the upper waterline is a great way to make it seem like the lid is lined all the way.

[@Phoenix_rae7]

Omg thank you for talking about brush size! Everyone is always talking about using fluffy brushes or big, flat packing brushes. When you don’t have as much real estate, that doesn’t work and just gives you one color all over. 👏🏻🙌🏼

[@alyssah3758]

100% agree that you have to change the “rules” or the “typical” way to apply eyeshadow in order to match your eye shape. I have eyelids like yours with a fold in them and I didn’t learn for yearsssss to go above the fold line but once I did I never went back to how I was applying shadow. Sometimes you just have to try different shapes and different applications to see how your eyes look with different styles. It’s just makeup so have fun girls, it washes off if you mess it up, but practice practice practice is seriously the best advice I could give.

[@AlexandraAnele]

Here's Kel.Lauren's channel by the way! kzbin.info/door/voKIJfodk4IhNAAjrBfx-g EDIT: Kel goes by they/them pronouns, thank you for letting me know! Also, my "lipgloss" is just Aquaphor cause my lips have been SOOO dry and cracked and terrible so I've just been piling that on 😂

I love the fact that you zoom in cause so many videos, people are so far away you really see whats going on.

It's so cool, I have hooded eyes almost like Jennifer Lawrence and this is how I've been doing my eyeshadow for years and it's nice to know that this is what you're actually supposed to do for hooded eyes 💗

[@tyffaneelavely8087]

there is no "supposed" to do. It's just what you can do, if you want more eyeshadow to show. There are no rules to makeup. You can put eyeshadow on your nose if u want lol.

[@pennycaschera203]

You are indeed a artist. While I listen to all your advice I'm often mesmerized by how you hold and work with your brushes.

[@BarbItalia]

When you're old and/or your skin folds over your lid at the outer corners of your eyes, you can't easily extend your shadow or make a tail because it ends up as a stupid CURL upwards, following the little roll of skin you're applying it too.

[@sheilalynn3615]

Sadly, I know that look. Peace Sheila : ).

[@MilaSuchNYC]

Yup, so true.

[@amandarose603]

Place your shadows with your eyes open. My hooded kids droop over on the outer corners and I’m only 32. I do almost all the ground work with my eyeshadow with my eyes open. Then blend with the eyes closed.

I subconsciously lift my brows just so a little bit of lid shows, but I’m 41 yrs old now and all that brow lifting is giving me forehead wrinkles lol.

I gave up completely on the BeauTubers years ago with all the paid reviews and cutthroat antics, but you're an absolute breath of fresh air who actually makes informative and quality material.

[@misaoce3423]

My struggle is that my eyes are like yours, but the fold comes more out in the outer corner, so for me the problem is the flick of the eyeliner crosses it, not just the top part (you know, the "trick" of the diamond shape to pass through it doesn't work) so I have to punt it inside the end of my upper lid. It seems cute, but I would love to be able to do a real long flick)

You have genetic dark circles like me and slightly hooded lids (I have natural double eyelids), which I used to be very conscious about because they didn't seem normal and when I was learning how to do makeup, my eyeliner would smudge, I'd look like a raccoon etc. I've recently learned how to do eye makeup, I'm no beauty guru, but I can get away with a nice peachy or ashy eye look, but I always want to be better.

Yesss-preach the ways of the hooded life! No two hooded lids or eyes are the same. On my hoodies, I love to wing my shadow, lightly contour my socket line, and tightline my lash line w shadow.

[@paulinep343]

the biggest problem i have with my hooded lids is that they droop most on the outer corner. Thats why i feel these techniques look weird on me. Any additional tips for that?:)

[@MonaHerSelfM]

You still follow your eyesocket. With darker, concentrated colors on your outer corner you can camouflage the droopyness a bit, lifting the eye in general, when following her tutorial.

[@MonaHerSelfM]

I too have droopyness on the outer corner. Some days I just contour the eyesocket and leave everything below that nude. Plenty of mascara, boom. A fresh look.

[@tikalupit]

I tried using eyelid tapes (idk if they're easily accessible outside Asia, but here it's usually used to give people with monolids some lift) on the outer corners to help with the droop, and it works alright 😁 Tbh most days I can't be bothered and just rely on half set falsies on my outer corners to give lift.

Great tips! I have hooded kids and not much real estate so I usually shade my eyes towards the outer corners and above the crease, on the lid (some of my lid shows) I put on a light color (usually a metallic or bright color). Sometimes I do a wing but I keep it short otherwise it gets hidden under the outer corner of my lid.

I cannot thank you enough, this is the only hooded eye/extended crease/deep set eyeliner tutorial that has ever worked for me. It's taken me until age 26 to get it right!

I wish someone would help me with my eye makeup. I have almost monolids, very hooded eyes, so bad the hoods stick out further than my eyes and rest on top of my eyelashes.

Please make this a series! Like a halo eye for this eye shape, a soft cut crease, shimmer on the lid etc

I've struggled with my hooded eyes for so long! I just started using the tips you shared in this vid and I can't believe how good my eyeshadow looks. THANK YOU 💖
