anyone with hooded eyes knows that if you can smidge your eyeliner with a brush, by the end of the day you'll have a second black line above your crease. The only eyeliner that works on hooded eyes is liquid liner because it's the only one that does smudge proof
I do have that problem too, and I have tried both liquid and pencil eyeliner and both smudged on my lid, so I'm trying out a gel eyeliner and it seems to be working fine
Yeah but +makeupdiva3 probably does know more... She is a makeup artist who has most likely done looks on people with hooded eyes. I'm not saying it doesn't happen bc it probably does happen for some people. I just think a makeup artist would know more about makeup considering it is their job.
may rivera Just because her's aren't as hooded as yours might be doesn't mean they aren't, i mean that's pretty self centered man. She has a fatty part that covers part of her lid, that's a hood. The makeup she did is also really amazing at diminishing it, she really knows how to work with it.
Ottergether im not saying her makeup is bad im just saying she doesnt have hooded eyes at all you can clearly see how big her eyelid is when shes looking ahead
I normally love your videos but I have to agree with a few others. You have a very large lid and defined crease, not hooded at all. Jennifer Lawrence has hooded eyes for example. I'm Asian with hooded eyes; I could never blend that many colors in my crease because it's such a small tight area, not to mention the lighter color on the lid would never show on me. I would love to have seen a tutorial on an actual hooded eye person.
I have a heavy fold so I thought I'd show this technique on myself, but if you'd like, I can do something similar on one of my Asian friends. Just request it and I'll try and make it happen after the holidays.
I have one eye hooded and the other one is not. It is sooo hard to do my eye makeup sometimes, so that´s why most of the times I won´t bother and just use mascara!
I hate to disagree but I have really hooded eyes and if I were to take the steps with the left side then my eye shadow would literally all blend together in about 30 minutes because the shadows starts to touch each other. The look you created is pretty though. It just wouldn't work on me because you also would not be able to see the look if you are looking at someone straight on.
Yes!! Me too. I'm very hooded and you literally can't even tell I put eyeshadow on if I did it like that :( haha, it's a struggle!!! And forget eyeliner 😳😳 it just does Not work!! For me anyway lol
i agree....also....we r not trying to elongate....we r trying to widen (north/south)...so with fake lashes.....very thin bands...with spaces in between lashes...so there is no need for liner....and lashes longer IN THE MIDDLE.
+Cindy Ibarra If you have a hooded eye, then apply your eyeshadow while looking straight into a mirror with your eyebrows relaxed and not raised at all. This will give you a guideline to see how high you actually need to put your makeup, so that you can see it when your eyes are opened. It sounds like you are putting your eyeshadow too low for your eye shape. Sadly this video is really quite terrible since this woman does not have hooded eyes in any way. You may want to check out Alissa Ashley 's videos on hooded eyes. Take care!
+vote4freedom actually, based on what Cindy says, videos of Ashley won't be any more helpful than this one, Alissa has very small hood on her eyes, so what she says does not apply to those who have really hooded eyes (like I do) - it is impossible to use cut crease or eyeliner at all with such eyes. plus, what you say is wrong as well, if you apply makeup that way and you even slightly raise eyebrows you look like a panda ... i have yet to find someone who actually knows what they are talking about when it comes to hooded eyes - you know, when hood is covering all of your lid even with eyes closed and when you open eyes, it folds in uneven layers ...
Obviously the 'dont' side is going to look terrible, you just slopped everything on there yet on the 'do' side you were so precise and careful to make it look super good.
Instead of saying "don't use shimmers in your crease." And then slap the shimmer on, you should have said "don't use shimmers in your crease, also, make sure you aren't blending your colours this particular way." If that even makes sense.
Even though I like the "do" makeup, it doesn't make sense to me. Makeup gurus who make a tutorial for hooded eyes, make the "don't" eye ugly on purpose and don't do it with any serious effort (which makes the "don't" eye even uglier than it actually can be). Someone understands what I'm trying to say here? Because I don't know how to explain it obviously....
+ilovemayling check out my videos...I've hooded arabian eyes..and I do whatever I feel like for look...just invest in some good eyeshadows that stay put like the once I use. best of luck..x
FINALLY something for us with hooded eyes. Thanks!! Girls with millions of followers and they NEVER address this issue but they say they are makeup artists. All they do is THEIR makeup, they never address hooded eyes, mature, close set etc so thanks
Have a look at nikkitutorials if you have hooded eyes, she herself has hooded eyes so I would say she does her looks from experience and not from the text book so to speak.
One of the best tutorials for hooded eyes by far. And I've watched a gazillion of them. What's most helpful is the dont's because you really can see how a simple wrong application can close up your eye. Plus the colors she uses are perfect if you have hooded eyes = neutral matte is best! Thank you!
+Olivia Dawn i think she does but she has alot of space between her mobile lid and eyebrow so she can put colour there whereas i for instance dont and hers arnt extremely hooded just slightly
you know when you click on a video tutorial on how to do eye make up for hooded eyes and ur just completely baffed throughout the whole video because the woman...doesn't...have...hooded...eyes lol...
She has partially hooded eyes. I know this cause i am the same. If you have a visible crease or line when you have your eyes open but you have little eyelid space you have partially hooded eyes.
she does. I do. People don't have to be 100% Asian to have hooded eyes, if that's what you are implying. It's also intended "term" for people who have very little "eye canvas" to apply makeup to.
+Ana Rodriguez She has a lot of eye canvas to me. She should title this differently maybe "For partially hooded eyes" bc the average hooded eyed person is confused by this
I agree with everyone else, the eyeliner made me lose faith in this video. Also if I put the colour right in my crease they would disappear. I have to make my crease higher to make anything noticeable. Also, shimmer on the lid can open up the eye, especially when it's in the centre.
Jenna Watson if you want shimmer try first putting a matte eyeshadow in the crease And than putting a little bit of the shimmery eyeshadow I have vera hodded eyes and i put shimmer wherever i want. But you have to first put a matte eyeshadow as a base in the crease (i usualy put 2 one on the whole crease (a lighter color) and the other a little bit above the crease (the one i really want as my crease colour) but be cerfull not to put it too high) and then for both the lid and the crease or only on the crease i put a shimmery or sparkly
This video had me hit subscribe :) Lighting, even if it's enhancing, is far better than most, not yellow and clear enough to see the folds in eyelid. For all who complain she does not have hooded lids, she has enough that you could dramatically see how the right/wrong technique makes a huge difference. She could have stopped at the first lining step & stopped w/already beautiful results. Each continued step provided multiple options for how intensive you want your look, each equally beautiful ! The side by side, right & wrong demonstration is fantastic ! She has a great voice, is super clear in sound & directions & thank you lord, she gets to the point ! Keep it up, I'm loving your presentations.
You are beautiful and the "do" side is very flattering on you. I just have to point out that the "don't" side is just bad makeup in general. It doesn't really matter what kind of eye you have. Some of these tips are very helpful, I just don't think it's specifically for hooded eyes, in my opinion.
+Gabby Tabbert it's still the same principle. you don't have to have a complete monolid for your eyelid to be considered hooded. so whether her eyes are drastically hooded, or not, it is still the same technique.
+Mayra Ortiz Actually, monolids aren't hooded whatsoever...that's why they're called MONOlids. And I didn't mean any offense, it's just that someone with more hooded eyes like mine would have more trouble with makeup and the methods she used still wouldn't work well on my eyes.
I'm so tired of seeing makeup tutorials for hooded eyes made by people who don't have hooded eyes. That's like making a video about maintaining curly hair when you don't have curly hair...
Saruca she has hooded eyes. Just because they aren't as heavy of yours doesn't mean hers aren't. Go find someone with eyes just as droopy as yours rather than putting dense comments. It makes you look brainless and ignorant af. You're dismissed.
amazing. I have a heavy lid and big eyes too and your not side is exactly how my makeup always turns out! I've been watching every tutorial I can to fix it not realizing I needed a slightly different technique for the hooded portion of my eyes. seriously 90% of my shadows are shimmer! thanks so much for the video. I have some practicing to do!
For all those saying she doesn't have hooded eyes, in a way this doesn't. But see how her crease goes out really far, past the corner of her eyes (when her eyes are relaxed). While not a real hood, she does have hooding there. The folding there makes it hard to do wings or heavy eyeshadow looks
I've never seen anyone do their makeup like she did on the "bad" side. I mean, she didn't even blend or anything and did a sloppy liner. It's not a true comparison.
So much like my makeup routine! Glad to know somebody thinks the same! I had to do lots of trial & errors and learn it myself ! People found my style weird! But, that's what worked for me! One has to understand, not everything works for everybody!
One of the best tutorials on hooded eyes I've seen..and believe me, for the last yr of covid I've seen a lot!! Thx for all your tips. Beautiful end result.
1. you don't even have hooded eyes at all 2. liquid liner is the one and only liner that works for most of the people with hooded eyes bc it dont smudge. sry if this sounded mean but.. i have very hooded eyes so i know what im talking about. anyone agree?
Wow! I've always struggled because of the fact that I had failed to find a beauty vlogger that had my same eye shape. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Already a fan!
Sona thank you! I cannot describe how much you have helped me with this video. For the longest time I didn't even know what eye type I had, once I figured it out I realiized there wasn't much help! I've watched countless videos and this is by FAR the best. You've gone through everything, everything I could have possibly been doing wrong. Shimmer - for one! I greatly apprecaite this. I'm a timid person but after practicing my make-up over and over all week (as per your video) I finally have a look I'm proud to show off. It's perfecting timing too, right before new years. I can't thank you enough Sona, you've given me the confidence and technique that I finally needed to embrace my eyes!
Great video and great tips. Thanks a lot dear. Your tutorials r amazing. I learned a lot from them and u r still giving me much more. I am truly thankful and appreciating your efforts and generosity. God bless u dear.
Nice job of blending the shadows. I am going to have to practice, I have never worn much makeup and if I apply shadow I usually have to remove it from my cheek area and under the eye. I guess layering the color is the trick. Thank you for the tips.
I don't know.. maybe it's just me but I keep seeing everyone say DON'T put black line on your lower waterline makes your eye closed, smaller.. etc.. but I just LOVE how it looks.. love that oriental look and I don't see what's bad about it? great points on everything tho :)
omg.. yes... oriental! why are you so butthurt about this term.. just google "oriental make up" and you'll see what I meant and that it exists as a term.
"I love to look oriental," is probably the dumbest shit I've ever read. You do you, boo, but really.. "Oriental"s have different eye shapes. Koreans and Japanese don't have the same eye shape. So, what you're saying is you like looking ambiguously Asian instead of white. Strange haha. Just sounded stupid, not butthurt lol
you guys do know that there are different levels of "droopiness" when it comes to hooded eyes right? Not all people with hooded eyes have the skin completely covering their lid. Some of you are going batshit crazy over how her eyes are "barely" hooded, but my lovey's they are hooded if you know her hooded eyes don't match yours save yourself the agitation and find another UA-cam channel...believe it or not it's that easy.
Thank you! If anyone thinks her eyes aren't hooded, they're blind. There's hooded, and then there's monolid (the more extreme version of hooded). It causes the same issue for makeup application. People need to learn how to search for the right video and stop complaining because they don't know what eye type they have, lol.
yes but her eyes are much more visible than someone like me who's eyelids are way more hooded than her's. so her tips are not really relevant because her 'hoodedness' is extremely mild
I love the mauvy/purple color that you use, but am not a fan of browns. What could I use instead? Gray maybe? My wardrobe color doesn't really change. Being goth, it's pretty much black all the time for me! I really learned a lot from this tutorial!
I can not thank you enough for this! Having hooded eyes is so tough to work with, but this is definitely gonna help! I recently started working at a salon as a makeup consultant and receptionist and I'm totally about to binge watch your videos! ❤
Thank you very much loved the do's side soo pretty! Pls tell which brushes you use . The list and wehere can they be bought. I think its all abt having quality brushers and powders.
Hi sona, i have a similar eye shape, this was really helpfull because i didn't know about the dark color in the inside part of the eye Thanks i love your vídeos !!!! Saludos desde Colombia
Thank U so much for this video! I am an older lady where the eyes have changed and now the lid droops n doing my make up isn't easy, but what you showed was wonderful!
I've gone my entire life not knowing I had hooded eyes until this video what the heck!!! (i have very similar eyes to yours btw. didn't realize this was considered hooded)
+alex m she does not have hooded eyes! you can see her crease and above her lash line.. google jennifer lawrence, blake lively, camilla belle.. they all have hooded eyes.. there are different types of hooded eyes.. jennifer lawrence has puffy looking hooded eyes.. where as some peoples eyes droop down only in the middle! youre lucky if you have eyes similar to Sonas!
I think you did a great job. manipulating your crease with the eyeshadow really us an huge improvement and you're totally right on the shimmer eyeshadow on the crease and the heavy eyeliner, it really bogs down the eye.
But you don't have hooded eyes. When you eyes are open, I can SEE you crease shadow. Mine disappears completely. In fact, my upper lid disappears COMPLETELY. You wouldn't even know I had a crease if I didn't blink. Still found this helpful, so thanks.
everyone watching this, just remember that hooded eyes are not something that necessarily need "fixing". there is nothing wrong with your eyeshape. you don't need to fix or change it to look pretty.
Completely agree with you I once got a makeover and the girl kept saying this will make your eyes appear rounder . Lol at the end I said hmmmm I get the most compliments on my eyes why would I want them round .
I love my eyes but I want to know how to do eye make up on them. Right now it's like a game of hide and seek. I put eyeshadow on but once I open my eye it's gone lmaoo
She may not have hooded eyes, but I'm still thankful that she's made a video for people with hooded eyes anyway. It's very helpful and I've learned a lot from this.
What everyone is failing to realize is that there are different "degrees" of hooded. At 23 I am just realizing that I have hooded eyes because I thought hooded eyes meant deep invisible hidden lids. But nope, it's any fold that covers the lid slightly or completely. It takes just working at it for you and your hood "degree". The no shimmer tip is golden because my eyes look horrible if shimmer even gets close to my hood.
This is a nice look (the good side, that is). But one technique I’ve learned (I have hooded eyes) is that the color normally used to put in the crease must be applied above the crease line. If you put it in the crease, it disappears the moment you open your eyes. I’m definitely going to try out that look, though. Thanks for the video!
I think I'm confused about a "hooded eye" means?! From what I thought I understood, your eyes didn't appear to be hooded. Mine are a lot like yours. I thought that hooded meant that you couldn't see the lid when they eyes are open? If I'm misunderstanding, will you please tell me the difference? Maybe I've been applying my shadows all wrong for my eye type?! 😳😂
hooded eyes is when you have an extra fold of skin that closes your eyes a bit more. i have hooded eyes but that doesnt necessarily mean you cant see my whole lid, some peoples eyes are my hooded and some peoples arent, still a challenge either way
+Nicole Gomez ok, I was wrong. I did misunderstand the meaning then. Mine are very similar to hers in this video. I never usually watched videos geared toward hooded eyes because I always thought it didn't apply to me, oops! 😂. Thank you for clearing that up. I'm anxious to try these tips and see if my eyes look better then before. I've always wondered why my eyeshadow looks never quite look the same as they were meant to. Guess now I know! I'm over 40 and have been doing things wrong since I was in high school. Haha
I am sorry but i just can't agree with you. You can't blend one side and the other you just put the color there and say see it looks terrible. ofcourse it looks terrible when you are not even trying. I always that thought i can't go with shimmer because of such tutorials. But you can 1. Blend a nude and then put shimmer. it looks great.
Great tips! I like that you still included some shimmer on the correct eye. Most people with hooded eyes tend to stay away completely. It was done very tastefully.
Whaaaaaaat my eyes are similar to yours too! Which kinda makes me think my eyes are slightly hooded and maybe yours are slightly slightly hooded since you don't have small eyes but a lot of lid space. If your eyes are far apart it's ok to add a little bit of black and if your eyes are close together use lighter colors to create space.
I loved this video and found it to be really helpful. I couldn't agree more about the shimmer shadows, they are beautiful but a bit much for my lids unfortunately.
9:10 "I've got a nice lid space".. ha! you obviously forgot who you were making this video for.... we (people who actually have hooded eyes) don't have lids that show, hello?! That's why they're called hooded. Long lashes won't "hide what we worked so hard for".. our hooded eyes will! They also would just completely eat up those short lashes. So, thanks for trying but you have no idea what you're talking about.
Love this video. It helped a lot. I have watched several hooded eye videos and this is def one of the best. By showing what to do and what not to do. Great idea. I just can't wait for my looks to turn out that good. I just want to get the lashes down. I am literally missing a section of lashes on one eye due to shingles because if have bad immune system from fighting Cancer for 13 yrs on and off. I got them really bad on my face and scalp and left me scared. Bangs hide most of it. But have a lot lashes missing on that eye. I have got to practice on the lashes. So u can't tell I'm missing a whole bunch. Mostly only on the outer edge left to put mascara on. Thanks so much for the help.
What was the point of the "don't" side? Looks like makeup I did when I was 12. -___- Could have actually tried to makeup it actually wearable and not a hot mess.
oh my god how beautiful what a difference finally found hooded eye tutorial do's and don'ts that I can actually follow that actually makes sense and that is truly beautiful thank you so much
Night and day! Thank you soooo much. I have crepey hooded lids (same as my mother), I try to stay to matte shadows, but I guess I was still making mistakes with liquid eyeliner and my brows. One question though. If one eyes hood droops more than the other, do you have any tips to make it less noticeable?
my eyes are really hooded. when they're open, you couldn't really see any shadow.....and I keep on spending a lot of time blending and all that stuff 💔
I feel you 100% since I have the same exact problem. I do recommend watching the straight technique on Wayne Goss's UA-cam channel. Since hooded eyes cover the lid, he basically put the colors vertically instead of horizontally like in this video, if that actually made any sense what so ever.
This was gonna be my comment lol and I decided to read the comments first and said Yes Someone else thought that too and I feel as though she was being a tad sloppy with the "bad" eye...I thought it looked pretty...
Your eye lids are so similar to mine! It's difficult to find a tutorial with a partial folded lid. I've found hooded eyes, and their polar opposite, but very little in the middle..so THANK YOU!! Very appreciated! Have you ever done falsies where the longer length is in the middle of the eye, rather than longer toward the end?
I just found out that I was doing everything that was on the "no-no" eye! It definitely looks better on the "good" eye - but I have to practice it - I always painted my eyes the other way! Thank you for helpful video!
When you went black & white for a second, difference between makeups was far out! Awesome demo, I have hooded eyes and most of all eye tutorials sort of work for me, but not quite? This nailed it! Thank YOU!
I have hooded eyes and I wear shimmery eyeshadows a lot, and they always look good. My eyes aren't the same shape so I always have to do my eyeliner thicker on my left eye. I do agree with the eyebrow situation though. I stopped dragging it down and it's made such a big difference.
Thanks so much for this video, it's awesome to finally find someone with sort of the same eyelids as me!! Mine kind of wrinkle twice in the hood rather than just one smooth hood so this is great
In what world are your eyes "hooded"? It's easy to do "makeup for hooded eyes" if you don't actually have to deal with the hooded part. You've got eyelid space to spare, want to donate me some?
Thank you for the excellent video! What a huge difference. I love that you show the do and the don't at the same time. I learned 2 things I was doing wrong that was dragging my eye down.
anyone with hooded eyes knows that if you can smidge your eyeliner with a brush, by the end of the day you'll have a second black line above your crease. The only eyeliner that works on hooded eyes is liquid liner because it's the only one that does smudge proof
Exactly. There's no way that eyeliner wouldn't end up in my crease in under ten minutes :)
I've been the same owner of hooded eyes for 20 years and in my personal experience the heat of my skin smudges it all over my lid
I do have that problem too, and I have tried both liquid and pencil eyeliner and both smudged on my lid, so I'm trying out a gel eyeliner and it seems to be working fine
+Lauren Osborne lol @people who think they know more than u that dont even have hooded eyes
Yeah but +makeupdiva3 probably does know more... She is a makeup artist who has most likely done looks on people with hooded eyes. I'm not saying it doesn't happen bc it probably does happen for some people. I just think a makeup artist would know more about makeup considering it is their job.
no offense but your eyes are barely hooded
THANK YOU !!
+may rivera fwi there is a difference between "hooded" lids and "mono" lids
Ottergether yea and she has neither of them
may rivera Just because her's aren't as hooded as yours might be doesn't mean they aren't, i mean that's pretty self centered man. She has a fatty part that covers part of her lid, that's a hood. The makeup she did is also really amazing at diminishing it, she really knows how to work with it.

+Sona Gasparian love this positivity in you 😇
+Sona Gasparian that would be actually very helpful

I have one eye hooded and the other one is not. It is sooo hard to do my eye makeup sometimes, so that´s why most of the times I won´t bother and just use mascara!

Haha, yes, I understand what you're saying! You wouldn't wear the "don't" side regardless, hooded eyes or not lol
Agree 100%
Yes lol she pretty much just put a whole bunch of mismatching shimmer Colors that no one would do no matter the eye shape!
+ilovemayling I agree..the "don't" eye was sloppy on purpose. Plus, she doesn't even have hooded eyes.
+ilovemayling check out my videos...I've hooded arabian eyes..and I do whatever I feel like for look...just invest in some good eyeshadows that stay put like the once I use. best of luck..x
As someone who has always hated their hooded eyes this is such an amazing help, thank you so much! :)
FINALLY something for us with hooded eyes. Thanks!! Girls with millions of followers and they NEVER address this issue but they say they are makeup artists. All they do is THEIR makeup, they never address hooded eyes, mature, close set etc so thanks
Have a look at nikkitutorials if you have hooded eyes, she herself has hooded eyes so I would say she does her looks from experience and not from the text book so to speak.
stepanie lange has done alot of videos for hooded eyes. you should check her
Glad you found this helpful love. ❤️❤️
One of the best tutorials for hooded eyes by far. And I've watched a gazillion of them. What's most helpful is the dont's because you really can see how a simple wrong application can close up your eye. Plus the colors she uses are perfect if you have hooded eyes = neutral matte is best! Thank you!
These may work for your eyes, but extreme hoods like mine (only a tiny sliver of the mobile lid is visible) don't really apply. :(
she doesn't even have hooded eyes. look at that perfect crease and all that lid space lol
+Olivia Dawn i think she does but she has alot of space between her mobile lid and eyebrow so she can put colour there whereas i for instance dont and hers arnt extremely hooded just slightly
Olivia Dawn I've got to agree with masuma. She does have a teeny-tiny hood to her lid... but I'd hardly call her eyes predominantly hooded.
the girl in the video doesnt even have hooded eyes. these probably wont work for hooded eyes
are there any UA-camrs with real hooded eyes? I can't find any
you know when you click on a video tutorial on how to do eye make up for hooded eyes and ur just completely baffed throughout the whole video because the woman...doesn't...have...hooded...eyes lol...
She does, it's not at intense as other people's hooded eyes. I have the same eyes as her and this helps
She has partially hooded eyes. I know this cause i am the same. If you have a visible crease or line when you have your eyes open but you have little eyelid space you have partially hooded eyes.
she does. I do. People don't have to be 100% Asian to have hooded eyes, if that's what you are implying. It's also intended "term" for people who have very little "eye canvas" to apply makeup to.
+Ana Rodriguez She has a lot of eye canvas to me. She should title this differently maybe "For partially hooded eyes" bc the average hooded eyed person is confused by this
adriana12995 She has SO much eyelid space with her eyes open if she had anymore she would look perpetually shocked
I agree with everyone else, the eyeliner made me lose faith in this video. Also if I put the colour right in my crease they would disappear. I have to make my crease higher to make anything noticeable. Also, shimmer on the lid can open up the eye, especially when it's in the centre.
its different then monolid! I have a hooded eye and if i used shimmer just in the middle it accents the hood and transfers all over the lid
Agree ;)
Jenna Watson if you want shimmer try first putting a matte eyeshadow in the crease
And than putting a little bit of the shimmery eyeshadow
I have vera hodded eyes and i put shimmer wherever i want. But you have to first put a matte eyeshadow as a base in the crease (i usualy put 2 one on the whole crease (a lighter color) and the other a little bit above the crease (the one i really want as my crease colour) but be cerfull not to put it too high) and then for both the lid and the crease or only on the crease i put a shimmery or sparkly
This video had me hit subscribe :) Lighting, even if it's enhancing, is far better than most, not yellow and clear enough to see the folds in eyelid. For all who complain she does not have hooded lids, she has enough that you could dramatically see how the right/wrong technique makes a huge difference. She could have stopped at the first lining step & stopped w/already beautiful results. Each continued step provided multiple options for how intensive you want your look, each equally beautiful ! The side by side, right & wrong demonstration is fantastic ! She has a great voice, is super clear in sound & directions & thank you lord, she gets to the point ! Keep it up, I'm loving your presentations.
You are beautiful and the "do" side is very flattering on you. I just have to point out that the "don't" side is just bad makeup in general. It doesn't really matter what kind of eye you have. Some of these tips are very helpful, I just don't think it's specifically for hooded eyes, in my opinion.
This is BARELY hooded
Exactly what I was thinking
+Gabby Tabbert it's still the same principle. you don't have to have a complete monolid for your eyelid to be considered hooded. so whether her eyes are drastically hooded, or not, it is still the same technique.
+Mayra Ortiz Actually, monolids aren't hooded whatsoever...that's why they're called MONOlids. And I didn't mean any offense, it's just that someone with more hooded eyes like mine would have more trouble with makeup and the methods she used still wouldn't work well on my eyes.
She's still helping people who DO have hooded eyes. Like me lol.
That's great for you but I also have hooded eyes and this is awful advice for me.
I'm so tired of seeing makeup tutorials for hooded eyes made by people who don't have hooded eyes. That's like making a video about maintaining curly hair when you don't have curly hair...
Saruca she has hooded eyes. Just because they aren't as heavy of yours doesn't mean hers aren't. Go find someone with eyes just as droopy as yours rather than putting dense comments. It makes you look brainless and ignorant af. You're dismissed.
amazing. I have a heavy lid and big eyes too and your not side is exactly how my makeup always turns out! I've been watching every tutorial I can to fix it not realizing I needed a slightly different technique for the hooded portion of my eyes. seriously 90% of my shadows are shimmer! thanks so much for the video. I have some practicing to do!
For all those saying she doesn't have hooded eyes, in a way this doesn't. But see how her crease goes out really far, past the corner of her eyes (when her eyes are relaxed). While not a real hood, she does have hooding there. The folding there makes it hard to do wings or heavy eyeshadow looks
I've never seen anyone do their makeup like she did on the "bad" side. I mean, she didn't even blend or anything and did a sloppy liner. It's not a true comparison.
You should come watch me do make-up then lol. She did a great job of showing better ways to use shimmer eye shadows.
Lol it looks better than when I try to do my eyes but I'm a beginner sooo
i would like to see this tutorial on someone actually has hooded eyes. cause this video kinda only shows "too much/bad makeup".
+Pey Hochen Agreed. The right side is totally pointless because all she did was apply makeup badly. Not just bad for hooded lids, bad for anyone.
+Pey Hochen I have hooded eyes and have done similar looks :)
So much like my makeup routine! Glad to know somebody thinks the same! I had to do lots of trial & errors and learn it myself ! People found my style weird! But, that's what worked for me! One has to understand, not everything works for everybody!
that awkward moment when she's not even hooded
Pahahaaaa
I agree :/ helpful except when referring to the crease. my whole issue with hooded eyes is that your crease is completely covered.
i know i thought that too my hooded eyes are way worse i felt offended cus id kill for eyes like hers :(
Im not offended just annoyed, her eyelids are not hooded. 🙄🙄🙄
Aika Reyes she's somewhere between hooded n round
One of the best tutorials on hooded eyes I've seen..and believe me, for the last yr of covid I've seen a lot!! Thx for all your tips. Beautiful end result.
1. you don't even have hooded eyes at all
2. liquid liner is the one and only liner that works for most of the people with hooded eyes bc it dont smudge.
sry if this sounded mean but..
i have very hooded eyes so i know what im talking about.
anyone agree?
I agree I have hooded eyes as well I would look like I'm all banged up if I did it her way.
exactly :)
I have hooded eyes and when I do a wing it doesn't show at all
Whether she has hooded eyes or not I appreciate the fact that she's giving "do's and don'ts". Thanks so much for the video.
maybe if u used the same colors for both eyes it would be helpful... this is more of "what colors to properly mix and match"
Carolina Erives that's exactly what I'm thinking
Wow! I've always struggled because of the fact that I had failed to find a beauty vlogger that had my same eye shape. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Already a fan!
I think this video just saved my eye make up THANK YOU!
+poppyfield yay! Glad you found it helpful.
poppyfield
Tommy T
stallix!
Sona thank you! I cannot describe how much you have helped me with this video. For the longest time I didn't even know what eye type I had, once I figured it out I realiized there wasn't much help! I've watched countless videos and this is by FAR the best. You've gone through everything, everything I could have possibly been doing wrong. Shimmer - for one! I greatly apprecaite this. I'm a timid person but after practicing my make-up over and over all week (as per your video) I finally have a look I'm proud to show off. It's perfecting timing too, right before new years. I can't thank you enough Sona, you've given me the confidence and technique that I finally needed to embrace my eyes!
+sarahemilygray I would also greatly appreciate a glasses how-to video!
Great video and great tips. Thanks a lot dear. Your tutorials r amazing. I learned a lot from them and u r still giving me much more. I am truly thankful and appreciating your efforts and generosity. God bless u dear.
Your comment means the world to me. Thank you so much. 😘😘
+Sona Gasparian The good soul u have truly glowing inside out 😘😘
Nice job of blending the shadows. I am going to have to practice, I have never worn much makeup and if I apply shadow I usually have to remove it from my cheek area and under the eye. I guess layering the color is the trick. Thank you for the tips.
I have droopy eyes and also my eyebrows are low. I can't find video with eyes like this (
SAME 😩😩
You are an amazing tutor!!!!
i'm very impressed... speaking as someone who bought her first foundation a week ago and i'm NOT in my 20s.
I don't know.. maybe it's just me but I keep seeing everyone say DON'T put black line on your lower waterline makes your eye closed, smaller.. etc.. but I just LOVE how it looks.. love that oriental look and I don't see what's bad about it? great points on everything tho :)
I agree!
MMaya oriental look?
oriental????
omg.. yes... oriental! why are you so butthurt about this term.. just google "oriental make up" and you'll see what I meant and that it exists as a term.
"I love to look oriental," is probably the dumbest shit I've ever read. You do you, boo, but really.. "Oriental"s have different eye shapes. Koreans and Japanese don't have the same eye shape. So, what you're saying is you like looking ambiguously Asian instead of white. Strange haha. Just sounded stupid, not butthurt lol
The bronzey liner on the inner corner really enhanced your eye colour - great tip!
you guys do know that there are different levels of "droopiness" when it comes to hooded eyes right? Not all people with hooded eyes have the skin completely covering their lid. Some of you are going batshit crazy over how her eyes are "barely" hooded, but my lovey's they are hooded if you know her hooded eyes don't match yours save yourself the agitation and find another UA-cam channel...believe it or not it's that easy.
couldn't have said it better myself
Exactly! Everyone's tryna act like their heavily hooded eyes are the only type and if it doesn't work for them then it won't work for anyone.
Thank you! If anyone thinks her eyes aren't hooded, they're blind. There's hooded, and then there's monolid (the more extreme version of hooded). It causes the same issue for makeup application. People need to learn how to search for the right video and stop complaining because they don't know what eye type they have, lol.
yes but her eyes are much more visible than someone like me who's eyelids are way more hooded than her's. so her tips are not really relevant because her 'hoodedness' is extremely mild
*eyelids i meant
I love the mauvy/purple color that you use, but am not a fan of browns. What could I use instead? Gray maybe? My wardrobe color doesn't really change. Being goth, it's pretty much black all the time for me! I really learned a lot from this tutorial!
great and helpful video but I'm confused. do you even have hooded eyes? if so, I never realized eyes like yours are considered hooded
I have a heavy fold but you would use the same technique for both hooded eyes or heavy fold.
+Sona Gasparian I have a heavy fold, too.
taylor mahon
that is so crazy the make up makes such a big difference it's giving her a lazy eye.... By far one of the best hooded eye tutorials I've seen..
I can not thank you enough for this! Having hooded eyes is so tough to work with, but this is definitely gonna help! I recently started working at a salon as a makeup consultant and receptionist and I'm totally about to binge watch your videos! ❤
Thank you very much loved the do's side soo pretty! Pls tell which brushes you use . The list and wehere can they be bought. I think its all abt having quality brushers and powders.
Hi sona, i have a similar eye shape, this was really helpfull because i didn't know about the dark color in the inside part of the eye
Thanks i love your vídeos !!!!
Saludos desde Colombia
+Manuela ruiz ramos JAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
+Manuela ruiz ramos Ya te iba a decirrrr
Thank U so much for this video! I am an older lady where the eyes have changed and now the lid droops n doing my make up isn't easy, but what you showed was wonderful!
I've gone my entire life not knowing I had hooded eyes until this video what the heck!!! (i have very similar eyes to yours btw. didn't realize this was considered hooded)
same!
I really don't believe sona has hooded eyes or if so very subtle, I have hooded eyes and I can't even see my lid!! Lol
She told some others that she has a heavy fold. :) maybe that helps you
+alex m she does not have hooded eyes! you can see her crease and above her lash line.. google jennifer lawrence, blake lively, camilla belle.. they all have hooded eyes.. there are different types of hooded eyes.. jennifer lawrence has puffy looking hooded eyes.. where as some peoples eyes droop down only in the middle! youre lucky if you have eyes similar to Sonas!
She doesn't have hooded eyes at all... Hers are basically a perfect example of e opposite of hooded eyes haha
I think you did a great job. manipulating your crease with the eyeshadow really us an huge improvement and you're totally right on the shimmer eyeshadow on the crease and the heavy eyeliner, it really bogs down the eye.
your eyes arent even hooded tf
THANK YOU!!! I HAVE HEAVY HOODED EYES!!! I used to just skip my eyes because they never look right but now I know how to do them!
But you don't have hooded eyes. When you eyes are open, I can SEE you crease shadow. Mine disappears completely. In fact, my upper lid disappears COMPLETELY. You wouldn't even know I had a crease if I didn't blink. Still found this helpful, so thanks.
My eyes are very similar and I've struggled with how to do my crease. Also eyeliner is so so hard. Thanks for this.
everyone watching this, just remember that hooded eyes are not something that necessarily need "fixing". there is nothing wrong with your eyeshape. you don't need to fix or change it to look pretty.
Completely agree with you I once got a makeover and the girl kept saying this will make your eyes appear rounder . Lol at the end I said hmmmm I get the most compliments on my eyes why would I want them round .
I agree! I love hooded eyes I'm tired of people feeling like its a downfall
I love my eyes but I want to know how to do eye make up on them. Right now it's like a game of hide and seek. I put eyeshadow on but once I open my eye it's gone lmaoo
She may not have hooded eyes, but I'm still thankful that she's made a video for people with hooded eyes anyway. It's very helpful and I've learned a lot from this.
This is the only video I've seen from you and I just want to say that this really helped and that you are really cute😘
Aww thanks pretty. 😘😘 welcome to the family.
+Sona Gasparian you're awesome 😉
Feathers and Whales
Thank you for this video!! I have hooded eyed and have been wanted to wear eye shadow... but didn't know how! Great video!!!
What everyone is failing to realize is that there are different "degrees" of hooded. At 23 I am just realizing that I have hooded eyes because I thought hooded eyes meant deep invisible hidden lids. But nope, it's any fold that covers the lid slightly or completely. It takes just working at it for you and your hood "degree". The no shimmer tip is golden because my eyes look horrible if shimmer even gets close to my hood.
This is a nice look (the good side, that is). But one technique I’ve learned (I have hooded eyes) is that the color normally used to put in the crease must be applied above the crease line.
If you put it in the crease, it disappears the moment you open your eyes.
I’m definitely going to try out that look, though. Thanks for the video!
seems like you tried harder on the do side. Like more colors and more attention
Wow! This was so informative!! Thank you so much. I have looked at this video so many times. Can hardly wait to see more of yours tips and techniques.
I think I'm confused about a "hooded eye" means?! From what I thought I understood, your eyes didn't appear to be hooded. Mine are a lot like yours. I thought that hooded meant that you couldn't see the lid when they eyes are open? If I'm misunderstanding, will you please tell me the difference? Maybe I've been applying my shadows all wrong for my eye type?! 😳😂
hooded eyes is when you have an extra fold of skin that closes your eyes a bit more. i have hooded eyes but that doesnt necessarily mean you cant see my whole lid, some peoples eyes are my hooded and some peoples arent, still a challenge either way
+Nicole Gomez more hooded*
+Nicole Gomez ok, I was wrong. I did misunderstand the meaning then. Mine are very similar to hers in this video. I never usually watched videos geared toward hooded eyes because I always thought it didn't apply to me, oops! 😂. Thank you for clearing that up. I'm anxious to try these tips and see if my eyes look better then before. I've always wondered why my eyeshadow looks never quite look the same as they were meant to. Guess now I know! I'm over 40 and have been doing things wrong since I was in high school. Haha
+Angie Dalton I am yr age and i find my eyes getting more hooded in the last few years, as a result of the aging process.. our face changes
+Angie Dalton plz pm asap plz! I'm not a spammer or a creeper like it DOES look like. Thank you girl!
OMG! Thank you for this! I have search for years for a tutorial on how to handle my eyelids. I ALWAYS end up looking like the Don't.
I am sorry but i just can't agree with you. You can't blend one side and the other you just put the color there and say see it looks terrible. ofcourse it looks terrible when you are not even trying. I always that thought i can't go with shimmer because of such tutorials. But you can 1. Blend a nude and then put shimmer. it looks great.
Great tips! I like that you still included some shimmer on the correct eye. Most people with hooded eyes tend to stay away completely. It was done very tastefully.
I liked the makeup but... where the hell are your hooded eyes? Those are not hooded. Lol
Nati Enríquez there's different types of hooded
The skin doesn't have to fall so heavily 😒🙄
I can see all of her eyelid clearly. There's no hood covering it up.
Nati Enríquez like I said it doesn't have to cover the eye
She has a fold but it isn't a heavy fold ....
Vianney Romero007 Everyone has a fold in their eyelids. But hooded eyes have HOODS.
FlyingMonkies325 What?
Whaaaaaaat my eyes are similar to yours too! Which kinda makes me think my eyes are slightly hooded and maybe yours are slightly slightly hooded since you don't have small eyes but a lot of lid space. If your eyes are far apart it's ok to add a little bit of black and if your eyes are close together use lighter colors to create space.
I am going to get surgery on my heavy hooded eyes.. Fucking hate them.
i feel you :(
i hate mine too and i want surgery as well!!
y'all Korean?
Kimberly Balgoa no why
N No
This was so helpful! I have hooded eyes and I was not sure where to place the shadows
True comments:
"Her eyes aren't hooded"
Fake comments:
"Oml this helped so much ily!"
I think she's just showing the steps that people with hodded eyes should follow.
FlyingMonkies325 that explains you
I loved this video and found it to be really helpful. I couldn't agree more about the shimmer shadows, they are beautiful but a bit much for my lids unfortunately.
9:10 "I've got a nice lid space".. ha! you obviously forgot who you were making this video for.... we (people who actually have hooded eyes) don't have lids that show, hello?! That's why they're called hooded.
Long lashes won't "hide what we worked so hard for".. our hooded eyes will! They also would just completely eat up those short lashes. So, thanks for trying but you have no idea what you're talking about.
Love this video. It helped a lot. I have watched several hooded eye videos and this is def one of the best. By showing what to do and what not to do. Great idea. I just can't wait for my looks to turn out that good. I just want to get the lashes down. I am literally missing a section of lashes on one eye due to shingles because if have bad immune system from fighting Cancer for 13 yrs on and off. I got them really bad on my face and scalp and left me scared. Bangs hide most of it. But have a lot lashes missing on that eye. I have got to practice on the lashes. So u can't tell I'm missing a whole bunch. Mostly only on the outer edge left to put mascara on. Thanks so much for the help.
What was the point of the "don't" side? Looks like makeup I did when I was 12.
-___- Could have actually tried to makeup it actually wearable and not a hot mess.
Finally learned how to correctly put on eyeshadow on my eyes!! Thank you so so much! Now I know which ones to use in my collection.
you basically just doing a bad make up on the don't side with no effort of blending or so whatever
oh my god how beautiful what a difference finally found hooded eye tutorial do's and don'ts that I can actually follow that actually makes sense and that is truly beautiful thank you so much
you dont have hooded eyes tho
Night and day! Thank you soooo much. I have crepey hooded lids (same as my mother), I try to stay to matte shadows, but I guess I was still making mistakes with liquid eyeliner and my brows. One question though. If one eyes hood droops more than the other, do you have any tips to make it less noticeable?
my eyes are really hooded. when they're open, you couldn't really see any shadow.....and I keep on spending a lot of time blending and all that stuff 💔
I feel you 100% since I have the same exact problem. I do recommend watching the straight technique on Wayne Goss's UA-cam channel. Since hooded eyes cover the lid, he basically put the colors vertically instead of horizontally like in this video, if that actually made any sense what so ever.
BobJonsen oooh!!! thank you!!! I will definitely check that!!
I loved this video!!!! Looks natural and great!!!! Brazilian girls use too much make up. It doesnt look good. Thank you!!! You have inspired me!!
is it bad that I think the 'dont' eye looks way better LMFAO !
+Brittany Me No way! The don't eye looks 15 yrs older and really drag queenish.
+Kristina Bishop omg yessss !!!
This was gonna be my comment lol and I decided to read the comments first and said Yes Someone else thought that too and I feel as though she was being a tad sloppy with the "bad" eye...I thought it looked pretty...
Yes, its really wrong
Your eye lids are so similar to mine! It's difficult to find a tutorial with a partial folded lid. I've found hooded eyes, and their polar opposite, but very little in the middle..so THANK YOU!! Very appreciated! Have you ever done falsies where the longer length is in the middle of the eye, rather than longer toward the end?
she doesn't even have hooded eyes what
i tried looking all over youtube for a useful tutorial i am already obsessed with you! thank you.
I think the bad side just looks bad regardless if you have hooded eyes or not...
I just found out that I was doing everything that was on the "no-no" eye! It definitely looks better on the "good" eye - but I have to practice it - I always painted my eyes the other way! Thank you for helpful video!
My eyes are so hooded I can't wear eyeliner 😢😢😢
Where pencil eyeliner on ur bottom waterline
I have hooded eyes that was the best tutorial I have seen concerning how to make them look open or I should say what to and not to do. Thanks Sona
the techniques is cool but sorry u are not hooded ; (
angelrheanna11 there's different types of hooded eyes
You're just a troll trying to piss people off.. shoo
When you went black & white for a second, difference between makeups was far out! Awesome demo, I have hooded eyes and most of all eye tutorials sort of work for me, but not quite? This nailed it! Thank YOU!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!! Of course 😘😘
But she doesnt have hooded eyes... and i see better the DONT eye o.O
I have hooded eyes and I wear shimmery eyeshadows a lot, and they always look good. My eyes aren't the same shape so I always have to do my eyeliner thicker on my left eye. I do agree with the eyebrow situation though. I stopped dragging it down and it's made such a big difference.
I wish you tried harder like a girl would normally do it so we can see what exactly we are doing wrong.
Thanks so much for this video, it's awesome to finally find someone with sort of the same eyelids as me!! Mine kind of wrinkle twice in the hood rather than just one smooth hood so this is great
I agree with the previous person. You obviously do not have a hooded eye so we can't relate to you or wonder why you're doing this video!
Because their are different types of hooded eyes and for some people this will work. Get over your self
Great tutorial thank you, do you have any tips for older women with hooded eyes please?
In what world are your eyes "hooded"? It's easy to do "makeup for hooded eyes" if you don't actually have to deal with the hooded part. You've got eyelid space to spare, want to donate me some?
Thank you for the excellent video! What a huge difference. I love that you show the do and the don't at the same time. I learned 2 things I was doing wrong that was dragging my eye down.
excuse you but creating a thick cat eye with a liquid liner is not a makeup don't. may not be what you prefer but definitely not a makeup dont
thank you! I have never been able to figure out why fake lashes never looked good on me - now I know!! I love your tutorial very pretty makeup!
Are you sure you have hooded eyes
cel xoxo there's different types of hooded eyes
I'm 61 and I'm getting very hooded eyelids. I love this tutorial you did a great job and made it looks so easy! Thanks
