Your videos are very helpful. My post was out of concern for you & not to criticize. I used to have blink reactions whenever I wore certain products. I discovered that I needed to stay with hypoallergenic products to help me avoid the blinking issue. I also learned that it was better for me to stay with less powdery products directly around my eyes. Non flaking mascara also became a must. Thank you for how detailed your posts are for those of us who like to see all the details.
I've been using this technique for years. It works, my co workers used to think I wore false eyelashes. I have never wore fake eyelashes. I dont draw on my brows, I just tweeze and shape. Also I dont spend a fortune on eye liners or mascara. Its how you use it, not how much it cost.
Thanks for the reminder. I am a former make-up artist. My dept. manager shared this concept with me, 15 years ago! You just encouraged me, in an awesome way! Its amazing, & brilliant. thank You! xoxoxo
Hi, I'm 75 and have hooded eyes. So yaaaa and yes, I am going to try this. I've been doing something similar, but have been lining on the water line, but haven't been successful on the lash line. But you have encouraged me to try again. So, thank you dear. God bless. Great job.:) Blessings, Joan
Myself being a teenager in the 80's...I've done a huge number of these makeup techniques for the last 35 years. I'm glad you all have found them and tried them.....shows me that things do last forever!!! The products now available are superior to back then but the application is the same!!! Love it
This works so well! I have hooded, saggy-ish eyes at almost 60 and have always struggled with how to get a lifted look by looking straight in the mirror. This suggestion is so foolproof, once I figured out how long I have to make the line so it shows through (it’s a lot longer than I thought I would need, haha) it looks great. Once I use a smudger on the line it really makes my eye look lifted. Thanks so much! Oh. Also, I’ve seen Lisa Eldridge use shadow (but not this technique) for a subtle lifted eye (Dinner Date Makeup video) and I could never figure out how to achieve it. This technique will be perfect for that!
I discovered tightlining about ten or so years ago from an old issue of Allure. When I realized my lashes were getting sparse I stopped using crayon or pencils and reserved waterproof gel or liquid formulas for very occasional use. I also found that a tapered tip brush is best and the smaller the eye the smaller the brush in order to avoid smudging the liner onto the eyelid. Lastly, please get a swivel mirror with strong high quality magnification and adjust the mirror so you don't constantly wrinkle your forehead.
Thank you for this video. I've been tightlining my hooded eyes since I saw the technique from Wayne Goss, but how you added that flick is ingenious! I will definitely try this tomorrow. Thank you also for mentioning one of the problems that can occur with putting liner or shadow on your waterline, especially the upper. Not only can it cause dryness, but it can also lead to infections and such when either the dryness causes damage and allows bacteria in or the products themselves can deliver bacteria to your important mucous membranes. Eyesight is so much more important than fashion.

Hi Stephanie Marie: Thank you for your reply to my comment further down. Here's my "finding the humor in everyday life" story, and it's a true story and still cracks me up even now. I've never been much for wearing eye makeup. I was fine with the "natural" look, and in fact, I just didn't really pay attention to my face or any changes happening as I got older. I wear light makeup, the same as when I was a teenager (yes, I know I'm supposed to change as I get older, but never have). Anyway, so light makeup to even out my skin tones, a bit of mascara, and either lip gloss or a bit of lipstick on occasion. Enter my late 50's, early 60's, I'm watching UA-cam videos on makeup for older women, and I decided I would go and buy some eyeliner!! I brought it home and was determined to learn how to use it to enhance an older face with dignity and on my first attempt, I was stopped cold in my tracks...my eyelid had sagged down and covered the exact area where I was about to apply eyeliner, right above my upper lashes. No, I didn't start crying at this revelation. I busted out laughing so hard, good thing I was in the bathroom close to the toilet should I need it right quick. LOL I thought to myself, "Well, you waited too long to use eyeliner now didn't you, so now what?" Hmm, maybe it works to fill in eyebrows or to touch up the grey hair at my temples? haha I never did that, but I think I still have it at the back of the drawer gathering dust. Maybe I'll use it to write an S.O.S. message on the mirror in case of an emergency. So much for learning how to wear makeup as a senior. Now in all seriousness, I do realize that I could probably do something with a little bit of eye shadow and mascara but I don't know that I can actually utilize that eyeliner pencil. Thank you. : )
I tried this technique for the past 2 days and it works so well! I can't believe the difference it has made in my eye look. And I was able to get a slight winged look. Thank you Stephanie!!
I love the L’Oréal Smoldering Liner... Brown... it’s waterproof, soft and it stays in place! The price is great too! I always tightline and I do the flick, I’ll have to pay attention to see if I can do this! Thanks Steph!
Does the L'oreal REALLY not smudge, smear or end up UNDER THE EYES?? I have been doing this for probably almost 20 years (I worked in Hi end cosmetics most of my life) and ESPECIALLY WAY back then, there were NO liners that stayed or were waterproof. I used liquids to waterproof but some of them were really irritating! I have tried "waterproof" liners and STILL end up with that "shadow" of the smudged liner UNDER MY EYES!! SO maddening, to look like a racoon after you take so much care! I will give the Smoldering liner a TRY!! I haven't used it yet! thanks for the tip!!
Cher Silveira the liquid Esteé Lauder is very waterproof and does not smudge. I really like it because on one end, it has a fine tip and on the other end it has a wide tip. Try it, I think you’ll like it! It’s around $20 but lasts for several months. If you try it, comment back to tell me if it works well for you 😊
I am definitely going to try this. Am dealing with wait for it, mature hooded eyes. Ugh, but your explanation makes this more doable. I have worn make up for about 40 years and I still need help! Thanks!
Update. I have been using this method and it really has improved my appearance. Those hooded eyes are less noticeable and I didn't need surgery right away. 😘😘
Yes ma'am, I always do it this way because of my hooded type of aging eye and let's face it, the Instagram baddie winged liner is hideous on us 50 yr olds! I never seen anyone else use this technique and so I am thrilled to see you offering it up!
Yes! I've been doing this too! I use gel liner in the pot with a fine, angled brush and use the same technique even with the tiny wing. It looks better on you though!
Stephanie, I can’t believe how I stumbled on your video. I had given up on eyeliner a long time ago. I’m older and besides I could never get the line to look like the other. Also, for my age it looked harsh. This technique is fantastic! It frames the eye so nicely without you looking like you are trying to hard. I can’t wait to share this with my daughter!!!
Way to simplify things! Everyone makes it look like a long, drawn-out process but I love that you’ve shown it to be easy. Thanks so much... also for the Vogue link too.
I had Hifu on my hooded eyelids I believe it was around $300 it made a huge difference... not straight away but over the following 2 to 3 months I noticed my lids were not dragging my eyelashes. It’s pretty cool.
I have been doing this technique for 30 years. I worked formerly on camera and always found this to be an eye-opener. Regardless it works and you look great !
That's awesome! I've been tightlining and flicking for years like other people have but I've never flicked while holding up the lashline. I haven't seen it in any video or from any other MUA either until that Vogue video. It's really a great technique!
I love that you passed this on! It’s a great way to give ur eyes a little pop to them. I have been doing this for years, I wear false eyelashes & have hooded eyes, so I luv the look this gives me. Great video!
Wow thanks for this. My eyes are very deep set with very hooded lids and this works! I didn’t expect it to because nothing I’ve seen and tried so far ever has. And SO easy.
What an ingenious idea! I'm definitely trying this tomorrow. It's nice to know that it doesn't involve the waterline. Too uncomfortable, and way too drying. Thanks, Stephanie❣❣❤
I do this technique too! But I learned it from Wayne Goes. It's been about a year. I love doing it this way too! Thank you for sharing this! You are amazing!!
@@StephanieMarie just rewatched his and you do go more in depth than he does and your demonstration is everything!! Love Wayne, but I like your video more! ( Ssshhhh! 😏) Lol. He also only shows the one way, not 2 like you shown ❤
LOL! Thanks so much! I know he shows the tightline...it's an old old technique. But I haven't seen him show the flick with the lid lifted. That's my main thing here which blew my mind! Either way I'm so glad you like it!!
I just followed this and it is made the huge difference on my hooded eyes... I cannot thank you enough for this tip!!!!! I love everything you do and share with us❤🙋♀️
Mind blown, that is genius! My eye creases cover where most people would do a cat eye or flick out their eyeliner, more so on my right eye than my left eye, so this is a game changer for getting my eyes to look even! 👀🤯
*Wayne Goss has been doing this technique for years, he's got many great videos on hooded eye s and techniques you can use for eye makeup. In fact, it seems most of his tutorials are geared towards mature women s makeup needs.* 🥰
I tried this before when Wayne Goss showed it a few years ago but I forgot all about it. He showed the flat eyeliner brush technique but without the wing. You have me excited to do my eyeliner again. Thank you 💕
Tightlining isn't new, it's the flick part that's different with holding the lid up. I also have a video with an eye lift without a wing in my Challenging eyes playlist that you may enjoy! :)
You are talking to me!!! Hooded eyes from aging of course. I will be watching all your “eye” videos! I don’t wear a wing due to down turned eyes. You bet I’m gonna try this new trick. My eyes are so sensitive and being blind in my right eye no telling where I’d put it lol. Thanks for all the tips!!! 😘😘😘🌹🌹🌹🌹💕💕💕💕💕
Good morning Stephanie! I have very little movable lid space with hooded eyes. I’ve been using this technique for awhile and I think it was Risa who had this tutorial. I bought the Sigma liner because using smaller brushes help so much! I do use the angled brush and it’s so easy! Yes for more videos on challenging eyes! I think at 61, it is a bit more challenging with hooded eyes. I’m going to adopt that flick! Thank you for addressing this issue. Have a wonderful week ahead and stay cool in New Orleans. It’s even warm here in Seattle! 😘🌞🔆
I've talked to Risa about it and I don't think she's done a video where she flicks while she lifts the lid? We talked a couple of days ago? I have a playlist on challenging eyes and I've showed a flick while not lifting the eyes but not while lifting. Tightlining has been around forever and is awesome! The flick is what I wanted to show you guys! I hope it works for you! It's BRUTALLY hot here right now! I might melt! LOL!
Stephanie, you’re right about the flick. I learned that from you, thank goodness. What a great trick! I follow your channel faithfully and learn so much about skincare and makeup. See, you can teach an old dog new tricks! 😂. I’m just kidding but I always come away with having learned something beneficial! Have a great week ahead and please don’t melt! I love New Orleans but have visited only in the winter. I grew up in Florida, but have lived on the west coast for decades. I’m such a wimp that when the thermometer hits above 80, the A/C comes on. Stay cool and don’t let that beautiful face wither! 😘. Added: the playlist is perfect. Thank you so much!! I’ve pinned this post for future reference!
OmG it works! I’ve been trying to wing my liner , literally, for decades without it making my eyes look smaller or closed in & this works! Woohoo! Thank you Stephanie!
I started doing this in my early 30s. I don't ever pull my eye out. But after a while you you get use to it like the lower lid. I also find that the Revlon waterproof eyeliner is softer and last longer. They also have came out with some nice metallic color this fall as well. Any of the softer pencils work much better and especially if you can get the long wearing or waterproof.
Eyeliner on the waterline not only drying. But it always gives the illusion of a smaller eye. I like to use a white or even skin toned eyeliner to apply in my waterline. As it gives the illusion of a more wide eyed, awakened look.
Have seen Wayne Goss’s videos doing the push liner with a flat brush but he doesn’t do the flick at the end. Excited to try the flick at the end because I’m not good at making a wing. Thanks for sharing!! 😊💙💙
Ok, so when I first watched this video, I thought it was silly, because I couldn’t really see the difference it made on you. But I did it this morning, and... wow! I think the key is a softer pencil as you mentioned, and I live by the L’Oreal Infallible eyeliner pencils. They are soft in application, but strong in pigment and staying power.
You know i sub'd to your channel bc of the "difficult eye series" and basicly you do this alreay just a bit different. I swear your tips for a small flick have helped huge. I have to tell you that your technique is the easiest out there on UA-cam!
Great tutorial... I have to practice lining closer to the lash line instead of applying liner to upper waterline... I struggle with hooded downturned eyes & notice my current application ends up smearing ...💕💕💋
I've never seen this technique either! Tight lining, yes but not the little flick at the end. I'm going to try that tomorrow morning. Thank you so much.
@@kimberbites yes I usually clean up w a qtip dipped in some foundation. Im just wondering if it will be black enough using powder shadow. I have olive/tan skin and black hair/brows... so if the eye makeup isnt very dark grey or pure black ... my eye makeup isnt noticeable at all 🙄
I had difficulty seeing any differences or improvements, especially when it’s not being demonstrated on someone who actually has hooded eyelids, but it’s nice to know that it isn’t difficult nor time-consuming. Perhaps I’ll give it a try and see if it makes a difference to my hooded eyelids. Thank you.
Hi! Just like there are different degrees of lip fullness, body weight, etc., there are different degrees of hooded eyes. Not everyone that's hooded has a completely invisible lid. I am moderately hooded to where my crease drops below the corner of my eye and cuts through where my eyeliner extends. I cannot do a winged liner without adjustments. One eye is also more hooded than another which is another struggle. You may be more hooded than I am, but it doesn't mean I don't have eyeliner struggles and don't have a degree of hooded eye as well. I hope it works for you. Have a lovely day.
I felt there was maybe a fraction of a second jump between before and after doing the deed. It would have been good if there had been away to do that part in very slow motion
THANK YOU! I am 37 yrs old and NEVER could get eyeliner to look good, so I just never wore it. I tried this technique and for the first time in my life my freakin eyeliner looks AMAZING. Thank u so much.
I'm surprised you've never seen this before, I've been doing this from 1978 on , but yes it's a great way for liner. Thanks for sharing for those who haven't seen this. Have a blessed day
I’m so glad you did this video. We all find what we need at different times so things are worth repeating. Others here have seen it before but since I don’t usually watch make up videos I wasn’t aware of this technique and my eyes have become downturned. I don’t wear any eye makeup other than mascara so I’m hoping that this is gonna be the deal changer I need to feel pretty again.
I'm so glad it helped! I know others (and myself) were familiar with the tightlining technique but some may not have been so I wanted to show it. The way of flicking is new to many people...I thought it was cool! Thank you!
Stephanie Marie I may have somewhat of a peculiar problem doing this technique. I have very dense thick lashes so there’s no room for tightlining in there! My only option seems to be to apply kohl or dark shadow above my lash line as close to my lashes as posible. I was aware that applying eyeliner a bit thickly to the outer half of my eye improved their shape a lot but I felt too made up for daily wear so only did it on special occasions. But thanks to your video I may just do it daily and just wear nude lips to keep it looking as natural as possible for daily wear! Why just look prettier 3 times a year?! Thank you!
Omg .Stephanie I just did this trick, thank you, thank you ,thank you 🙏 I hope your doing okay after the last hurricane. Sending prayers your way. I hope you didn’t loose power
Thank you so much! I’ll try this. My favorite pencil eyeliners are from Mally. They glide on so easily and stay on. I’m really sensitive on my eye area with pencils so thank you for the other recommendations.
I So needed this video this morning, I’m trying my hardest to get that little wing happening, hopefully now I’ll give it another go tomorrow morning, I was at my vanity mirror for about an hour trying to get it right Lol 😂, Lucky for me I wasn’t going out anywhere, just playing with makeup 💄...Who Else does that.... Much Love from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️💖💖💖
Thank you, Im 59 and have hooded eyes, Im forever trying to get the flick on the end done correctly, I finally gave up. Your beautiful and Im a subscriber and not just “liked” you short video but loved it!
OMG this is how I do it all the time since I give up using the ink liner & always failed doing wing lining plus it doesn’t look good on my small Asian eyes 🙄 ever since I use this technique, I save much more time doing my eyes 😆 Thanks, Stephanie..
I love this technique! I’ve discovered it a few months ago in 58 and it has totally made a huge difference and my eyes look so much better thanks for spreading this gem of a technique 😍
Think I've seen Wayne Goss do this and Risa Does Makeup did something similar with the wing/flick, but I still love your video. The more ppl with different shape eye you can watch do it the more helpful it is.
Yes, you’re right and I’ve been doing it since I saw Wayne Goss, but I don’t remember if he describes the flick at the end and it looks great on you. I’ll add it from now on. Thanks
This is genius Stephanie!😎 I’m a huge believer in the subtle power of a quick tight line and a baby wing and this looks like a quick way to do that! Thanks for sharing!!😁❤️
I actually have seen & used this technique. We used to do what we called “underlining” back in the 60’s 66/67/68-ish. I was in 7th grade & my BFF’s cool teenage sister taught us at a sleepover how to do it. We used a soft Maybelline eyebrow/eyeliner pencil & lined the underside of our top eyelashes & the top edge of our bottom lashes & also did the little cleopatra flick on our top lid like you did. Some time during high school it fell out of vogue as did beehives & updoo’s for a more “natural” hippie type look so it fell by the wayside. About a year or two ago, I saw someone doing the underlining again & never having been good at regular eyelining, I gave it a try & it was as easy as it was when I was a girl. I’ve been doing it ever since. I suppose the old adage is true .... “Everything old is new again”!
I have always (since getting older, that is) used eyeshadow to line my eyes. The only difference is I spritz setting spray in a glass bowl and dip the tip of my brush so it stays longer. Also I warm my eyelash curlers with a blow dryer before immediately applying mascara. It's like a curling iron for lashes. Sometimes I can even skip mascara because it's a soft natural look.
I’ve been doing something similar to the shadow technique for a while now. I’m just so bad with liner, and find shadow easier. I use an angled or flat brush and just sort of stamp in a dark shadow. I’ll have to try incorporating the flick next time. Very informative, Steph!! xo
I’ve watched a lot of videos about hooded eyes and by far this is the best! You made it so easy to follow, looks amazing, I finally got it :) thank you!
Love this! Yes, seen something similar from Hot n Flashy, she called it "The Blob" effect about a year ago! It's great technique ! Elle Leary did a remake a year ago
First time I see a tutorial on this. I've been using this technique for many years, I've got droopy eyes and this helps lift them. Thanks for sharing this with us you explained it wonderfully 🌸😊

Hmm, maybe it works to fill in eyebrows or to touch up the grey hair at my temples? haha I never did that, but I think I still have it at the back of the drawer gathering dust. Maybe I'll use it to write an S.O.S. message on the mirror in case of an emergency. So much for learning how to wear makeup as a senior. Now in all seriousness, I do realize that I could probably do something with a little bit of eye shadow and mascara but I don't know that I can actually utilize that eyeliner pencil. Thank you. : )
I tried this technique for the past 2 days and it works so well! I can't believe the difference it has made in my eye look. And I was able to get a slight winged look. Thank you Stephanie!!
I love the L’Oréal Smoldering Liner... Brown... it’s waterproof, soft and it stays in place! The price is great too! I always tightline and I do the flick, I’ll have to pay attention to see if I can do this! Thanks Steph!
Does the L'oreal REALLY not smudge, smear or end up UNDER THE EYES?? I have been doing this for probably almost 20 years (I worked in Hi end cosmetics most of my life) and ESPECIALLY WAY back then, there were NO liners that stayed or were waterproof. I used liquids to waterproof but some of them were really irritating! I have tried "waterproof" liners and STILL end up with that "shadow" of the smudged liner UNDER MY EYES!! SO maddening, to look like a racoon after you take so much care! I will give the Smoldering liner a TRY!! I haven't used it yet! thanks for the tip!!
Cher Silveira I have never had an issue with the L’Oréal! I use it everyday!! I use the Brown! Holy Grail!! Affordable too!
Cher Silveira the liquid Esteé Lauder is very waterproof and does not smudge. I really like it because on one end, it has a fine tip and on the other end it has a wide tip. Try it, I think you’ll like it! It’s around $20 but lasts for several months. If you try it, comment back to tell me if it works well for you 😊
JustJanet I’m going to try that also. Thanks for the info! I really like L’ORÉAL!
I am definitely going to try this. Am dealing with wait for it, mature hooded eyes. Ugh, but your explanation makes this more doable. I have worn make up for about 40 years and I still need help! Thanks!
Update. I have been using this method and it really has improved my appearance. Those hooded eyes are less noticeable and I didn't need surgery right away. 😘😘
Yes ma'am, I always do it this way because of my hooded type of aging eye and let's face it, the Instagram baddie winged liner is hideous on us 50 yr olds! I never seen anyone else use this technique and so I am thrilled to see you offering it up!
Noo if you do it subtly, as in video, I think it enhances older womens eyes and I'm a young 65!
Speak for yourself about looking "hideous' . To each his own.
Yes! I've been doing this too! I use gel liner in the pot with a fine, angled brush and use the same technique even with the tiny wing. It looks better on you though!
Stephanie, I can’t believe how I stumbled on your video. I had given up on eyeliner a long time ago. I’m older and besides I could never get the line to look like the other. Also, for my age it looked harsh. This technique is fantastic! It frames the eye so nicely without you looking like you are trying to hard. I can’t wait to share this with my daughter!!!
Way to simplify things! Everyone makes it look like a long, drawn-out process but I love that you’ve shown it to be easy. Thanks so much... also for the Vogue link too.
Thank you so much! 💗
Both eyes look beautiful. I noticed that your left eye looks bigger and brighter in this video. Great job. Thank you for sharing❣
I actually have one hooded eye and one normal eye. I'm just trying to find tricks to make them look more alike.
I have botox above the eyebrow which lifts the hooded lid.
My biggest problem too !!
Mascara on the top is all that I can do.
Help !!!
Same
I had Hifu on my hooded eyelids I believe it was around $300 it made a huge difference... not straight away but over the following 2 to 3 months I noticed my lids were not dragging my eyelashes. It’s pretty cool.
Me as well, and my mum did and my one grandson does as well.
I have been doing this technique for 30 years. I worked formerly on camera and always found this to be an eye-opener. Regardless it works and you look great !
That's awesome! I've been tightlining and flicking for years like other people have but I've never flicked while holding up the lashline. I haven't seen it in any video or from any other MUA either until that Vogue video. It's really a great technique!
I love that you passed this on! It’s a great way to give ur eyes a little pop to them. I have been doing this for years, I wear false eyelashes & have hooded eyes, so I luv the look this gives me. Great video!
Wow thanks for this. My eyes are very deep set with very hooded lids and this works! I didn’t expect it to because nothing I’ve seen and tried so far ever has. And SO easy.
What an ingenious idea! I'm definitely trying this tomorrow. It's nice to know that it doesn't involve the waterline. Too uncomfortable, and way too drying.
Thanks, Stephanie❣❣❤
I do this technique too! But I learned it from Wayne Goes. It's been about a year. I love doing it this way too! Thank you for sharing this! You are amazing!!
Ahhh! I haven’t seen his or I would have given him a shout out! Like he needs it from me! 😆😘
@@StephanieMarie just rewatched his and you do go more in depth than he does and your demonstration is everything!! Love Wayne, but I like your video more! ( Ssshhhh! 😏) Lol. He also only shows the one way, not 2 like you shown ❤
LOL! Thanks so much! I know he shows the tightline...it's an old old technique. But I haven't seen him show the flick with the lid lifted. That's my main thing here which blew my mind! Either way I'm so glad you like it!!
I just followed this and it is made the huge difference on my hooded eyes... I cannot thank you enough for this tip!!!!! I love everything you do and share with us❤🙋♀️
I'm so glad Lynn!!
Mind blown, that is genius! My eye creases cover where most people would do a cat eye or flick out their eyeliner, more so on my right eye than my left eye, so this is a game changer for getting my eyes to look even! 👀🤯
*Wayne Goss has been doing this technique for years, he's got many great videos on hooded eye s and techniques you can use for eye makeup. In fact, it seems most of his tutorials are geared towards mature women s makeup needs.* 🥰
Yes he’s a great makeup artist that’s well known and well respected here on YT.
did you get paid to post that comment
Don't think I've seen a video on how to deal with one hooded and one normal eye
Ive been doing this to my lashline and upper waterline,most days for over 35 years! Good technique.
Yes! I’ve been doing these techniques for a while now for my hooded eyelids. I love how you explained it! Great job! 🙌🏽
Thank you Vanessa! 💗
I tried this before when Wayne Goss showed it a few years ago but I forgot all about it. He showed the flat eyeliner brush technique but without the wing. You have me excited to do my eyeliner again. Thank you 💕
Tightlining isn't new, it's the flick part that's different with holding the lid up. I also have a video with an eye lift without a wing in my Challenging eyes playlist that you may enjoy! :)
You hit the nail on the head! I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. Not enough lid space to do the eyeliner technique I did in my 20s.
Thank you! :)
You are talking to me!!! Hooded eyes from aging of course. I will be watching all your “eye” videos! I don’t wear a wing due to down turned eyes. You bet I’m gonna try this new trick. My eyes are so sensitive and being blind in my right eye no telling where I’d put it lol. Thanks for all the tips!!! 😘😘😘🌹🌹🌹🌹💕💕💕💕💕
I have hooded eyes and I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for the tip.
Beautiful,I love this colors
Good morning Stephanie! I have very little movable lid space with hooded eyes. I’ve been using this technique for awhile and I think it was Risa who had this tutorial. I bought the Sigma liner because using smaller brushes help so much! I do use the angled brush and it’s so easy! Yes for more videos on challenging eyes! I think at 61, it is a bit more challenging with hooded eyes. I’m going to adopt that flick! Thank you for addressing this issue. Have a wonderful week ahead and stay cool in New Orleans. It’s even warm here in Seattle! 😘🌞🔆
I've talked to Risa about it and I don't think she's done a video where she flicks while she lifts the lid? We talked a couple of days ago? I have a playlist on challenging eyes and I've showed a flick while not lifting the eyes but not while lifting. Tightlining has been around forever and is awesome! The flick is what I wanted to show you guys! I hope it works for you! It's BRUTALLY hot here right now! I might melt! LOL!
Stephanie, you’re right about the flick. I learned that from you, thank goodness. What a great trick! I follow your channel faithfully and learn so much about skincare and makeup. See, you can teach an old dog new tricks! 😂. I’m just kidding but I always come away with having learned something beneficial! Have a great week ahead and please don’t melt! I love New Orleans but have visited only in the winter. I grew up in Florida, but have lived on the west coast for decades. I’m such a wimp that when the thermometer hits above 80, the A/C comes on. Stay cool and don’t let that beautiful face wither! 😘. Added: the playlist is perfect. Thank you so much!! I’ve pinned this post for future reference!
I saw this on a wedding make over show and have been doing it for years. Really opens the eyes and thickens the lashes
OmG it works! I’ve been trying to wing my liner , literally, for decades without it making my eyes look smaller or closed in & this works! Woohoo! Thank you Stephanie!
I started doing this in my early 30s. I don't ever pull my eye out. But after a while you you get use to it like the lower lid.
I also find that the Revlon waterproof eyeliner is softer and last longer. They also have came out with some nice metallic color this fall as well. Any of the softer pencils work much better and especially if you can get the long wearing or waterproof.
Eyeliner on the waterline not only drying. But it always gives the illusion of a smaller eye. I like to use a white or even skin toned eyeliner to apply in my waterline. As it gives the illusion of a more wide eyed, awakened look.
How do you get the white or beige eyeliner to stay on?
I find it just disappears
Your left eye looks bigger and brighter. The shorter technique...Love it! Thank you for the how to videos.. I’m so going to try this...💕💕🐾🐾🐾
Have seen Wayne Goss’s videos doing the push liner with a flat brush but he doesn’t do the flick at the end. Excited to try the flick at the end because I’m not good at making a wing. Thanks for sharing!! 😊💙💙
I tried this today...OMG!!! I love it... thank you!!!
Ok, so when I first watched this video, I thought it was silly, because I couldn’t really see the difference it made on you. But I did it this morning, and... wow! I think the key is a softer pencil as you mentioned, and I live by the L’Oreal Infallible eyeliner pencils. They are soft in application, but strong in pigment and staying power.
This is THE FIRST video that's worked for me!! Thank you thank you thank you!
You know i sub'd to your channel bc of the "difficult eye series" and basicly you do this alreay just a bit different. I swear your tips for a small flick have helped huge. I have to tell you that your technique is the easiest out there on UA-cam!
Thank you SO much!!
Your makeup looks so pretty. Very natural looking
Great tutorial... I have to practice lining closer to the lash line instead of applying liner to upper waterline... I struggle with hooded downturned eyes & notice my current application ends up smearing ...💕💕💋
I've never seen this technique either! Tight lining, yes but not the little flick at the end. I'm going to try that tomorrow morning. Thank you so much.
I hope it works for you!!
Stephanie Marie I didn't try it today. I forgot!
I don’t use an eyeliner pencil anymore, I line using eye shadow in the same way you’ve shown here. So much quicker and it looks great.
Doesn't the fallout get into your eye?
@@zoezzzarko1117 no. Tap brush before use. My favorite method when I line my eyes - eyeshadow.
@@kimberbites ok I'll def try it 💖
@@zoezzzarko1117 also adding some concealer after can help IF you get dust on your face from the powder. ☺️ Forgot to mention.
@@kimberbites yes I usually clean up w a qtip dipped in some foundation. Im just wondering if it will be black enough using powder shadow. I have olive/tan skin and black hair/brows... so if the eye makeup isnt very dark grey or pure black ... my eye makeup isnt noticeable at all 🙄
You have beautiful eyes already...not hooded or downturned at all. I wish I had eyelids like yours.... Thanks for the tip!
I had difficulty seeing any differences or improvements, especially when it’s not being demonstrated on someone who actually has hooded eyelids, but it’s nice to know that it isn’t difficult nor time-consuming. Perhaps I’ll give it a try and see if it makes a difference to my hooded eyelids. Thank you.
Hi! Just like there are different degrees of lip fullness, body weight, etc., there are different degrees of hooded eyes. Not everyone that's hooded has a completely invisible lid. I am moderately hooded to where my crease drops below the corner of my eye and cuts through where my eyeliner extends. I cannot do a winged liner without adjustments. One eye is also more hooded than another which is another struggle. You may be more hooded than I am, but it doesn't mean I don't have eyeliner struggles and don't have a degree of hooded eye as well. I hope it works for you. Have a lovely day.
I felt there was maybe a fraction of a second jump between before and after doing the deed. It would have been good if there had been away to do that part in very slow motion
THANK YOU! I am 37 yrs old and NEVER could get eyeliner to look good, so I just never wore it. I tried this technique and for the first time in my life my freakin eyeliner looks AMAZING. Thank u so much.
I'm so so happy this helped you Hilaree!! That's awesome! Thank you so much for the update!!
This is the best tip ever! It is such a game changer for my hooded eyes. I find using shadow works best for me. Thank you 😊
I'm surprised you've never seen this before, I've been doing this from 1978 on , but yes it's a great way for liner. Thanks for sharing for those who haven't seen this. Have a blessed day
With the little flick? Tight lining is old yes but doing the flick that way is new to most people! You’re ahead of the game!
I have been doing the exact top for 40 years... I. Have hooded eyes. No matter what I do. This top has to be done !!!! Yo my eyes.
I’m so glad you did this video. We all find what we need at different times so things are worth repeating. Others here have seen it before but since I don’t usually watch make up videos I wasn’t aware of this technique and my eyes have become downturned. I don’t wear any eye makeup other than mascara so I’m hoping that this is gonna be the deal changer I need to feel pretty again.
I'm so glad it helped! I know others (and myself) were familiar with the tightlining technique but some may not have been so I wanted to show it. The way of flicking is new to many people...I thought it was cool! Thank you!
Stephanie Marie I may have somewhat of a peculiar problem doing this technique. I have very dense thick lashes so there’s no room for tightlining in there! My only option seems to be to apply kohl or dark shadow above my lash line as close to my lashes as posible. I was aware that applying eyeliner a bit thickly to the outer half of my eye improved their shape a lot but I felt too made up for daily wear so only did it on special occasions. But thanks to your video I may just do it daily and just wear nude lips to keep it looking as natural as possible for daily wear! Why just look prettier 3 times a year?!
Thank you!
The technique with the brush actually looks a little smoky which I love too. Thank you so much for these great tips xo
Omg .Stephanie I just did this trick, thank you, thank you ,thank you 🙏 I hope your doing okay after the last hurricane. Sending prayers your way. I hope you didn’t loose power
Yay! I'm glad it worked for you! We came out just fine. Thank you! 😘
Thank you so much! I’ll try this. My favorite pencil eyeliners are from Mally. They glide on so easily and stay on. I’m really sensitive on my eye area with pencils so thank you for the other recommendations.
I have been doing this! I just run the pencil under the lashes and flick it up at the end of the lash line. Thanks for sharing!
Stephanie, what a great technique on my 53 yr old eyes! And almost 1.5 MILLION ppl have viewed it! Nicely done! 👏👏
Great video Stephanie. Yes that’s the method I’ve been using. I like using color too like dark blue for outer upper and lower lashes.
This is an absolute game changer!! Thank you. I can't get over the result on myself xx
This is the way I been doing for years. Really gives you a fuller lash line.
I am going to try this tomorrow before work. Thanks for the tip!
Can’t wait to try this Stephanie!! It looks so simple yet effective!
Yes, I'm Filipino with hooded eyes and I've been doing this forever! 🥰 I find the creamy liners work best.
I tried this today after seeing this video last night and it was super easy and worked WONDERS for my very hooded eyes. Thanks for the tip!
Laura Ferrandina did the exact same thing!;)
Tried it and this technique is very helpful! Thank you!
I So needed this video this morning, I’m trying my hardest to get that little wing happening, hopefully now I’ll give it another go tomorrow morning, I was at my vanity mirror for about an hour trying to get it right Lol 😂, Lucky for me I wasn’t going out anywhere, just playing with makeup 💄...Who Else does that.... Much Love from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️💖💖💖
I so feel you on this Nellie! Ps. Holla from Brisbane Australia 💜
@@jas_rawlinson Hey neighbour 🙋🏼♀️❤️
Thank you, Im 59 and have hooded eyes, Im forever trying to get the flick on the end done correctly, I finally gave up. Your beautiful and Im a subscriber and not just “liked” you short video but loved it!
Thank you so much!
I've actually been doing this for about a year it def helps with my semi hooded eyes and makes your eyelashes look great 💙💜
OMG this is how I do it all the time since I give up using the ink liner & always failed doing wing lining plus it doesn’t look good on my small Asian eyes 🙄 ever since I use this technique, I save much more time doing my eyes 😆 Thanks, Stephanie..
Maybelline Master Precise Skinny pencil is awesome for this. The black is harsh for an old broad like me so I use grey lol
Tracey T oh thx for the tip, I’ll pick up one of those
Thanks for the suggestion!!
I have been trying it. It is always nice to learn other easier ways. thanks!
I have been tight lining for a couple of years. I think the 2nd eye looks bigger. 💞
It could be that her 2nd eye is a little larger. Most of us have different sized eyes
I love this technique! I’ve discovered it a few months ago in 58 and it has totally made a huge difference and my eyes look so much better thanks for spreading this gem of a technique 😍
Think I've seen Wayne Goss do this and Risa Does Makeup did something similar with the wing/flick, but I still love your video. The more ppl with different shape eye you can watch do it the more helpful it is.
Yes, you’re right and I’ve been doing it since I saw Wayne Goss, but I don’t remember if he describes the flick at the end and it looks great on you. I’ll add it from now on. Thanks
Yes ! Wayne Goss is too good !
I’ve seen a lot of make up tips but never this one. I’m definitely going to try this one. Thanks!!
This is genius Stephanie!😎 I’m a huge believer in the subtle power of a quick tight line and a baby wing and this looks like a quick way to do that! Thanks for sharing!!😁❤️
Thank you! Let me know what you think about it if you try it!
I actually have seen & used this technique. We used to do what we called “underlining” back in the 60’s 66/67/68-ish. I was in 7th grade & my BFF’s cool teenage sister taught us at a sleepover how to do it. We used a soft Maybelline eyebrow/eyeliner pencil & lined the underside of our top eyelashes & the top edge of our bottom lashes & also did the little cleopatra flick on our top lid like you did.
Some time during high school it fell out of vogue as did beehives & updoo’s for a more “natural” hippie type look so it fell by the wayside.
About a year or two ago, I saw someone doing the underlining again & never having been good at regular eyelining, I gave it a try & it was as easy as it was when I was a girl. I’ve been doing it ever since. I suppose the old adage is true .... “Everything old is new again”!
Love this! I didn’t see the Vogue video link?
miramsey1 I’m not finding it either...?
I added it in!
I have always (since getting older, that is) used eyeshadow to line my eyes. The only difference is I spritz setting spray in a glass bowl and dip the tip of my brush so it stays longer. Also I warm my eyelash curlers with a blow dryer before immediately applying mascara. It's like a curling iron for lashes. Sometimes I can even skip mascara because it's a soft natural look.
Great tips... thanks for posting.
I’ve been doing something similar to the shadow technique for a while now. I’m just so bad with liner, and find shadow easier. I use an angled or flat brush and just sort of stamp in a dark shadow. I’ll have to try incorporating the flick next time. Very informative, Steph!! xo
No disrespect intended, can someone explain how this is different? Isn't this how the flick has always been done?
this is by far the best makeup tip I have ever gotten!! 100%
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this! I can't wait to try it out! 👍
Thanks for this tip! I am over 50 and I am looking forward to giving this a try!
Can’t wait to try this when I do my makeup tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
Im definetly trying it. I like the more natural looking kind of wing
Going to try this for my wedding in 2 weeks❤️
I’ve watched a lot of videos about hooded eyes and by far this is the best!
You made it so easy to follow, looks amazing, I finally got it :) thank you!
Thank you! 💗
Love this! Yes, seen something similar from Hot n Flashy, she called it "The Blob" effect about a year ago! It's great technique ! Elle Leary did a remake a year ago
First time I see a tutorial on this. I've been using this technique for many years, I've got droopy eyes and this helps lift them. Thanks for sharing this with us you explained it wonderfully 🌸😊
I will absolutely try this I always try the eye tips you show
I have NEVER seen this before and thought it was brilliant! I will be doing from now on... thank you so much!
I appreciate that so much! 💜
I look forward to trying this Thank you . I just love all your Tips
I've been doing this for years. Love this method.
I love this. And I’m going to try it !! I have soo many issues. Sagging lids is hard. Ugh. I love how helpful you are to us and give such good results
Love this technique. I love eyeliner again. It’s not just a pencil sitting in my makeup bag. Thank you.
I'm so glad it worked for you!
