I have hooded eyes and I swear, I NEVER knew how to do eyeshadow before watching your videos. I get compliments now all the time on my makeup. Thank you!!

[@laurenr1417]

Me too! 😊

[@susanyakus7364]

You are so right about ditching liquid liners and gels. A hard eye doesn't work as we age. Wait till you get to your 70's! We definitely have to shift our makeup and I like your recommendations. Thanks!

[@DebbiAnn2]

So true! 71 years old here and struggling!

[@AmyKaylasVegas]

I would love to see you do a "Barbie" inspired look with the movie coming out. Or a Pam Anderson look. Or how you did your makeup before you were a professional. Hope you are feeling better!

[@deborahannstephenson741]

Yes!!! I want to see all of those options. especially how she did her makeup before she was a makeup 💄 artist. Great ideas.

[@christinemonte3477]

Definitely good thinking 👍

[@Hannah-iq6ki]

Great 💡!

[@danahoover1216]

That would be adorable. Especially since Risa is even prettier than barbie. Hehe...❤❤❤❤❤

[@DMV8662]

Barbie movie??🙄

[@stillsheryl776]

Bronzer as a crease shadow??? Whoa! What rock have I been hiding under?? What a great tip! Now I can’t wait to try this!

[@lisanutini5183]

That shade of blue in your top is particularly flattering with your skin tone and eyes.

[@maryannhaller3273]

This was such a help. I will definitely start wearing mascara more often. Today I turned 80 but I love looking good wearing my little bit of makeup. Thank you

[@julieforrester8853]

Risa, don't worry about your hair, I think you always look stunning!! Thank you for demonstrating your makeup application in this video, it looked perfect and I was wondering what you were wearing. I continue to struggle with my eye makeup application but you give me hope, lol😊!! ❤

[@TheAlfakitty]

The clarity of your content creation has really improved over the past 6 months. I think it has to do with your speaking more slowly than your regular fast pace, and it's really lovely and helpful! It's also great to see someone my age doing the makeup I want to wear!

[@julieligon8177]

Thank you, Risa. I really appreciate all you do for your viewers. As a 65 year old woman with hooded eyes, this video was so helpful!!!

[@antoniarebelo6703]

Hi Risa - I actually stopped apply any shadow on my eyelids a while back because I always thought what is the point, when you can't see it. But you do see it, I see it when you move your eyes or slightly close them, so you have inspired me to go back to doing the full eye make up routine. I always did feel like incomplete whenever I would go out (lol) Thank you Risa, this was helpful to me 😊💕

[@j-ru5527]

Risa, Would you believe that the entire video I kept thinking how absolutely adorable your hair looks! I couldn't believe it when I got to the part where you didn't like it.. It looks so fresh and beautiful and youthful. LOVR IT!❤

[@bernerandgoldenmom7143]

Your tutorials on hooded eyes were why I subscribed! You GET IT!! They are a challenge to work with and can be very frustrating. However, your methods really do work. Thank you!!! My tip for eyeliner: if shadow doesn't work as eyeliner because your eyes water like mine, dip your liner brush in your gel liner and then use that to apply liner. Stays all day and can be darkened later for an evening look if desired.

[@Mibular]

Risa, thank you for these tips! I still do not understand the use of multiple eyeshadows, so, your blending tip of the use of bronzer helps a great deal. ;) I would never judge your appearance, by the way! Have an amazing day!

[@danahoover1216]

Risa I sware u just get prettier and prettier every time I see you ...thank you so much for these hooded eye tutorials, you have no idea how greatly I appreciate them..hope u tackling the menopause better than me. Lol....I'm 50 and struggling. Love your channel and ty for being so honest! Love Dana from Pa❤

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Risa tightlining the upper waterline was a gamechanger for my hooded eyes. I still use eyeshadow, mascara, smudgy lower lashline pencil/shadow stick etc, but giving that depth of colour at the base of the lash in the waterline gives my blonde lashes a real boost. I get my brows threaded and I tint them for shape/definition, which means a lot less work everyday to make them look pretty good. I have rosacea affecting my eyes (causing dry eyes which means they water a lot), so I need a waterproof pencil and mascara (or a tubing mascara). Slim mascara wands are so much easier to use than fat or hourglass wands for my eyes. I don't wear bronzer, but i love a taupe in the crease or a very soft grey (I'm super pale/cool toned). False lashes are tricky for me, but for an event etc I will use a half lash, trios or a natural looking lash for extra oomph. Best wishes.

[@Desertmermaid52]

A great video! I’m 71 and really struggle with hooded eyes so this video was so helpful!❤❤❤❤

[@EstherLion91]

I have learned choosing a mascara is all about the right brush. My small hooded eyes can’t handle big fluffy brushes. I found the combo of the dior white eyelash primer with loreal butterfly mascara makes my lashes huge and opens my eyes. I stopped buying eyeshadow palettes. No more eyeshadow for me. Lashes and lipstick are most flattering.❤️

[@debralynnpawlak8393]

I want to thank you for your clear and precise way of teaching us the best techniques for applying makeup. It really is useful information. Thanks

[@midlifemom5829]

I have hooded eyes due to heavy fold i relate to the hidden eyeshadow dilemna. First, I look straight on and apply shadow along/above my fold . Then look down and blend into the lost real estate lid!

[@natalyamishin9733]

I love your videos so much. Always like a little class. Thank you.

[@barbmeirhaeghe1846]

You are always stunningly beautiful! Thank you for all your hard work that goes into making these videos to teach us. I know I greatly appreciate them.

[@Belen033]

Thanks for all the tips and information. I would love to see a tutorial of an everyday eye makeup in real time, without editing or cutting the blending or anything else.

[@RisaDoesMakeup]

Hi! I do have one from a couple years ago, but will film an updated version soon.

[@LenaSheppard]

At the start of the video I was just thinking how beautiful you are w/ your hair styled back. Thanks for the great tips. I appreciate you so very much !

[@nadiagaleassi3885]

Thank you so much Risa! I love all of your tutorials. Especially for hooded eyes. I have hooded eyes and I am 61, still want to look good. I watched so many videos on make up for mature eyes on other KZbin. Tried to apply on my face their techniques. But everytime I followed that direction, I didn't like how I look. And felt opposite. Felt like I need just softer, less and lighter eyeshadow. Now after watching your this video, I know what to do. Thank you so much! ❤

[@j-ru5527]

I LOVE YOUR HAIR! ❤ You should consider doing this style even more! You are so pretty!!!!

[@pdmullgirl]

Yes! Finally some one who says and thinks the same as I do!! I have extremely hooded eyes. I always have and now that I’m fifty nine, they are insanely hooded!! I have enough eyelid for another set of eyes!! But when you said it is hard to watch a video of someone giving tricks for hooded eyes when they themselves don’t have hooded eyes I was like YES!!! Finally, someone gets it!! I’ve watch hundreds of videos with people who, in my opinion do not have hooded eyes. They, at best have eyes that look puffy but nothing like what I’d call hooded eyes. Not even close. So, needless to say, their tips and tricks NEVER work! Mainly bc, well they don’t really have a hooded eye problem. Thank you so much for “getting it”!!! ❤️💜💚

[@cherylturgeon6237]

I’m 60 and have hooded eyes and love all your wonderful tips💓

[@Lisa_lu1979]

Once again you have done a great job helping those of us with hooded eyes. I love all your tutorials because you do such a wonderful job breaking it all down. Thank you so much!

[@conniehanson7989]

Risa, thank you for this video! I found it to be very helpful. I love your explanation, and demonstrations. I really appreciate how you shared the use of other products that you can use on your eyes. Great job as always! ❤

[@kathleenmoortel5449]

Beautiful makeup look and your clothing style is so beautiful as usual. I think you look nice with the ponytail.

[@dutchgirl7947]

Risa is the best Teacher!!!

[@robinlawson7441]

The bronzer on the eye is my favorite thing to do on my no-makeup makeup days. It's subtle enough for definition but beautiful.

[@nicolekhorasani7019]

Eyeshadow primer is wonderful even if you have dry skin, totally agree. I would add an eyelash curler too. Thank you Risa! Love your Chanel ❤

[@alikoenig4715]

Your hair looks perfect!

[@indicasprings7776]

I LOVE how thoroughly you explain everything! You truly have some great knowledge and you do a great job at teaching! Thanks so much for taking the time to educate. You are so awesome ❤. Love watching all your videos:)

[@sarahpenz3739]

Thank you for all of the great tips. Your makeup always looks very pretty and classy.

[@patriciakeegan4228]

Absolutely I’ve been using eyeshadow for my eyeliner…it’s the only thing that works for my 77 yo eyes! But do try the Morphe 165 brush for eyeliner. It’s a game changer and I use it like a rubber stamp!

[@SWIdaho2]

Thank you, Risa, for this helpful update! What a pretty blouse you're wearing!😊

[@dmarkey4360]

I definitely have eye brow hair growing all over so yes tweezers are essential. I have to use waterproof mascara because it will end up on my top eye under my brow otherwise. It is definitely more work when you get older. Thank you Risa❤️

[@j-ru5527]

Yes, yes and yes to ALL 3 of your first 3 questions! No matter how many hooded eye videos I watch, I always crave ( and NEED) MORE! Thank youuuu Risa!!!!❤

[@galcverseau]

Love your videos, thank you! I’m 49 with aging hooded eyes.

[@barbarakosloski9260]

Risa your hair looked fine. You were doing a video about hooded eyes so pulling it back was a good decision. Thank you SO much for writing in the title what you were concentrating on for the video. So many others do not so i skip their's altogether. Lastly a big THANK YOU for listing the products you used and adding the link to the item. That is SO helpful to your Followers. I hope the links you post provide a commission for you as well, at least they should.

[@cocasio7190]

Hi! I think that your hair looked good. It was appropriate for this video. I was looking to your eyes and not getting distracted by other things. Thanks for sharing!

[@2424hvl]

Anytime I see a new Risa video in eye makeup, I watch immediately!!

[@lorig6157]

Your blouse is beautiful! I always enjoy your videos.❤

[@bethreed281]

I find lining my eyes with powder is certainly easy but it doesn’t last anywhere near as long as a pencil or gel liner. Reapplying is too time consuming so I try to keep the liner as thin as possible and try to tight line instead. Thanks for great videos!

[@socaltoobie8984]

I use powder for a liner but get the brush wet first. Kind of a best of both worlds. It’s a little softer than pencil or liquid (even though you are doing a faux liquid in a sense) and will last.

[@roxannerutherford3524]

Risa, I always love your hooded eye content, especially the videos demonstrating how to apply eyeshadow, liner, and lashes. I have watched all your hooded eye videos and I never get tired of watching them. I still plan to buy your Martini lashes, but just seems I always have skincare items that I need to replace or repurchase since I typically will splurge on my skincare first. But I want to try those lashes and have since you introduced them. I'm going to get them even though I'm nervous since I have never worn falsies.

[@TheGina972]

Thank you for posting this video! Everything made so much sense. I cannot wait to try the bronzer and pencil brush techniques.

[@juliebarnes2695]

Love all your videos! Fellow hooded eye girl here!

[@glendamccurdy6677]

Your videos are always brilliant Risa! And you always look amazing and I was actually thinking your hair looked lovely in the high ponytail ❤

[@ceciliasciamanna3884]

You were definitely speaking to me! When you mentioned that eyebrows start to grow outside of their normal area’s, I had to laugh 😂😂. It’s just one of the “interesting “ nuances of getting older 😅😅

[@elenapolshakov3837]

What a wonderful and helpful video Risa, thank you so much! Will be trying my bronzer tomorrow on my crease! 😇

[@kidges3132]

I actually liked your hair! Thanks for the great tips 😊

[@rosiegurment8198]

I think you look beautiful,love the pony tail!!

[@kellyjenkins7478]

Risa you are stunning!!! Beautiful!!! No bad hair days for you!!!!❤

[@libertychic8926]

I needed a Risa video at this very moment! 💜🙌

[@sussannekeith5676]

Your hair looks super cute up…. it never looks atrocious😮❤

[@utboca9999]

You are such a wonderful gorgeous woman. The honesty, the communication ability..but of course, you are a Gemini. Thanks, Miss Risa.

[@RisaDoesMakeup]

Thank you! I’ve always considered myself a Taurus(May 19th) but I’ll still take the compliments! 😊 🥰

[@utboca9999]

Same day as my daughter. Yup. Taurus

[@CALB2009]

Risa, GREAT CONTENT! I ROFLMAO when you got to #3 Tweezers and discussing the new places that eyebrow hairs start to grow over the age of 50! I'm 56 now and for the last 6 years those stray brow hairs are popping up all the way down to the middle of the crease area of my hooded eyelids! Talk about a difficult area to tweeze! Our skin is already fragile there, but it also very mobile from laxity, so it's hard to grab a hold of those hairs without accidentally pinching the skin at the same time!! My stray brow hairs also grow all the way down on the outside of eye sockets, to the level of my lash line!!! Good grief! LMAO! XOXO ~~Christy~~

[@dutchgirl7947]

Lol i have stray brow hair on my chin i must keep plucked!!

[@maxinedutt4761]

Lmao!!!

[@SWIdaho2]

Growing older is not for the faint of heart! My quite manageable brows are now sparse, with a tuft that sticks straight out ~ ugh, not exactly feminine.🫣🙄

[@sandijames6409]

I have the same problem!

[@Baycydney]

Beautiful, Risa ! Only question…. I checked out eye primer you used. Unfortunately, it ships from UK and shipping costs as much as the product ($13 for each) and takes forever to arrive. Any US alternative that camouflages red/purple on aging eyes? Love you and your channel!

[@roden70]

You are so beautiful! I was told today that I was ugly. And it's not the first time. It cuts deep. I was just beginning to spend some more time on my apearance but now I think "why bother". Even with the best makeup I can't change myself.

[@nataliemammitzsch4369]

What would you say is the best eyeshadow for aging dry eyelids? Great video!

[@pattieschulte700]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@stellaolejar9007]

Risa, unfortunately hooded eyes run in my family and I have acquired them. This video has been extremely informative and helpful going forward. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@petrineberthelsen735]

I just found you! And I'm newish to makeup, and you're saving me for more mistakes 😅 all the tutorials can teach me a lot, but what you say was what, my instinct has been telling me and you just explain it very simple. I'm happy that I found you! ❤ P.S I was completely surprised when you said you're 50!

[@moniquem9609]

Thanks for taking time and explaining how you did your eye look.❤

[@valeriesantos8178]

Tho I too now use shadow vs other liners, it is so encouraging to see ur ‘less is more’ steps for shadow bc ur eyes look really good❣️ I checked early today & am happy to see that Rephr’s pencil brush is in stock again.

[@lisabecker7962]

Can’t wait to try this looks super easy ! Love your outfit 💙

[@debrawarner7278]

Your video is very helpful you give me a lot of inspiration.😊. As always you look super amazing and happy Mother’s Day for tomorrow

[@lisamarie5918]

I love how your blue eyes pop when you wear blue. I have blue eyes too, and when I wear something blue, they really pop, making my eyes look bigger, and less hooded. I would say the same for green eyes - use a neutral green eyeshadow shade (like a slightly mossy green color, not a straight up green) in the crease, to make green eyes pop and/or wear something in the green family, to make them pop even more. So you're looking more at the Color of the eyes, and less of the Hood of the eyes.

[@yeldnahp]

Very helpful! Thanks. Ponytails are the best hair saver!

[@phyllistallent4149]

I started using my bronzer in my crease- much more flattering

[@RirisAnastasia]

You look gorgeous Risa, I love the hair, the make up and the shirt.

Thanks so much for the Sephora lip stain recommendation. I just put them on this morning and they really do stay on the lips. Can’t beat the price. Thank you again

Thank you so much for making this video Risa! Was super helpful.

[@patriciagoodwin1922]

Soooooo helpful Risa, thank you!!! And your hair looks beautiful, no kidding, I wouldn't just say that. Salon day is so relaxing though, I hope you enjoyed!!! Hugs to you😊❤

[@mindy-made-a-mess]

Excellent, Thank You! You described the same challenges I am suddenly seeing at 55 while trying to stay current. Your eyeshadow looks much more difficult than what you described! I would change "pencil brushes" to "small brushes" ...I am using shader brushes, pencil brushes and liner brushes so much more these days.

[@ginabreukelman6951]

thank you for teaching us with hooded eyes, I already use some of your tips and tried tutorials and I think you explain really clearly. but for false lashes and a lot of mascara I can't do it because I wear glasses and it touches the glass. have a nice day and enjoy the appointment with your hairdresser.

[@dolorescastaneda8429]

[@sk13507]

I have major hooded eyes...lol. Thank you for all the tips...which is much needed.

[@liisabjork76]

I'm 46 and yes I have blonde brows but even blonder hairs on my lids. I thought I was just weird but I can't even count how many blonde hairs I have growing down into my lids. I'm Nordic so we naturally have VERY hooded eyes . Aging has made them thin with many little wrinkles that can make eyeshadow crease up and down ! I have to make my lids taught to get non patchy creased eyeshadow.

[@angelinegiselle]

thanks risa for all these hooded eyes videos ! it’s such a bummer - i spent 30yrs exploring various brands of eyeliners & powders to combat smudging & wear time on my combi-oily lids + hot & humid climate, only to be faced with increased droop & puffiness with age, so that the best eyeliners (finally) found have ironically become redundant. i have uneven hooded eyes so one is relatively ok while the other tends to obscure my lashes too. when you have puffy eyelids all your life, mascara smudging is something that’s normal !! i’ve always admired those who can do their mascara live on youtube so quickly without any smudges ! just eyes alone take me 20mins & that’s without eyeshadow. depending on my mood, i either skip eyeshadows or stick to a single shade 💗

[@Stefistat]

I love watching your videos. Your love of makeup beams through and your knowledge is like no other. Thank you. ❤❤❤ ps I love your lashes with BK Beauty. I just placed another huge order. Perfection.

[@Hannah-iq6ki]

Sometimes I feel like you are in my brain. The first second of the video I thought what a gorgeous top and I immediately went to the description box because you never miss a beat to list what you’re wearing. Thanks for saying it’s not new and yes it’s super pretty!

[@guylainevincent3704]

Wow, what a great video, thank you so much, was very helpful. You said everything, specially the mascara tip, I use the one with big fluffy brush and I have mascara everywhere. Will try the telescopic one for sure. Love your chanel and love the tips videos. Take care. 😊

[@donnamc81]

Risa keep your colour gel liners especially for spring summer special occasions like Xmas do a neutral colour eye look then put pink or blue or yellow ect... Gel liner in your lower waterline then use a similar eyeshadow colour to smudge it out its a great way to add colour to a look without it being a fully colourful eye look have fun with it ❤

[@TheLadyWrites]

Thanks for the practical information. This seems like something that makes more sense for me. Also, my thought about the hair wa that it looked nice in this video. So often we don't see things the way others do :) thank you agian!
