Hooded eyes are very common to wear. This is when you have quite a lot of skin on the eyelids, so that it becomes like a hood when you look straight ahead and then the eyelids are not so visible.

Hood = Luva.

I think it's really cute with hooded eyes, you get such a mischievous look in some way :)

However, it can be a little harder when you have to put on make-up!

Blake Lively is a clear example of this.

It's a little hard to show tips for hooded eyes when I do not have it myself, but I give it a try!

(These tips apply even if you have had sagging eyelids over the years)

1. Eyeliner

If you paint a wide eyeliner, you basically only see black when you look straight ahead, and nothing of the make-up. But if you try to stick more to the scalp scalp, you can get away with this.

2. Eyelinervinge

Eyeliner wings can be a bit difficult, because you often have a crease (from the globe line) in the outer edge that makes everything look crooked.

* Ignore the rule that you should imagine a line from the lower lash line and upwards.
* Paint your eyeliner wing in the line that fits your eyelids (so that it does not touch the crease) even if it ends up too far out.
* Continue with the eyeliner down under the eye, and in this way cheat out the straight line that you usually follow from the lower lash line and outwards.

(Picture of this will be further down in the post)

3. Eye shadow

In order for the eye shadow to be visible as much as possible even when you look straight ahead, you can place the eye shadow higher than the crease line.

Ett tips är att titta rakt fram i spegeln, då ser du precis var på ögonlocket “börjar synas” i överkanten!

4. Eyebrows

Alla vill inte ha ögonskuggan jättehögt upp, man känner sig lätt översminkad om det är för litet mellanrum mellan ögonskuggan och ögonbrynen. Därför är det smart att försöka plocka ögonbrynen så höga som möjligt, då blir mellanrummet större och du har mer “plats” att sminka dig på.

You can also raise the eyebrow a little easily by filling in extra in the upper edges, it gives the illusion that the entire eyebrow is higher up.

5. Highlighter

Personer med hooded eyes tycker ofta att ögonen känns mer “stängda” än andras. För att få en mer öppen blick rekommenderar jag ljus ögonskugga i ögonvrån och under brynen, samt en vit kajalpenna längs vattenlinjen.

Applying a light eye shadow under the eyebrows also gives the impression that the eyebrows are higher up!

Hoppas ni förstod allt, och att inlägget om att sminka “hooded eyes” var till hjälp!
