After watching at least 20 "hooded eye" videos - this is the ONLY one we're you actually give tips for truly hooded eyes! I'm older and my eyelids were hooded naturally and are now sagging over my eye, so true makeup tips with similar challenges makes all the difference. Thank you!
Dear Risa, I've followed your tutorial step by step. We were doing our makeup together and for the very first time I managed to do my eye makeup decently. I'm so proud of myself (I need more practice!) and I'm so thankful to you. This is a huge day for me. I'd almost given up on eyeshadow. 💖💖💖
Who in the world would give this video a thumbs down? I have eyes exactly like yours and you do your eyes exactly the way I do. I’ve watched many videos and through trial and error this is exactly what has worked for me. Very good job at teaching and explaining! You will help many women. 👍🏼
I just took off my eye makeup so I could try this, and holy cow! I can't believe the difference it made!! This is 100% a game changer for me! Thank you so much for such an excellent video for us little bit older, very hooded eye gals who want to feel like their eyes can still look pretty. 😍🤗
It's SO NICE seeing a hooded eye vid from someone who actually has hooded eyes. Most vids, you see their crease. That's not hooded. Yours are. This vid is a godsend. Thank you.
@@RisaDoesMakeup Yes exactly, Im around your age and my eyes are even more hooded and smaller than yours ;-( I have never found ANY video of anyone with really hooded eyes, your tutorial is the closest I get, my eyes are not only hooded but they are stuck deep in the face with the dark circles under, that would be a real challenge to the so called beauty experts who have usually big eyes with big eyelids :-((( everyone can apply eye shadows on such eyes, even a complete beginner. Thank you for the great work you are doing!
Stunning results. I'm 51 and have been doing my eyes differently since my hooding has gotten worse. There's a few things you said in here that made a major difference in my eyes looking way better. Thank you
When I first started watching this I thought, "oh great, another person showing how to do hooded eyes who doesn't actually have hooded eyes" then your eye makeup was off and I went, "oh thank goodness!" It is SO hard to really get it when people do the tutorials on non-hooded eyes and just tell you what to do if the hood were there. This was SO helpful!
Sparkle Freak Same here!! I have really hooded eyes and have watched so many tutorials on the subject that are just useless. Even the UA-camrs who say that their eyes are hooded, don't have hoods as bad as mine and the looks that they do just don't work on my eyes! Risa is the first one who's hooded eyes look similar to mine and I'm definitely going to try her techniques!
Love this vide ! This was a helpful demonstration so much so that I feel comfortable trying this shadow technic. Thank you so much for making this video!
To be honest??? I watched a lot of tutorials for hooded eyes. Including the videos to make a wing with hooded eyes. This is the best video of all. I really mean it!! Nice soft lines....soft colours...My age ( 54, feeling 25 :) ) has hooded my eyes. This is defenitely a technique i will try . Thank you!!
OH MY GOSH. You are changing lives out here! Lol. I'm inching toward 40 and feel like I'm starting over learning how to apply makeup. You are wonderful and I appreciate the time you invested to make this awesome video!
I NEVER wore Makeup,. Just unliner, NOW reaching 50 & find myself Upper Lip lines, Cover Up, found The Best, Shared with goPure VIPs'... Now looking for a Make Overs!! 🙄🙄
This is saving my life. Everything you said about "looking like classic UA-camrs" is so true...I feel like that expectation makes people with less usual eye shapes feel like there is something WRONG with our faces. They are actual beautiful shapes...we are just told to apply makeup to them in ways that are not flattering. Thanks for sharing this!
First time things have finally fallen into place and I totally understand how to do my eye makeup. I have literally watched tons of UA-cam tutorials and yours is hands down the best of the best. In terms of clarity and also a zoomed in view, and then the most sensible product/brush recommendations.... just thank you!
It's 2019 but this information is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. At 55 I have deep set hooded down turned eyes with eyebrows that are getting thinner and have begun to give me a severe frowning look. Thank you for all of this information, including the encouragement to experiment.
Thank goodness!!! Finally --- someone with true hooded eyes doing AMAZING, EASY TO FOLLOW make up videoes --- that actually look nice!! Thanks for sharing🥰
I cannot tell you how helpful this was. You explained everything so well, and you’ve also said the WHY when you don’t do something. THESE ARE THINGS MOST ARE LACKING. New sub now. This is amazing. Half the people who say they have “hooded eyes” don’t.
Thank you Risa for the great tips and tricks for hooded down turned eyes. I love the look and you have beautiful eyes. I also have one eye that's more hooded and I get so frustrated with it. It's nice to know that you have a tip for that issue. I have so much makeup, especially eyeshadow palettes and most of them are still new. I live in Louisiana and most of the year it's hot and humid so I wear minimal makeup. When it's hot outside I just sweat off 😩 whatever I put on my face. I do wear moisturizer and a very good sunscreen year round. I've been a subscriber to your channel for years and I've learned alot from you. Thanks again.
I so hope you have had tons of feedback so you know how absolutely important this hooded/downturned eye tutorial is for those of us “blessed” with these beauties!!!!! It is SOOO easy to get frustrated while applying eye makeup after watching tutorials because you want to use fun products but the look NEVER turns out the way you see it done!!! Thank you, Risa, so much for this!!!!
I am 59 yrs young, finding your video will help me immensely. I have been battling this problem for a while now I"m going to give it a try and hope my eyes look much better. TY for the tips
I'm an esthetician, but started out as a make-up artist 2 decades ago and have ALWAYS done the lid color 1st in the way you've demonstrated here. L❤VE this technique and lave a hooded "asian-esque" eye as well. Loving all your videos!
Risa, I am so happy to have finally found a you tube make up influencer that I can relate to! Thanks to my 24 year old daughter, I have been watching make up bloggers such as Jaclyn Hill and Desi Perkins (just to name a few) for years. And although they are amazing at their crafts, I always found it challenging to achieve their looks on my “mature” skin. This mama is so happy and grateful to have finally found an influencer that I can relate to and in turn relates to the 50 year old me and not the 24 year old me. I can’t stop watching your videos and you’ve taught me so much in the short amount of time that I’ve been watching your channel. Keep doing what you are doing! Thank you so much!
Finding this was a god send! I'm only 16, but I have incredibly hooded eyes and get mistaken for being Asian constantly. None of the hundreds of tutorials I've watched have been as helpful as yours. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for representing the hood! I didn't realize my eyelids weren't "standard" until a makeup artist tried putting a dark shadow along my natural crease and had to keep going higher and higher because you couldn't see it at all once I opened my eyes! Going to try tightlining tomorrow morning :)
I can't tell you how refreshing this video is! YOU are the most real, honest, completly candid makeup expert I've ever seen on this channel. I've tried lid strips with little to no success. I just don't like the feeling of a "bandaid" on my eyelid! You've renewed my confidence in deliberately crafting the hooded/wrinkly lid into a more natural (younger) look!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My hooded eyes are jumping for joy. This is the most helpful video, I believe that because you can relate to us it helps. You are awesome my heart is happy for this video but mostly because you strive to help your viewers. Thank you very much Risa, looking forward to your next video.
You have a very genuine, positive and up lifting personality! I love the way you give people the options to be themselves regardless of what you or anyone else is doing! Very beautiful 😍
Much needed since after turning 65 I now have hooded eyes! I don't want to have surgery, so your technique is a blessing. Thanks - you look marvelous, darling!
Thank you so much for this video! I've watched so many videos for hooded and/or downturned eyes and been so disappointed. You were so thorough in your explanation and the info about using small brushes is so helpful! Thank you again!
This is an incredible video. I'm 67 and didn't realize anyone addressed this issue. I loved the description, numbers and types of brushes, too. Very informative!
This was the best hooded eye makeup video I’ve seen. I would never guess that you have hooded eyes when I saw your makeup. Fabulous job and I can’t wait to try these tips ☺️
This is, by far, the best video on applying shadow to hooded eyes I've ever seen! As so many others have commented, watching someone try to show you this type of application on "regular" eyes is basically useless. I always new how to apply my eye makeup until gravity set in and things started to fall! After watching this video, I know I'll feel much more confident with my application. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Ris!!! I've been watching you since that first droopy vid u did and I have to tell u that I've seen such a change in how u present yourself...these days u r more confident, light, engaging, non- defensive and u seem to b genuinely having fun! It's contagious! Love it! You r a great teacher! Keep them coming! And thank u for not forgetting us 40 year old gals!
Agree, you used to apologize and defend yourself against the idiots online and now you are just glowing with confidence. Ive really loved so much of your content lately. And I love that you still teach, I love watching tutorials and tips and tricks.❤
You are a jewel! I have watched you for about the last 2-3 years. It's been awhile. The only way that I would stop seeing you would be because you left! Keep on keeping on! You are such a winner!! Please keep youself and your family in good health. Prayers for all of you! Keep letting your light shine!
@@loriannecobrin7517 I have always had eyes that are a bit hooded. My left eye has gotten much worse than my right eye over time. I have ecwn considered just getting a minor bleph on just that eye. I don't mind having eyes that are a vit hooded, but the difference between mine now is bothering me.
Hi Risa, I am thoroughly enjoying your makeup tutorials, especially the hooded eye and smokey eye shadow looks for hooded eyes. I am a young 60 year old who is having fun experiencing with makeup. Your videos have inspired me to just have fun and experiment with new techniques. I am getting so much positive feedback from my friends and family. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep on going, love what you are doing!!
Thank you so much for this video! I have had lots of eyelid to work with all my life until I turned about 60. I now have NO eyelid and struggle with putting any eyeshadow or liner on my eyes. I just put on under eye concealer (which seems to accentuate creases) do my brows, curl my lashes and don’t look back! I can’t wait to use the techniques you just showed! Thanks again!
Thank you for this video Risa! I am 58 years of age and cannot believe I am this age and don’t know where my life has gone. I never thought I would be worried about ageing but now that I am it is not nice because your make up procedure has to change dramatically and with droopy eyes etc., it is not fun anymore. Thanks for the tips. Wonderful. Janey
I think you've made me realize that I may be using brushes that are too big for my hooded eyes. I'm going to see if I have some smaller one's & if not go buy some. Thank you for the wonderful tips & tricks!
Just found this video and discovered the brushes I use are big for my hooded eyes! I didn't realize how important brushes were when applying eye shadow. Great tips!
I am 32 with aging downturned AND very hooded eyes...i love makeup and tutorials and I just learned more from your video than any ive seen before. I did such a beautiful look with your tutorial this morning and i cant wait to see more!
What a great tutorial for the hooded eye. This is my first time watching you and in one video I have learned so much about eye shadow placement and the importance of the right brush for the right job. Thank you, I am on to your first video about eye shadow for the hooded eye.
I'm new to UA-cam, social media, etc and I CANNOT express how your video hooded downturn aging eye video taught me so much! I would have NEVER known you have the exact same eye situation as me. It was very frustrating trying to make them look 'even'. Thank you very much and wish you well! Sincerely, Your new follower! :)
I loved this video! Finally, application on eyes which are smaller and hooded. And what a huge difference! Initially I thought, here we go, another how to on hooded eyes on a model with big, beautiful eyes to start but when you showed your eyes without makeup, I was blown away! Wow! Your eyes are gorgeous (and the color just pops....crystal blue...beautiful) but you made them gorgeous! And the advice about the brows was spot on. Plus, at 66, my brows are thinning and do not frame my eyes like they used to so any help there is welcomed. Now I need to invest in smaller brushes, which has probably been one of my problems. I subscribed and now I’m going to check out your other videos. ❤️👁
Loved it! I'm just now at 50 figuring out eye shadow! Have never worn it before because I didn't think I had room with my hooded eyes! Have been inspired to buy brushes and a palette and am gonna have some fun with it!
SO helpful! I turned 40 this year and I am so, so grateful to find a beautiful woman who explains things very well & that I can actually do it too and actually use some of my gigantic makeup collection. You're the best Risa!
Risa, You are my nr1 digital makeup artist 🤩 I'm glad you are not a typical UA-camr and that you are thinking of us ladies over 35 + ! I'm so happy that I came over your channel, I have learned so much from you. It's so few Makeup/Skincare artists that takes women over 35+ serious and including us in their world. So I can't thank you enough for your knowledge and experience 💜Huggs from Norway
I realize this is an older video and you probably won’t see this but I have to say this technique makes so much more sense to me. I have never understood the reasoning behind a transition shade. I never used one until I started watching utube videos. I’ve also had more trouble doing my eyeshadow look. I’m going back to this way. I usually tightline (push line) under the upper lashes with eyeshadow. Thanks so much for this video. I have recently subscribed to your channel.
I really wanna thank u for this video cause 2day I did the best makeup on a hooded eyed model!!! This video helped me understand the needs of hooded eyes. You were on point and very understandable.
I would really love a quick 3 min version of this with limited products. I work at least 12hr shifts in a hospital with about an hour drive each way, so my time getting ready in the morning is severely limited. I don’t have time for so many steps, although I know that is how we get the best result. Would love if you filmed this quick video request!
Just found your channel and I am so thankful that I did! I am in my seventies and still love my makeup. I have very hooded eyes with 1 being worse than the other. Have watched many tutorials on hooded eyes and needless to say they didn't work! This is the best that I have ever seen and it works!! THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH!!!
Thank you so much, using small brushes...I have always used large brushes. You definitely are the best utuber that finally explains how to correctly do oily and hooded eyelids. Thank you so much! I can't wait to use...best advice ever!
Love your demos. I couldn't agree more that it's important to try different techniques and check out different makeup gurus for ideas. Your video today taught me so much and I can't wait to try your updated technique on my downturned hooded eyes. Your eyes look beautiful! Thank you so much Risa. Love your channel.
This is the very best hooded / down shaped eye make up tutorial I have ever seen, I've been watching videos for at least 2yrs about this topic and I haven't found such a educational tutorial, I have to THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! It seems I've watched a hundred "hooded eye" tutorials on eyes that weren''t all that hooded. My eyes really turn down naturally (and seemingly getting worse by the minute) I appreciate the tips and recommendations! I can't wait to try them out!
You just are my fav makeup youtuber of all time!! ❤️😭 You are the first person I see that doesn't always do a cateye for hooded eyes. It's just like you said, almond shape looks so weird on my face!! And the rounder is just as stunning as we can see on you
Fabulous tutorial! I especially appreciate the tip on eyebrow shaping. I have made the mistake of trying to create a “wing” with my shadow to create an illusion of “lift” and it really doesn’t work with my low brows. I’ve learned to use crease brushes and liner brushes to apply shadow after realizing that I get too heavy handed with fuller brushes. Thanks!
@@margaretlatocha1474 Experiment and see if it works for you. I have a more droopy left eyelid and brow after a TIA. That eye needs some tweaks to get both eyes to look even. It takes some practice and trial and error. And it’s never perfect, but I think I’m the only person who looks that critically at my face!
@@margaretlatocha1474 OMG, Because of extremely limited range of motion, and loss of manual dexterity in BOTH hands bc of shoulder injuries, mostly the right, I can barely get my hand, brush and shadow up there in the 1st place AT ALL. You must be a very determined person to still, post stroke, be applying eye makeup!! I salute you and will try harder myself, remembering how others like yourself, have even bigger challenges👍🏼☺
Wow. This ideo is the best I've seen in this category. You are the real deal girl! Thank u so much for sharing your techniques for girls like me with hooded or downturned eyes
I am astonished at how lovely my eye makeup turned out after watching a few of your hooded eyes videos. I also have watched videos on the new BK Beauty brushes for older women or those with hooded eyes--the secret being small brushes. So I used only the smallest brushes I had instead of the 'normal' sized ones and the difference in my makeup was incredible. I did order the BK brushes and can't wait for them to arrive. Thank you so much for sharing what you've learned about applying makeup on hooded eyes.
You’re a godsend! Amazing techniques, and so helpful. I’ve been using brushes that are way too big. Idk why I’ve never thought of that. I’ll definitely be trying these techniques. Thank you to the moon and back, gorgeous🍃🌸.
I think part of it is (for me) thinking “but it’s the same kind of brush Whoever uses ... i don’t understand ...” so it takes a while for the ah ha moment.
I have always just used the bare minimum of make up. concealer, face powder, mascara and sometimes liner. I dont even know how to put make up on to look fixed up when i want to dress up. but i just turned 43 and have just been staring in the mirror specifically at my hooded eyes. thank you for this tutorial its simple enough and the tips and tricks you showed are amazing. THANK YOU!
Fantastic video! Love it when I can learn something new as well as being reminded of some good ole tricks and tips. I think this was really well executed and you are a great teacher!
I really liked this video & I tried this technique out this morning, it really made a difference. I am 65 years old & have extremely hooded aging eyes. Thanks again for this tutorial.
Finally someone hwo does makuptutorials i actually can follow. I have hooded eyes with a lot of extra skin and strukture. I Will test this out today. 🍀🙏
Your hooded eye tutorial videos are incredible! I have been rewatching and doing some of the techniques and my eye shadow is finally starting to look better.
Great tutorial! You explained so clearly. I need to buy an eye primer so I can hopefully get better results. Going to practice this technique. Thanks Risa!😘
I have watched and followed so many and for over 2 years I have purchased every brush, pallet etc,etc. I thought oh yes they have hooded eyes too, but what hit me after many failed shadow applications was I also have downturned eyes. Thank you for this, I almost gave my many pallets away, now I have a tutorial that has helped me to understand one who has very similar eyes and they look great, Thank you so much.
I find that, for me, keeping the lower lash line very light it helps keep a lifted look. If I do lower lash line, it is with a really soft blown out lighter shade. Just to give a little weight to the look - finished- without it looking heavy
Agreed! I've been recently placing a soft brown pencil on the lower lash line only half way across and I'm finding that it really opens my eyes up and makes them appear bigger.
Thank you Risa for a wonderful tutorial . I have learned so much from watching this. I have bought a magnifying mirror which I mounted on the wall in my bathroom. As a mature woman I find it fantastic. I have recently begun to use eye makeup again after years of nothing & with the help of your tutorials I am quite pleased with the results, including my husband.😃
Risa thank you. I absolutely have improved my Make up application by going to smaller brushes. I was never super happy with the bigger brushes but the obvious solution eluded me. Thank you!
Of course I remember that video! Love these type of videos from you. You explain and demonstrate so well that we can follow along. Can't wait to try this updated technique. Thinking we need a brush set from Risa as well!
@@RisaDoesMakeup I would love to have all of these to help create this look. I'll try w what I have(i did order Stephanie's, can't wait!) So glad you referenced each one in each step. So helpful!❤
I'm glad you showed using small brushes. I use small ones myself. Everytime I see a UA-cam tutorial, I see the big fluffy brushes used and I think "if I used that, I'd have a big mess!". I have hooded, small lid space eyes as well. I also like using eyeshadow as an eyeliner, especially on the top lid. Great video!
What great tips. I always have a problem with my brushes that are too big for my eyes. Even though I don't have hooded eyes, I'm 53 and with age they have become more droopy. Love these techniques. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video - it was to the point, easy to follow and you explained everything in a way that made sense. Much appreciated. I’m so glad that I have recently found your channel
BEST hooded & small kids technique I have seen. This will work best for me@ just turned 50! I have a lil more lid but my left eye is hooded more (I believe from a car accident 26 yrs ago -neck injury) fibrous nerve damage in muscles has done same muscle atrophy on left side. You’re gorgeous. I love MAC shadows; still have some from 10 yrs ago that are still good. I follow the “top” artist but I really think this video is spot on. Thank you!
Those of us who start our life with hooded eyes, only get more hooded, more covered as we age and that skin gets thinner and looser. (Unless, of course, you get surgery on your lids!) Another very important thing to remember is that not all hooded eyes are hooded in the same way! Some are hooded from inner corner to outer corner (like Risa). Some have have more hooding on the outer corner (like EmilyNoel83), or more hooded on the inner corner (like Dawn from Dawn's Life over 40). So even within the hooded eye community, our hoods are different, and some slight variations can help lift the hooded look!! Thank you, Risa, for taking the time to again share your secrets about helping the hooded and down turned eye look more lifted! Any tips and tricks to add to the arsenal are appreciated!
Mine are more like Nisha's from Sugar Puff and Fluff. But the variety of tips can be helpful, regardless of what type of hooded eye one has. I'm pushing 50 and lost 120 lbs and am only now learning how to use makeup(it's been over twenty-five years)...the first time, I did it like I did when I was young...it looked so bad. These tips saved the day for me. Now I just need to practice more. I'm still not very good at it, but hooded eye tips have been invaluable to me. I like them all.
Very well said!! When I was in my 20's and 30's my hooded eyes looked big and sultry I was told!! Now in my 40's they are much more small and sleepy looking!! Haha but now I can at least apply some makeup to help out the sleepiness!! Lol
I'm so glad that I found this video, I've watched practically every video on UA-cam for eye shadow application on hooded eyes and none of them helped. I've purchased an obscene amount of brushes trying to get the bigger fluffy ones everyone else uses and it turns out I only need small ones (which I have a ton of). I have had trouble with my eye shadow ever since I started doing my makeup like a professional, it just never looked clean or was never visible when my eyes were open normally. Thank you for teaching us what you knew about hooded eyes, it has helped a lot of people, including me!! Hugs!
I get where I've been going wrong now, but no one has ever shown me until now. I'm used to using the fluffy brush to do the crease. I never look good with a crease shade. But using your techniques I can do better. I'm glad to have found your channel! Thank you so much for this! ❤
I'm going to try that creating a fake crease with a small brush to see if it works for my hooded Asian eyes. The area where my bulging eyeballs recede into my browbone is so far up it's nearer to my eyebrows than my actual crease so I'm not sure how it will look. 🤓
Susan, I really think it'll probably work great. My sister, whom is Korean, does something similar to this, now that I've really looked at her photos, and it looks really good.

Risa, I am so happy to have finally found a you tube make up influencer that I can relate to! Thanks to my 24 year old daughter, I have been watching make up bloggers such as Jaclyn Hill and Desi Perkins (just to name a few) for years. And although they are amazing at their crafts, I always found it challenging to achieve their looks on my “mature” skin. This mama is so happy and grateful to have finally found an influencer that I can relate to and in turn relates to the 50 year old me and not the 24 year old me. I can’t stop watching your videos and you’ve taught me so much in the short amount of time that I’ve been watching your channel. Keep doing what you are doing! Thank you so much!
I’m so happy you found my channel! Welcome! ❤️
Finding this was a god send! I'm only 16, but I have incredibly hooded eyes and get mistaken for being Asian constantly. None of the hundreds of tutorials I've watched have been as helpful as yours. Thank you so much!!
At last, I found something incredibly workable that gives a great result! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Beautiful!
Thank you for representing the hood!
I didn't realize my eyelids weren't "standard" until a makeup artist tried putting a dark shadow along my natural crease and had to keep going higher and higher because you couldn't see it at all once I opened my eyes!
Going to try tightlining tomorrow morning :)
I can't tell you how refreshing this video is! YOU are the most real, honest, completly candid makeup expert I've ever seen on this channel. I've tried lid strips with little to no success. I just don't like the feeling of a "bandaid" on my eyelid! You've renewed my confidence in deliberately crafting the hooded/wrinkly lid into a more natural (younger) look!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My hooded eyes are jumping for joy. This is the most helpful video, I believe that because you can relate to us it helps. You are awesome my heart is happy for this video but mostly because you strive to help your viewers. Thank you very much Risa, looking forward to your next video.
Thank you Denise, you are always so kind and supportive. It means to the world to me. ❤️
This is by far the best hooded eye tutorial I've seen. And believe me, I've searched them all! I'm so glad I found you!!
You have a very genuine, positive and up lifting personality! I love the way you give people the options to be themselves regardless of what you or anyone else is doing! Very beautiful 😍
Much needed since after turning 65 I now have hooded eyes! I don't want to have surgery, so your technique is a blessing. Thanks - you look marvelous, darling!
Thank you so much for this video! I've watched so many videos for hooded and/or downturned eyes and been so disappointed. You were so thorough in your explanation and the info about using small brushes is so helpful! Thank you again!
This is an incredible video. I'm 67 and didn't realize anyone addressed this issue. I loved the description, numbers and types of brushes, too. Very informative!
This was the best hooded eye makeup video I’ve seen. I would never guess that you have hooded eyes when I saw your makeup. Fabulous job and I can’t wait to try these tips ☺️
Thank you so much!!! 😃
This is, by far, the best video on applying shadow to hooded eyes I've ever seen! As so many others have commented, watching someone try to show you this type of application on "regular" eyes is basically useless. I always new how to apply my eye makeup until gravity set in and things started to fall! After watching this video, I know I'll feel much more confident with my application. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Ris!!! I've been watching you since that first droopy vid u did and I have to tell u that I've seen such a change in how u present yourself...these days u r more confident, light, engaging, non- defensive and u seem to b genuinely having fun! It's contagious! Love it! You r a great teacher! Keep them coming! And thank u for not forgetting us 40 year old gals!
😃😘😘😘
Michelle DiGioia , I totally agree.
Agree, you used to apologize and defend yourself against the idiots online and now you are just glowing with confidence. Ive really loved so much of your content lately. And I love that you still teach, I love watching tutorials and tips and tricks.❤
You are a jewel! I have watched you for about the last 2-3 years. It's been awhile. The only way that I would stop seeing you would be because you left! Keep on keeping on! You are such a winner!! Please keep youself and your family in good health. Prayers for all of you! Keep letting your light shine!
Finally someone who actually has hooded eyes is giving a tutorial

Here's one for "winged" eyeliner for hooded, downturned and/or aging eyes.
ua-cam.com/video/88frKwGfFos/v-deo.html
Great video !
However, one of my eyes is quite hooded and downturned.
The other lid is normal .
Help!!
@@loriannecobrin7517 Many people are that way --not unusual!! ☺🌠🌈❄
@@loriannecobrin7517 I have always had eyes that are a bit hooded. My left eye has gotten much worse than my right eye over time. I have ecwn considered just getting a minor bleph on just that eye. I don't mind having eyes that are a vit hooded, but the difference between mine now is bothering me.
Hi Risa, I am thoroughly enjoying your makeup tutorials, especially the hooded eye and smokey eye shadow looks for hooded eyes. I am a young 60 year old who is having fun experiencing with makeup. Your videos have inspired me to just
have fun and experiment with new techniques. I am getting so much positive feedback from my friends and family. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep on going, love what you are doing!!
Best hooded eye tutorial I've seen, and she actually has hooded eyes. Easy to follow too. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I have had lots of eyelid to work with all my life until I turned about 60. I now have NO eyelid and struggle with putting any eyeshadow or liner on my eyes. I just put on under eye concealer (which seems to accentuate creases) do my brows, curl my lashes and don’t look back! I can’t wait to use the techniques you just showed! Thanks again!
I just want to say THANK YOU!! IM turning 40 in a few months and have found it so hard to find tutorials for mature skin and hooded eyes! 😍😘
Jamie Fluharty 40 and matured???!!!! Girl u are still young👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you for this video Risa! I am 58 years of age and cannot believe I am this age and don’t know where my life has gone. I never thought I would be worried about ageing but now that I am it is not nice because your make up procedure has to change dramatically and with droopy eyes etc., it is not fun anymore. Thanks for the tips. Wonderful. Janey
I think you've made me realize that I may be using brushes that are too big for my hooded eyes. I'm going to see if I have some smaller one's & if not go buy some. Thank you for the wonderful tips & tricks!
Texas Believer same here.
Me too. I need to look for different brushes. I never realized how important the brushes are. Such great tips!
that's what I was thinking..
Just found this video and discovered the brushes I use are big for my hooded eyes! I didn't realize how important brushes were when applying eye shadow. Great tips!
L June i
I am 32 with aging downturned AND very hooded eyes...i love makeup and tutorials and I just learned more from your video than any ive seen before. I did such a beautiful look with your tutorial this morning and i cant wait to see more!
What a great tutorial for the hooded eye. This is my first time watching you and in one video I have learned so much about eye shadow placement and the importance of the right brush for the right job. Thank you, I am on to your first video about eye shadow for the hooded eye.
I'm new to UA-cam, social media, etc and I CANNOT express how your video hooded downturn aging eye video taught me so much! I would have NEVER known you have the exact same eye situation as me. It was very frustrating trying to make them look 'even'.
Thank you very much and wish you well!
Sincerely,
Your new follower! :)
I loved this video! Finally, application on eyes which are smaller and hooded. And what a huge difference! Initially I thought, here we go, another how to on hooded eyes on a model with big, beautiful eyes to start but when you showed your eyes without makeup, I was blown away! Wow! Your eyes are gorgeous (and the color just pops....crystal blue...beautiful) but you made them gorgeous! And the advice about the brows was spot on. Plus, at 66, my brows are thinning and do not frame my eyes like they used to so any help there is welcomed. Now I need to invest in smaller brushes, which has probably been one of my problems. I subscribed and now I’m going to check out your other videos. ❤️👁
Loved it! I'm just now at 50 figuring out eye shadow! Have never worn it before because I didn't think I had room with my hooded eyes! Have been inspired to buy brushes and a palette and am gonna have some fun with it!
SO helpful! I turned 40 this year and I am so, so grateful to find a beautiful woman who explains things very well & that I can actually do it too and actually use some of my gigantic makeup collection. You're the best Risa!
Risa, You are my nr1 digital makeup artist 🤩 I'm glad you are not a typical UA-camr and that you are thinking of us ladies over 35 + ! I'm so happy that I came over your channel, I have learned so much from you. It's so few Makeup/Skincare artists that takes women over 35+ serious and including us in their world. So I can't thank you enough for your knowledge and experience 💜Huggs from Norway
I loved it....sensational...the best technique for really hooded eyes I"ve ever seen.
I can’t believe how different your eyes looks!! I’m 63 and I’m going to try this technique because my 45th high school reunion is next weekend!!
This was the video that made me subscribe!!! You truly have a gift and I thank you because this was a game changer for me
Your video for hooded and downturned eyes completely changed my makeup game!! I get so many compliments on the look 😊
I have horribly hooded eyes and CANNOT figure out how to do eyeshadow. Glad you made this video.
Practice and experiment! You will continue to get better and better. 😃
That Wendy Girl I’m sure you are a beautiful woman !
That Wendy Girl )
I realize this is an older video and you probably won’t see this but I have to say this technique makes so much more sense to me. I have never understood the reasoning behind a transition shade. I never used one until I started watching utube videos. I’ve also had more trouble doing my eyeshadow look. I’m going back to this way. I usually tightline (push line) under the upper lashes with eyeshadow.
Thanks so much for this video. I have recently subscribed to your channel.
I’m my 70’s and eyes are getting more hooded daily and love the tips my friend 😉
I really wanna thank u for this video cause 2day I did the best makeup on a hooded eyed model!!! This video helped me understand the needs of hooded eyes. You were on point and very understandable.
I would really love a quick 3 min version of this with limited products. I work at least 12hr shifts in a hospital with about an hour drive each way, so my time getting ready in the morning is severely limited. I don’t have time for so many steps, although I know that is how we get the best result. Would love if you filmed this quick video request!
You are the first makeup UA-camr that has the same eye shape and down turn like myself!!! Thank you!!!
So GORGEOUS!!! You are my new beauty guru!!! I love your trick of smaller brushes. Definitely helped me out. Thank you 🙏🏻
Just found your channel and I am so thankful that I did! I am in my seventies and still love my makeup. I have very hooded eyes with 1 being worse than the other. Have watched many tutorials on hooded eyes and needless to say they didn't work! This is the best that I have ever seen and it works!! THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH!!!
Rosa you look younger without makeup ❣️❤️ You’re makeup just enhances your beauty.
Thank you so much, using small brushes...I have always used large brushes. You definitely are the best utuber that finally explains how to correctly do oily and hooded eyelids. Thank you so much! I can't wait to use...best advice ever!
Love your demos. I couldn't agree more that it's important to try different techniques and check out different makeup gurus for ideas. Your video today taught me so much and I can't wait to try your updated technique on my downturned hooded eyes. Your eyes look beautiful! Thank you so much Risa. Love your channel.
This is the very best hooded / down shaped eye make up tutorial I have ever seen, I've been watching videos for at least 2yrs about this topic and I haven't found such a educational tutorial, I have to THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Aw!!! Thank you so much Pam! Comments like this make my day. 😃
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! It seems I've watched a hundred "hooded eye" tutorials on eyes that weren''t all that hooded. My eyes really turn down naturally (and seemingly getting worse by the minute) I appreciate the tips and recommendations! I can't wait to try them out!
You just are my fav makeup youtuber of all time!! ❤️😭 You are the first person I see that doesn't always do a cateye for hooded eyes. It's just like you said, almond shape looks so weird on my face!! And the rounder is just as stunning as we can see on you
Fabulous tutorial! I especially appreciate the tip on eyebrow shaping. I have made the mistake of trying to create a “wing” with my shadow to create an illusion of “lift” and it really doesn’t work with my low brows. I’ve learned to use crease brushes and liner brushes to apply shadow after realizing that I get too heavy handed with fuller brushes. Thanks!
I have a stroke eye , will this technique be good for that
@@margaretlatocha1474 Experiment and see if it works for you. I have a more droopy left eyelid and brow after a TIA. That eye needs some tweaks to get both eyes to look even. It takes some practice and trial and error. And it’s never perfect, but I think I’m the only person who looks that critically at my face!
@@margaretlatocha1474 OMG, Because of extremely limited range of motion, and loss of manual dexterity in BOTH hands bc of shoulder injuries, mostly the right, I can barely get my hand, brush and shadow up there in the 1st place AT ALL. You must be a very determined person to still, post stroke, be applying eye makeup!! I salute you and will try harder myself, remembering how others like yourself, have even bigger challenges👍🏼☺
Wow. This ideo is the best I've seen in this category. You are the real deal girl! Thank u so much for sharing your techniques for girls like me with hooded or downturned eyes
I love it! I struggle with perfecting my technique on my deep-set, turned down eyes as well. The brow tip in this is fantastic too! Thank you, Risa!
I am astonished at how lovely my eye makeup turned out after watching a few of your hooded eyes videos. I also have watched videos on the new BK Beauty brushes for older women or those with hooded eyes--the secret being small brushes. So I used only the smallest brushes I had instead of the 'normal' sized ones and the difference in my makeup was incredible. I did order the BK brushes and can't wait for them to arrive. Thank you so much for sharing what you've learned about applying makeup on hooded eyes.
You’re a godsend! Amazing techniques, and so helpful. I’ve been using brushes that are way too big. Idk why I’ve never thought of that. I’ll definitely be trying these techniques.
Thank you to the moon and back, gorgeous🍃🌸.
I think part of it is (for me) thinking “but it’s the same kind of brush Whoever uses ... i don’t understand ...” so it takes a while for the ah ha moment.
Makes sense .
I have always just used the bare minimum of make up. concealer, face powder, mascara and sometimes liner. I dont even know how to put make up on to look fixed up when i want to dress up. but i just turned 43 and have just been staring in the mirror specifically at my hooded eyes. thank you for this tutorial its simple enough and the tips and tricks you showed are amazing. THANK YOU!
Fantastic video! Love it when I can learn something new as well as being reminded of some good ole tricks and tips. I think this was really well executed and you are a great teacher!
Thank you so much Tanya! ❤️

I really liked this video & I tried this technique out this morning, it really made a difference. I am 65 years old & have extremely hooded aging eyes. Thanks again for this tutorial.
Wow! I think I'm using too-big brushes... You were able to be very precise!
Thank you so much! I'm 62 and need a lot of help with saggy eyes. This really helped hopefully I can make it work for me! 😊
Finally someone hwo does makuptutorials i actually can follow. I have hooded eyes with a lot of extra skin and strukture. I Will test this out today. 🍀🙏
Your hooded eye tutorial videos are incredible! I have been rewatching and doing some of the techniques and my eye shadow is finally starting to look better.
Great tutorial! You explained so clearly. I need to buy an eye primer so I can hopefully get better results. Going to practice this technique. Thanks Risa!😘
I have watched and followed so many and for over 2 years I have purchased every brush, pallet etc,etc. I thought oh yes they have hooded eyes too, but what hit me after many failed shadow applications was I also have downturned eyes. Thank you for this, I almost gave my many pallets away, now I have a tutorial that has helped me to understand one who has very similar eyes and they look great, Thank you so much.
I find that, for me, keeping the lower lash line very light it helps keep a lifted look. If I do lower lash line, it is with a really soft blown out lighter shade. Just to give a little weight to the look - finished- without it looking heavy
Agreed! I've been recently placing a soft brown pencil on the lower lash line only half way across and I'm finding that it really opens my eyes up and makes them appear bigger.
Shading below mine drags my eyes down too
Thank you Risa for a wonderful tutorial . I have learned so much from watching this. I have bought a magnifying mirror which I mounted on the wall in my bathroom. As a mature woman I find it fantastic. I have recently begun to use eye makeup again after years of nothing & with the help of your tutorials I am quite pleased with the results, including my husband.😃
Always straight on the point.. I appreciate that there will always be something special to learn .. the very best .. love and admire you
Risa thank you. I absolutely have improved my Make up application by going to smaller brushes. I was never super happy with the bigger brushes but the obvious solution eluded me. Thank you!
Of course I remember that video! Love these type of videos from you. You explain and demonstrate so well that we can follow along. Can't wait to try this updated technique. Thinking we need a brush set from Risa as well!
Aw thanks Tory! One of the brushes I used in Stephanie’s set. Not many people use the E47 but I can’t live without it!
@@RisaDoesMakeup I would love to have all of these to help create this look. I'll try w what I have(i did order Stephanie's, can't wait!) So glad you referenced each one in each step. So helpful!❤
What a great technique for hooded eyes! We love it!
Thank you so much for this video!! As a “young” 50 something, my eyes have become hooded and turned down in the last few years.
I'm glad you showed using small brushes. I use small ones myself. Everytime I see a UA-cam tutorial, I see the big fluffy brushes used and I think "if I used that, I'd have a big mess!". I have hooded, small lid space eyes as well. I also like using eyeshadow as an eyeliner, especially on the top lid. Great video!
Amazing update Risa!!!! You are so talented and genuine, I love watching your videos.
Thank you Melanie! 😃
What great tips. I always have a problem with my brushes that are too big for my eyes. Even though I don't have hooded eyes, I'm 53 and with age they have become more droopy. Love these techniques. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video - it was to the point, easy to follow and you explained everything in a way that made sense. Much appreciated. I’m so glad that I have recently found your channel
BEST hooded & small kids technique I have seen. This will work best for me@ just turned 50! I have a lil more lid but my left eye is hooded more (I believe from a car accident 26 yrs ago -neck injury) fibrous nerve damage in muscles has done same muscle atrophy on left side.
You’re gorgeous. I love MAC shadows; still have some from 10 yrs ago that are still good. I follow the “top” artist but I really think this video is spot on. Thank you!
Those of us who start our life with hooded eyes, only get more hooded, more covered as we age and that skin gets thinner and looser. (Unless, of course, you get surgery on your lids!)
Another very important thing to remember is that not all hooded eyes are hooded in the same way! Some are hooded from inner corner to outer corner (like Risa). Some have have more hooding on the outer corner (like EmilyNoel83), or more hooded on the inner corner (like Dawn from Dawn's Life over 40).
So even within the hooded eye community, our hoods are different, and some slight variations can help lift the hooded look!!
Thank you, Risa, for taking the time to again share your secrets about helping the hooded and down turned eye look more lifted! Any tips and tricks to add to the arsenal are appreciated!
I love that you pointed out which youtubers have which kind of hooded eyes! Thank you! I always come back to Risa, her eyes are most like mine! :)
Mine are more like Nisha's from Sugar Puff and Fluff. But the variety of tips can be helpful, regardless of what type of hooded eye one has. I'm pushing 50 and lost 120 lbs and am only now learning how to use makeup(it's been over twenty-five years)...the first time, I did it like I did when I was young...it looked so bad. These tips saved the day for me. Now I just need to practice more. I'm still not very good at it, but hooded eye tips have been invaluable to me. I like them all.
@@nofiltertina3821 yeah, that was actually awesome. It really helped put all the imagery in my head.
Very well said!! When I was in my 20's and 30's my hooded eyes looked big and sultry I was told!! Now in my 40's they are much more small and sleepy looking!! Haha but now I can at least apply some makeup to help out the sleepiness!! Lol
"...…………….. and looser (unless, of course, you get surgery on your lids!)."
This video changed my life!!!! Seriously been struggling for years! You're my hero!!
I'm so glad that I found this video, I've watched practically every video on UA-cam for eye shadow application on hooded eyes and none of them helped. I've purchased an obscene amount of brushes trying to get the bigger fluffy ones everyone else uses and it turns out I only need small ones (which I have a ton of). I have had trouble with my eye shadow ever since I started doing my makeup like a professional, it just never looked clean or was never visible when my eyes were open normally. Thank you for teaching us what you knew about hooded eyes, it has helped a lot of people, including me!! Hugs!
I'm so glad to find someone do a hooded eye video who actually HAS hooded eyes..1st video of yours I've watched and I'm totally hooked !!!
I'm almost 40 (😟 - still cant believe it) & when I see you I only hope to look half as good as you as I get older.. U r Beautiful! ❤
I get where I've been going wrong now, but no one has ever shown me until now. I'm used to using the fluffy brush to do the crease. I never look good with a crease shade. But using your techniques I can do better. I'm glad to have found your channel! Thank you so much for this! ❤
I'm going to try that creating a fake crease with a small brush to see if it works for my hooded Asian eyes. The area where my bulging eyeballs recede into my browbone is so far up it's nearer to my eyebrows than my actual crease so I'm not sure how it will look. 🤓
Susan, I really think it'll probably work great. My sister, whom is Korean, does something similar to this, now that I've really looked at her photos, and it looks really good.
