Hooded Eyes - simple makeup techniques for mature, hooded eyes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- In this quick and simple tutorial, I will show you how to correct eyes that have become hooded with age. Some people are born with hooded eyes and that's a very pretty shape and should be embraced in my opinion.
This tutorial is for older women, like me, who’s upper eye lids have become lower over time.
Using a beginner level makeup technique, I will show you how to get a more lifted and rested appearance. Being over 60 myself, I have first-hand experience with hooded eyes that sometimes make me look more tired than I feel!
There are minimum products required to achieve this look.

Finally! I found an age appropriate video! You are beautiful, easy to listen to and show everything you are doing in a bright and easy to see manner. Thank you for your wonderful videos! I'm a 65 yr old and haven't applied make up in years due to the sagging, hooded eyes from aging and the fact that I can't see easily without glasses. I'm attending an event soon and need to figure out how to do the right make up for my hooded eyes. I'm still practicing your techniques but I'm confident. My problem is having to see clearly without my specs and no mirror I have found seems to be magnified enough. I suppose there's nothing you can do about that LOL. However, I do love how you make it seem so simple so that I don't need to do everything so precisely. Except for the lashes, which has proven challenging. Good thing I decided to start practicing early.
Same! Getting close enough to the bathroom mirror to see without my glasses is the main reason why I give up!
I have a small magnifying mirror but it’s only good for one eye. 😆 👁
I even tried doing my makeup in the car mirror but it only looked good twice. 😂
Thanks so much for your comment Robin, have fun at your special event! x
@@stephaniepapaleo521 I'm glad I am not the only one who struggles with this! A 5 x large mirror, 10 x for detail and in excellent natural light is the only way for me 😂
@@elizabethyoung3408 I’m going out this weekend to find a mirror, it’s discouraging to try to find the crease in the eye when far away then it’s difficult to judge just how dark the eyeshadow shadow is, the blending is hard when u can’t see up close
Will these colours work on blue eyes and I am very dark brown haired with flashes of blond I also wear glasses
Finally someone who actually has hooded eyes ... fed-up seeing 20 year olds pretending they have hooded eyes and demonstrating how to apply makeup. Thank you so much - you look gorgeous 😍
Thanks so much glad you like this. I know, I’ve seen them also - people doing a video for hooded eyes and they’re not in the least bit hooded! 🙄
Yes I'm glad you have HE too,lol. Finally!
THANK YOU for that honest comment!!!
These tutorials are great for us “aging” women. Someone commented about hooded eyes on young women, and, truth be told, she’s right. They’re not exactly “hooded”. So between age, and Botox or Juveau injections, this is great to see!! In another one I watched, as soon as I saw primer & powder I was off. Powder isn’t the smartest thing to use, as it intensifies lines around the eyes 🤦🏻♀️.
If you’re middle aged & climbing; stick to these exact type of tutorials and practice what’s best for you.
Beautiful.
Thank you for not taking 35 minutes to do this. That’s what makes it useful.
Yes! 🙌 I am going to try this before work and I only have a few minutes in morning routine for any makeup!
Really glad you found this useful, thanks so much!
Where have you been all my life. Finally! A woman older than 30 to show a real face.
You are so kind, thank you very much!
The one who have hooded eyes and did the real makeover. Amazing makeover
Refreshing to finally find a make up look that doesn’t require a trowel. Very natural. 👌🏻
Perfect! That is exactly how I do my very hooded eyes, and it does have the desired affect. I was happy to see someone showing us how to do this who actually IS a bit older instead of a 20 yr old model whose skin is nothing like skin 50+ yrs old. I'm 71 now (older than you I'm sure) so I appreciate seeing results like this.
Thank you, Kerry-Lou! My eyes were my best feature when I was young, so my hooded, aged eyelids were very depressing. Other 'corrective' videos were very complicated and the result often overdone; but this is perfect: simple, natural and effective. Thanks again!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍rrrr
Same now hooded
Same, Anna .. Perfectly stated.
Same. I even had upper eyelid surgery but it didn't help. :(
Yes, same here, I almost gave up wearing eye shadow, then I decided why? My eyes were also a great feature, now they are hooded, oh well.
This is the most helpful hooded eye video I’ve ever seen! Thank you for posting this!’
Wow, a real hooded eye for us to copy!
Cripes! So many steps, so much work to look like I used to . Eff it! Take me as I am!
I'm amazed what a difference you subtle look makes.
Beautiful! Thank you fir giving us “mature” women some great techniques!!!!
Thank-you kindly for being a lady. You seem to be gentle and kind. You are well-spoken, clear and informative. It is refreshing to watch a video without foul language. Thank-you kindly ❤️❤️❤️. I look forward to more.
this is what I have been looking for! I see so many people trying to do these videos and they're like 30ish and don't even have hooded eyes - I'm 65 and I really do have hooded droopy sagging eyes so thank you so much for this very helpful video!!
So glad you like this Michelle, I know what you mean, sometimes I look at the younger videos claiming they have a hooded eyes! I’m sure years from now they will look back and say “oh my goodness my eyes were not hooded, but they are now!” All the best to you! 😘
Absolutely the best tutorial I've ever watched for hooded eyes. 👏
Thank you for such a simple and straight forward tutorial on making the best of hooded eyes. There are so many tutorials out there and they all faff about with tons of different shades, brushes etc and it just looks horrible when you try to replicate it. This is simple and extremely elegant ( just like you) and more age appropriate. I shall be trying this in the morning. Have a lovely day Kerry :)
Thanks so much Andrea, the idea for the video came about as I was doing my own makeup in a hurry, (As I usually am) I just used the one color, and wondered if my viewers would like it, or think it too simple. So thanks for the feed-back and I'm glad you liked it!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍rrrr
Agree 💯 Andrea! I want a straightforward approach to makeup - minus a gazillion brushes, multiple shades that promise to do this/do that. Looks great on the video but horrible on me and ends up aging me in general.
@@31Alden Hello Rhubarb how are you doing today?
Just found you...and absolutely love you. Pushing the big 4-0 and I find myself searching for more age appropriate makeup videos. Also, my mom, who's almost 60 but looks 45, always wants me to do her makeup. So I'm desperately searching for mature make tutorials, done by mature people. Thank you so much for your help and your channel. You are GORGEOUS!
Thanks so much Jennifer! it must be so nice to do your mum's makeup, a nice way to hang-out together! All the best! xx
Yes ma'am. I'm very blessed to have my Mom. She's had a few serious health issues over the past 12 years, including breast cancer, mom's î
I just found a Real make-up artist! Thank you 💜🍃
Such a compliment, thank you so much!
Oh yes thank you Kerry Lou 💞
Yes, Thanks for keeping it simple. I'm not interested in what to me is a "glamour look" in so many other videos, or the time & effort it takes!
You are so welcome!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍rrrr
Very simple technique and easy and quick. Thanks for sharing your tips. Your makeup is very subtle and makes you look fresh and beautiful!
Thanks Cindy, I'm glad you liked it:-)
THANK YOU!!!!!
As a naturally born "hoodie", I have always had trouble with eyeshadow looks. As a teeny-bopper learning from fashion mags, I couldn't understand why i could never replicate the beautiful and amazingly colorful looks, no matter how much I tried or practiced. UA-cam and Google were non-existent, I didn't have anyone close who knew what they were doing, and the one person I was able to get "cosmetic advice" from was hell bent making me look like a clown. Magazines were my only real option.
Today, there's so many tutorials out there, but they seem to be over the top difficult with several types of brushes, expensive products and just too much makeup for my liking. I highly recommend this tutorial for us "natural hoodies" as a perfect technique to build onto with more extravagant looks.
Also, I absolutely love your hair. I have defended my grey from the very first strand and refuse to cover it. I'm not joking when I say that while others were dyeing their grey roots brown, I was dyeing my brown roots grey. Today, I'm about 70% to my goal of having the beautiful white/silver/grey hair I've always wanted. My daughter is getting ready to hit her teen years, so I'm guessing I'll be at 100% in zero time.
Thanks for your feed-back about your hooded eyes journey. I really believe we should not see hooded eyes as a negative thing, we just have to do our makeup differently! I wonder what percentage of the world has naturally hooded eyes? I'll bet it's most of the population! Good luck with your teen! xx
I'm getting to my 46th years with very hooded and mature eyes and skin and I really appreciate your videos. Very useful! Love your style and fashionable
way of getting older. Hugs from Italy
And hugs back to you Lu! Thanks for watching, I'm glad you find the video useful xox
I have never worn eye shadow because Of my hooded eyes, now I am nearly 50 they are a little worse. You video has given me hope and I am going to try this simple but very effective technique. It's the best demo I have seen thank you xx
You are so welcome! Please let me know how it goes! x
Hooded eye girl here, thank you.
I always had hooded eyes which eventually affected my vision. It was such a boost when I had surgery to remove part of the skin. Very little pain and about a week of looking as if I had been in a fight:) Still sightly hooded a few years later so loved your video.
Thank you for your feed-back, I'm sure it helps a lot of people that are considering surgery!
Thank you so much for that info and technique. I like that it's still soft and not too dramatic. Looks natural. You look lovely!
Shared to Pinterest as usual lovely lady and I'm sure that you're aware you're getting over 70K views now! Thank you for your remarkable content. You're helping thousands of women around the world to embrace their age and to believe in themselves no matter how old they are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💖 (Gorgeous Old Gals) xxxx
Hi thank you so much for your support, I really appreciate your positive feed-back. I will check out your Pinterest page for sure!
Thank you so much !!!! Finally I see quick make up for REALLY hooded eyes . ❤ you look absolutely beautiful
!!!!!!!
I keep on watching this video, every time I will put eyelashes and eyeliner to my eyes, I can't do your amazing subtle style, still hard for me, but still will.. Thank you Kerry! God bless you!.
Love it..nice and simple and can definitely see a difference! This is just what I've been looking for as most of the hooded eye videos I see are younger people just born with that eye shape. Not on us seniors. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Marjorie!
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial that I recently discovered. I followed your techniques (after watching it a half dozen times) and I finally look,well, pretty good for a 74 year old with very hooded eyes. I have subscribed to your channel and really appreciate your tips. You are a beautiful lady!
This is exactly what I needed to watch. Quick and easy process. Thankyou.
Glad it was helpful!
You are a beautiful woman, with or without makeup! I'm in my early 70's, Asian, & definitely have hooded eyes; therefore, your tutorial video would really help me & women out there with same issues. Thank you so much for showing us your technique. Have a wonderful day & GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been doing this technique since turning sixty, and it works! I appreciate you sharing the names of the products you used, too. I will need to check some of them out.
Very effective, very natural. It's been years since I've been able to work illusions with darker, more dramatic colors that made it easier. My hooded eyes really bother me because they make me look tired. I do my eyes pretty much like this but I'll follow your "recipe" next. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I am a licensed cosmetologist and I have a few weddings to do this summer. A couple of my brides are not in their 20s or 30s anymore and I will be helping out a couple of the mothers of the bride as well. Very informative video and channel for proper techniques on more mature women.
Glad it was helpful, I've always loved working with mothers of the bride, they are usually afraid of too much makeup, so I love to give them a vibrant, natural or glam look! Even if I do a glamorous look, I always keep the foundation natural looking - a good thing for a younger mua to note is that you cannot "cover" wrinkles, and that's OK. I like to play-up the clients best features. All the best to you!
So happy to find this video. Have subscribed only because l was so impressed by the difference it made. Thank you.
You're so pretty with the soothing voice and candid teaching style. Love ya!
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much Kerry-Lou, great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow what a differences I'm tryn this my hoods r heavy🤞Thank You Kerry Lou 😘
I'm SO glad I found your video. The very very best! Thank you! All of the rest I found were so unnatural & not simple.
For the first time in years I'm looking forward to wearing eye makeup. Thank you so much for making such an easy to follow video.
I’m so glad you found this helpful, thank you so much!
The best tutorial on how to apply eye shadow to hooded eyes. Thank you so much❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am spanish but I learn english with you and I loveeeeee to see you😘
Wow, I'll have to watch my grammar more from now on! thanks for watching ;-D
I have hooded eyes, too, with a bit downward slant. I do wear eyeliner at times but I find that the thinner the line, the more it enhances my eyes. I really enjoy your tutorials. I especially enjoy your honesty and you don't make women feel bad about their flaws and/or maturity...instead, you show us how to make the most of what we have as mature women, and your positive personality shines through! As a result, I personally feel 'positive' about myself. Thanks so much! ❤
Try tightlining with a liquid or gel liner. It is the only technique I use for my upper lids.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍rrrr
Wow ! Im so glad i found this!
Ive subscribed
Just need to stop my eyes from watering all the time first
Thank you 🙏.
Wow what an eye opener!
My kids just fell within the last month, so this is great to see! Thanks much!
Wow. What a difference. I’m going to try this tomorrow morning.
Thanks, let me know how it went!
You found me just when I needed you. My 50 year old eyes are begging to be a little saggy in the skin and I never knew what to do with my hooded eyes which hood over the end of my eye. Your eyes are beautiful and I feel inspired again.
Thank, so glad you liked this video!
You look so natural beautiful!
Thank you!
I have 1 eye that is more hooded, as did my mum and one grandson. Thanks so much. And I have only found you in 2 videos and have to say love love that your makeup looks so natural not as if have a full face on. Beautiful!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment 😊 yes, it’s very common to have one way more hooded than the other, most people have asymmetrical faces 😉
I have a client comimg up with mature hooded eyes ( my first) and I want to make sure I place the shadows in the right place. Thank so much!!!
Great tutorial, you really represent all of us women that after 60 look great and young looking. I think that taking care of myself and look the best is good for the physical and mental health, bravo👍
Thank you so much for your sweet comment Norma! Thanks for watching also :-D
Incredible and perfect tutorial
So simple yet so effective. I'm going to go try that. Thanks!
This video was fantastic!! Easy to follow and now I know how to apply eye make-up for my eye type. Thank you!!!
So glad this was helpful to you, thank you Jill! 🌸
She looks beautiful with or without makeup!
Kerry-Lou, you're an instant makeup crush!✨ Such a profound understanding of harmony and how to work with the natural features.
Thank you so much, what a nice compliment! xx

You are so beautiful!! Thank you for the great information!! 👍🏻❤️
Kerry-Lou I'm so glad I found your channel I'm 55 and don't were makeup for the simple fact that I don't know how to apply it. I especially love your method for cream blush.
I'm glad you're picking up a few tips, thanks for watching!
LOVE how clear you are on how to achieve this exact look. 👍🏽
Thank you. What a difference! I will absoloutly try this!! :)
So easy so natural! Thank you thank you.
Thanks Nan, glad you liked it!
Wow Thank you so much! I have watched countless videos only to be dissapointed on my outcome. I completely stopped wearing makeup at work due to it being such a mess, just mascara. I tried this today for a wedding and it came out great! It was simple, and straightforward. So excited going forward that I finally can do my own makeup! only took me 58 years!
Thanks for your feed-back Denise, I am so happy that you liked this makeup techniques and that it worked for you! All the best to you x
Thanks honey for this simple straight forward tutorial 💕 Have a great week 👍😊
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
@@kerrylou3 Have a great week looking forward to your next video my dear 👍💞😁
Love the music playing. The all your great tips. Your eye looks great.
Thank you so much!
For ladies that aren’t comfortable with their mascara wand I was taught in beauty school to actually bend the wand to your eye shape. They’re easy to bend so don’t be afraid.
Great tip, thank you!
Thank you. I almost every time poke myself in the left eye. Going to try it
Great video! Simply explained for someone who just learned they have 'hooded eyes'. =)
Really enjoyed this tutorial
..just a touch intimidating as it looks as if you have applied base eye makeup/ mascara already
I think you look great. This technique is perfectly subtle.
Thank you so much! I love your natural and fresh look! I get so confused about what to do. I think I have been applying too much and too dark of a shadow in an attempt to "lift" my eyes! I will definitely try your colors and technique tomorrow morning!
Glad you liked this! Good luck with the new technique ;-D
What a lovely lady and the eye make up was perfect and really makes a difference. Thank you
Enjoyed immensely, model has glowing skin! Hope she continues; lov the simple method and the minimal amount of effort.
Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed this 😊
Beautiful and yes that is a hooded eye, this is what I have a problem with , thank you so much ❣️🫶
You’re welcome 😊 thanks for watching!
Wonderful video for an everyday magic for hooded eyes. 😊
So glad you liked it!
Thank you so mucho for this simple makeup which makes a big difference. I have hooded eyes mostly genetics from my mom, and I'm always looking for ways to disguise it. I also need to mention that I love your beautiful accent, Lovely! Thanks again!🌷
Thank you, you're very kind. I appreciate your watching the video. I'll be doing some bolder looks for hooded eyes in the coming months :-D
Hooded eyes or not, you are a lovely lady who looks great and speaks beautifully. Graceful, charming and elegant. A wonderful example, with a bit of luck, we could age gracefully. Thanks for giving us a glimmer of hope.
Thank you so much 🤗
Thank you, Kerry. Appreciate your tutorials so much❤️🌈👏
Best hooded video I’ve seen on UA-cam thank you I will try it
Such a great compliment, thank you so much! 😘
Great video, so glad I found your channel.
Thank you. I have hooded eyes. This will help.
Love that mascara..thanks for tip
thank you for being specific in words
You’re welcome, thanks for watching 😊
just stumbled upon your channel, and It’s a GEM!
Wow, thank you, so glad you liked this!
thank you so much, the look is very light an d natural. I try all the time to do my eye makeup for hooded eyes but there is so much makeup it just looks too make up. I love this technique and will be trying it today!
I'm glad this techniques appeals to you Andrea, thanks for watching!
Hooded eyes since birth so obviously aging hasn't helped any. I've watched many hooded eye videos and to be honest their eyes didn't look hooded to me at all. Thank you so much for this video, you have greatly helped me!
Thank you so much Dawn, I am glad this video was helpful to you! 😊
Thank you Kerry Lou. I love your videos. You make it so simple to follow.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching ;-D
I have hooded eyes and I hate makeup. Your tutorial is helpful and you don't chirp at us like the kids on here. Lol thanks for doing your thing in front of us. I might learn makeup yet....
Wow that was really good. I will try that thank you
You are beautiful with perfect skin. Love your video
Very noticeable difference, thank you. My eyes have hooded alot the past year or two and it really aggravates me. Unless I intentionally have my opes open wide I almost like high or very sleepy grrr
everytime, I watched your video, I am really amazed😍 you're so beautiful! I like your style😘💕
Thank you so much!!
You are a beautiful woman, I’ll try your way, is been years since I apply make up , I used to love to do my eyes and I did them beautifully, I’m now 71 also with short gray hear, thank you ☺️
Thanks Teresa, it's fun to try a new way to do things!
Wow Kerry, you really take my fear of getting older, you're gorgeous 😍 subscribed, we're all not getting any younger, so I'll start preparing my beauty knowledge for later
It's not fair how good your skin looks Lady! I wish I didn't sun bathe when I was in my early twenties! How do you temporarily smooth or fill wrinkles before applying makeup?
Thanks so much! There are great primers on the market - I like the ones by Nyx, or DRMTLGY.
