Andmma Stone, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Blake Lively (this shows that age often doesn’t matter) have a detail in common that makes their gaze very special: hooded eyes. That is, with the eyelid not very visible, often hidden by the folds of the thin skin of the area. Making them up is not easy, but you just need to know a few tricks.
Hooded eye makeup, the features
The key feature of hooded eyes is the particular cut: «It is due to the orbital conformation and genetic inheritance e occurs when the upper eyelid tends downward. A detail that is hardly noticeable at a young age but which tends to be emphasized as you grow up»Explains the expert.
If well made up, however, the hooded eye is very sensual. This is demonstrated by many Hollywood celebs such as Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone and Catherine Zeta-Jones who focus everything on the look making it particularly intense.

How to enhance hooded eyes with makeup
Eyeshadow is indispensable in this case: “It needs to be spread in a different way, in fact, the application is not limited to the mobile eyelid but also to the fixed one so as to give depth»Says the expert who continues:« For a correct application, we should make up with your eyes open so as to always keep the actual result under control. Therefore, not only should the eyelids not be closed but not even “pulled”: the risk is that of spreading the color in points that would then be hidden by the particular shape ».
Given its conformation, this look also needs to be underlined by a high-precision, long-lasting eyeliner and a volumizing mascara always to emphasize its depth.
The right shades to enhance the hooded eye
The most suitable shades in this case are medium-dark ones: “All the browns, blacks, grays but also midnight blues visually reduce the volume of the eyelid»Explains the expert. “Light colors, on the other hand, only tend to enlarge the eye.”
And which ones to avoid? “More than nuances, I would talk about textures: Metallic and glitter finishes are to be avoided because they only emphasize the hooded shape of the look. Better then one matte texture“.
What about the rest of the trick?
The focal point of make-up is therefore the look. To further enhance it, the eyebrow arch also wants its part. “It must be wide and slightly high so as to “open” as much as possible. And in order, thus eliminating unwanted hair and filling any holes with a pencil ».
Emphasizing the look, especially thanks to dark shades, the rest of the make-up should be more natural: “Nude and neutral shades are suitable for lips, the only exception is red, while the skin should have an excellent luminous base but natural without particular techniques such as contouring »concludes the expert.
