Makeup Ideas For Hooded Eyes

Use Lots Of Kohl

When you have mystic hooded eyes, your makeup should enhance your enigmatic look. That is why use lots of dark black kohl to make your eyes stark and highlight your hooded features. Black is the best colour for your eyes because it adds to the dark Gothic-makeup look that you are aiming to achieve.

Use Dark Eye Shadow

Always use dark eye shadow colours on your eyelids so that you can highlight your hooded eyes. There is no scope for subtle and pastel shades when it comes to hooded eye makeup. You have to use dark and rich shades to cover your eyelids.

Contour Your Eyelids

Close your eyes and use your eye shadow to contour your eyes. By contouring we mean, darken the top half and lower lash line of your eyes leaving the middle portion blank. This helps you enhance the hooded look of your eyes. You can fill the centre with a sparkling white or a plain shimmer eye shadow.

Winged Eye Liner

When you have naturally hooded eyes, winged makeup will really work for you. Use your eyeliner to give your eyes wings. Twist the length of the eyeliner just a little beyond the lash line. This gives your eyes the winged look.

Bare Lower Lash Line

The highlights of hooded eyes are the eyebrow and the upper eyelid. To increase the effect of the upper lash line, you can sometimes leave the lower lash line bare. This gives hooded eye makeup a more stark effect.

These are some simple and effective eye makeup ideas to get mysterious hooded eyes. Have you ever tried this make style?
