I am so grateful you did this video! I have tried the "typical" hooded eye tutorial countless times, and I thought I was just not skilled enough to make it work. Now I'm realizing that technique doesn't suit my type of hooded eye. I'm excited to try this technique since we have very similar eye shapes. Thank you!

Excellent tutorial - I have the same problem with my heavy hooded eyes and I always walk away feeling like my eyeshadow is impossible.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I always feel like I look so evil and mad when I do my eyeshadow because my eyes look so heavy and harsh!

Your 100% right about this....."usual /typical" way just doesnt work for heavier hooded lids. I think a lot of confusion comes from the tutorials being made, they are by girls that really just don't have our type of (heavier) eye...or they don't have hooded eyes at all! .....So glad to see you sharing your knowledge, it's so nice seeing eyes/looks that I can actually recreate! Keep up the amazing work !

Pls zoom in so we can see your technique more clearly

Now this technique I "think" I can follow. I am very hooded and above my crease looks so puffy. Thanks for this tutorial. Your "good" eye looks so good.

Thank you so much. I have puffy hooded eyes. I have found too that using the very dark shade above the crease, makes my eyes look very weighted and too heavy.- it’s a harsh look when done this way. No more carving out the eye-crease for me.

I think this technique works best for us with puffy hooded eyes. I have come to do this slowly just by trial and error, but now ill try doing it exactly the way you showed. Thanks for the tip!

You are quickly moving up the ranks to become one of my favorite KZfaqrs! I am LOVING these tips! Another favorite tip I've picked up is to not be afraid to really bring my transition shades up higher than what I see in tutorials. I can always go back with my brow bone highlight and make it pop, but carrying that gradation much higher up the lid really helps my hood recede. I've never quite mastered the outer V though, so this is SUPER helpful! Thanks for another great video!

Love this! I feel your pain. I’m always like, wow! That looks good... then I relax my eyebrows & poof! All gone!

So happy I found your channel. These tips are incredible and make so much more sense than the typical hooded eye tutorials. Thank you!!

wow what a difference!!! You're so right, theirs not enough tutorials on hooded eyes like ours!! Thank you!!!! I love it!!😍😁

I like how you showed a very realistic "don'ts" look. The other eye definitely looks better but even the "bad" eye still looks wearable. I find a lot of tutorials with horrid caricature "don'ts" that I have not seen in everyday life, so thank you for this video!

OMG in ten minutes u just made me feel like I'm not an eyeshadow failure after all.. I always thought I was doing something wron when the "deepen the crease" technique always made me look like your left eye!! You just made my day THANK YOU

I'm watching this one again! Girl yours are the only videos I actually watch and pause While I'm doing makeup! Usually I just keep info from videos in my mental makeup vault but yours I follow along! 😍😙

This is what I’ve been doing all along, without being able to explain it as well as you. It is subtle, but I definitely notice the difference when I get it right.

Finally thank you!! I have puffy hooded eyes, texture, and can look droopy. I love lots of fun bright eye looks but even the videos meant for hooded eyes, I struggle with and end up so frustrated. And you explained it so well. Would love to know of any other YT you might recommend for hooded eyes like ours. Thanks so much 🤗

Finally, here you are!! Ive watched a billion videos but I still feel so frustrated after buying so many products, brushes thinking thats the problem! But my eyes are just simply hooded.. sigh..happy someone confirming this theory for me...

Your tutorials are THE BEST for my type of hooded lids, much like yours. I haven't found another influencer who truly understands & teaches the most flattering eye looks for my hooded eyes. Please continue creating eyeshadow tutorials for people like us. Please!!!

It's more than a helpful little tip it's like eyeshadow game changer! Thanks girl! Love having someone to watch that has same eyes as I do! actually those "bad" eye looks great for ppl with minimal hood but I can't deal with it does not work for me either! ❤

This video is AMAZING so helpful I had the exact same problem my eyes are like yours heavy on top and it never works with how your bad eye looks so happy I found this video you explained so perfectly I am adding this video to my playlist!!

Girl, im so glad you popped up as recommended because we have the same eyes ! Thank you love!

Yes, subtle difference but I have definitely experienced this and wondered why my eyes looked so heavy/muddy! Now I realize, it’s days when I blended dark colors too far up and in. I think those of use with hooded eyes just fear if we don’t bring it up and in enough, you won’t be able to see the color. Your tutorials are so clear and understandable. Thank you for taking the time to make them!

I keep coming back to this tutorial again and again for help with my heavy hooded eyes - so grateful you shared these tips with us. It's seriously one of the absolute best tutorials I've seen for hooded eyes and it makes all the difference. I was so frustrated with my eye shape i was seriously thinking for a while that I just couldn't wear eye makeup - and eye makeup is my favourite!! With these tips I notice such a difference and actually like how my eyes look!

Really like this technique definately a lot more flattering, I’m going to give this a go. Thank you x

I’m so glad I found you because my eyes are sooooo hooded and when I’ve tried their tutorials my eyes look heavier so I usually stay away from eyeshadow all together, but now that I found you I’ll experiment a bit more!

this is legit the only hooded eye tutorial I have ever seen that actually works. You hit the nail on the head about how deepening the crease on a hooded eye makes it look heavy and weird. The heaviest part of my hood is towards the inside of my eye like yours and I'm guessing that's why it doesn't work for some of us. This is so incredibly helpful and my eye makeup looks like I've always wanted it too. So happy I stumbled across this that I subscribed as soon as I finished watching.

I’m so glad I found your channel I felt like no one had the same hooded eyes that had issues with the dark colors in the crease!

Wow, that really does open the eye so much more! I’ve been frustrated for so long because when I do the standard hooded eye technique I always feel like the hood looks almost fat, and your technique really does look so much better! Can’t wait to put it into practice. And I subbed, excited to view more of your vids :)

OMG, thank you so much for this!! I have spent the past year trying to perfect my hooded eye technique, but something was always off. I totally see why now. Every hooded eye person needs to see this video! Thank you again! ❤️

OMG I LOVE THIS, I have the exact puffy hooded eyes (in a dark version :-)). The point you've just made and shown makes so much sense why I've had that heavy corner side eyes issues. THANK YOU and you made very easy to follow...I live in Ireland and it's SUPER hard (at least for me) to find someone to help me with make up, let alone hooded ones. Thank a million :-)

Honestly I just wanna say THANK YOU! I’ve tried to do eyeshadow on my hooded eyes following other videos and could never get it to work for me so I just finally gave up on eyeshadow all together! But this video just got me excited to try again!

You have no idea how amazed I am by this technique! I have tried so many ways on my hooded eyes, which are heaviest (puffy) just below my brow bone. This is a breath of fresh air! I had actually given up on wearing eye shadow, but now I think I’ll try again! Yay! Thank you.

I always learn so much from your videos! The other day it took me forever to finish my lower lash line because I have a sinus infection or something and my eyes kept watering and taking away the shadow. I eventually just stuck a waterproof pencil just in the area that was watering and it made it hold up.

The first hooded eye tutorial that really makes sense for my eyes. Thank you. Well done.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why my eyeshadow looked so good when my eyes were closed but as soon as I opened them it looked wonky and weird and unblended. This has helped IMMENSELY! 💕

Thanks for sharing. I like both eyes. The "good eye" looks like more of a day look, and the "bad eye looks like more of an evening look. It's interesting to see the subtle differences. I think the heaviness you mentioned was more evident when viewing your face from an angle instead of head on, but I still think it looked pretty. In a darker color, I can see how it could become really heavy.

This video is a lifesaver ! I just thought maybe eyeshadow just wasn’t my thing but after watching I realized I was trying to copy techniques of people who didn’t have hooded eyes . My eyes always looked heavy and racoon ish when I tried to copy an eye look . This video helped so much !

This... this was awesome. I never could figure out why my eyes looked so heavy after I’d spend so much time trying to “shape” them. Thank you. I’m trying this today

Wow! That made such a difference. It made the eye look more flattering. Thank you for this tutorial.

Omg FINALLY!! I haven't even gotten 30 seconds in and I'm already excited! Why? BECAUSE I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE ELSE WITH HIGH EYEBROWS! You not only have the same hooded lids as me but also higher brows than most....thank God im not the only one! Have you not noticed how much lower everyone else's brows are? What can you do about it when naturally your brows are high anyway, and manage to not look like a loon? Nothing. So hopefully this video will help me master shadow for once!

You just gave me a whole new outlook when it comes to eyeshadow for hooded eyes. I think your tutorial is the best one I've ever seen! THANK YOU!

brittany!! thank you for clarifying how you work with your actual crease vs. your socket, life-changing

Omg you have no idea how much this helped!! I gave up on using eyeshadow because I never got it to work for me, now I’m going to give it another go! Thanks you rock!!

I was just mind blown, I have hooded eyes and I kept doing my shadow the “wron” way. I will start to do them your way from now on, I loved the tutorial. Very informative!!

Coming back to this tutorial a year later just to refresh. I didn't even realize it until rewatching, but I always strive to go for this technique with my eyeshadow and it's from watching this.

I have naturally gone in this direction with my eyeshadow, but it's nice to know Im not alone with this issue.

So happy I ran across your videos I dont experiment too much with my eyeshadow cause when I do I end up taking it off cause I hate the way it looks on my hooded eyes that are really close to yours you do a good job of explaining things

Thank you sooo much for this in depth tutorial. And yes the subtle technique you used really does make a difference... love how your videos are focused on teaching practical techniques instead of focusing on the products. 💝

I’ve struggled with my hooded eyes for sooo long, I even gave up wearing eyeshadows! Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! ❤️

This is fantastic!!! Thank you so much. I have heavy hooded Downturned eyes that have become even more accentuated the older I get. I want to no need to try this. I have all but given up on shadows. What’s the point if your hood hides all the hard work. And forget about color! I will be spending the remainder of my night pouring through your videos. You are the first mu guru I’ve seen that makes any sense to me and isn’t over the top but super fun.

Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much! I’ve watched this tutorial like 10 times and followed along while I did my makeup. It’s helped me so much. I was so frustrated with it always looking like I was getting ready for a night out no matter what. Getting rid of that heaviness looks so much better and is so much more versatile.

Perfect tutorial for me! I kept getting such a mess doing it the way other you tubers handle hooded eyes like you did on your right eye! I have hooded eyes like yours and it never worked! Thank you so much fir this! Kathleen

First of all beautiful eyeshadow color palette , pigmented , blendable. loved the pencil brush you are using . your techniques are great and I kind of do similar as I have hooded eyes and I totally agree with you . when it comes to tricks and tips one should always find what works for them rather then blindly following what they see , as one good thing about makeup is make your own rules. you are very talented. loved your video.

Best tut I've seen for hooded eyes. I too have heavy hoods, and often found my eyes looked off when I "deepened" the crease. So happy I came across this video and your channel! Looking forward to learning more techniques from you 😊 also, i saw how you applied and rocked pink eyeshadow so well. would you be down to try a glitter eye look?? I would love to learn from You!

Yes! I have tried following the tutorials and found it so overwhelming for daytime. I had adjusted it just the way you describe, so I’m feeling pretty good right now seeing as how I felt like I was doing it all wrong.

i have extremely heavy hoods (when i look straight on i have 1-2 mm of lid space) and using any sort of darker crease shade has always looked horrible on me and i could never find out why. this video is extremely helpful!! also, her application skills aren’t poor, it’s just genuinely difficult to blend when there’s an excess of skin in such a small area.

Thanks so much for sharing your techniques with hooded eyes. I'm definitely going to be trying this. I normally follow the technique you used on your right eye so I can't wait to try out the technique used on your left. Again thanks so much for sharing.

This was so helpful! I've never understood why my eyes just don't look nice with eyeshadow but now I know!

My eyes are exactly like yours & I thank you so much for putting this tutorial together. I've been watching so many hooded eye tutorials & finding that they don't work for me. Many, many thanks!

Brittany Nichole, I stumbled over this tutorial and subscribed because of it. My eyes are shaped the same way heavily hooded. And your absolutely right the normal way that eyeshadow tutorials are shown just don't work for me. THANK YOU for filming this, I have been complemented on my eyeshadow since I started using this technique.

Im glad my feed recommended your channel! I also have heavy eyelids and I notice the hooded eye tutorials outhere didn't work that much on me. Thank you 😉

it's insane how noticable the difference is awesome tutorial!!!

I love this your right there’s not many videos for super hooded eyes ... good tips thank you 💜

Finally, somebody with hooded eyes like mine. I am so glad you made this video. I truly appreciate it.

Thanks for this tutorial you made it so much easier for me to do eyeshadow. I have really puffy hooded eyes that are also a little on the deep-set side. But after watching your tutorials it's so much easier for me to do eye makeup

Again I liked both eyes but i definitely see your point about defining crease making eye heavier. Will try this tip also.

This was so helpful! I have the same kind of "puffy" hooded eyes. I have tried following a million hooded eye tutorials and EVERY TIME I do them I feel like my eyes look Soooo heavy. I have always thought I was so I was doing something wrong. BUT...I just flowed this and my eyes look incredible! Thank you so much for making this video. I am so happy I found someone on KZfaq with eyes like mine! excited to watch more of your videos. Just subscribed! Thanks babe!

Well this is amazing! I'm 63 with very hooded eyes; my puffy hoods are almost on my lash line, barely any actual lid space showing (ugh!). When I was in high school and 20's/30's, I believe my eye shape was more like yours is now. I've watched so many videos on how to do eyeshadow for hooded eyes and mature hooded eyes and this is the first time I've ever seen your method, and how much sense it actually makes! Your "bad" eye looks very pretty when you're looking down but I can see what you mean about the heaviness it creates when you're looking straight on vs. the lighter, less weighted look of your "good" eye looking straight on, which lets face it, is how our eyes are seen most of the time unless we're in super flirt mode most of our waking hours! lol Anyway, genius tip, and I'm definitely going to try this on my old hoods. I've never been satisfied with how my eyes look going with the "normal hooded eyes tutorial mode" for hooded eyes, I think because most gals still had way more lid space to work with even with their hoods, and it just made my hoods look even heavier and puffier. I think this will really make a difference for me! Happy days!!! Thank you so much and I have subscribed to your channel.

Just found your channel! Thanks for this tutorial! I think i did this technique by accident one day - and i loved how my eyes turned out - but after couldnt remember how or what i did, lol. I personally see a huge difference as we have very similar eye shapes. I look forward to getting my eyeshadow out tomorrow and giving this technique a try. Now off to watch some of your other videos 😊

So helpful!!!! Thank you!!! I’ve tried following so many hooded eye tutorials and still hated the way in turned out! This made it so much better!!! ❤️

Awesome tutorial. Always had the problem of messy shadows . Keep making more such tutorials. More power to you girl

Thanks for this technique... i was actually questioning some hooded eyes tutorials that makes my eyes look heavier!

Freaking bless your soul this is the first hooded eye tutorial that has worked for me

I have this exact same issue and this was exactly the tutorial I needed. Thank you! At the beginning it looks like your right eyebrow is also thicker than the left, further closing off the eye.

Great tutorial. Game changer. I have really heavy Asian hooded eyes this will make a great difference in how open my eyes will look.

I am very excited to try this because I also habe never liked the way my eyes look with the typical tutorials

Finally...thank you. I'm still learning how to apply make up for my hooded eyes. One is more hooded than the other ( the side I favour more sleeping on is more hooded). Unfortunately I have been doing the bad eye technique and I always seem to not be happy with it I feel it looks heavy! Now I know why, I'm going to reteach myself how you do it. Thank you!!

I thought that I'm crazy that I don't like the way eyeshadow looks on me when I do it as they say in those tutorials! I'm glad I discovered your channel 😊

Wow! I just found your channel and I’ve gotta try this. My eyes are very heavily hooded and puffy. All the hooded eye tutorials I see on KZfaq are on people with more deep set, less heavy lids. So glad I found you!

You are literally changing my make up life and answering 'll the problems I have with other hooded eye tutorials

your videos are always so helpful!!!❤ thank you gorgeous!

I also have a habit of raising by brows, I do it subconsciously. Thank you for the tips. I’m starting to get interested in eye makeup and I’ll be following these techniques for my hooded eye.

This was super helpful! I’ve been struggling with the crease. Often find that some days it looks good and others it looks awful and have never quite put my finger on why but just realized that the days it looks worse is when I bring it too far in!

OMG!!! This is THE video I should have watched a loooooooong time ago!!! Thank you so much for this!!

Thank YOU. our hooded eyes are shaped very similar and I've always encountered problems playing with eyeshadow. I just learned so much from you! this video was very helpful to me!💕👍

I cannot thank you enough!!! ...finally someone I can relate to and is showing a proper way to do heavy hooded eyes. Darker transition shades makes my hooded eyes look 10 times worse also.

Absolutely fantastic upload the best I’ve seen yet! We need more hooded eyes uploads please please please 🙏🏼😍

This is the best tutorial! I have extremely hooded eyes too and my makeup always turned out like your right side and I've always hated it. Thank you for doing this video, you've got a new subscriber!

I’ve just discovered this tutorial. It is brilliant, thank you so much!! It’s also great that you used such a cheap popular palette. I have just bought it so can practice this exactly!

I have heavily hooded eyes too & I think when it comes to eyeshadow application it’s really about tweaking the technique to fit in a way where it’s most flattering for your particular eye. The technique you’re describing is almost exactly what I do too. I can’t carve my lids out & bring the darker shadow all the way across or too far above my natural crease either - for the same reasons. I think of all eye shapes, hooded is very tricky because it takes very little to find ourselves backpedaling & creating something unflattering.

THANK YOU! Finally someone who addresses this on KZfaq! I´ve always wondered if it didn´t make more sense to put a lighter color eyeshadow in the crease, because the shadows of the hooded eyes are already so dark... but I wasn´t sure, because all of the hooded eyes tutorials said to do it differently :D now I know I was right :D

Great tutorial! I have puffy heavy hooded meaty eyelid. I usually do my shadow like the not so good side, and then instinctively go over the darken hood with transition color to make it softer and more flattering. Now I know why I always felt the need to add that extra step, and actually don't need to do it anymore. I could just narrow down the area of the crease.that gets deepened. Thank you so much. I am subscribing. I finally found someone who has similar eye shape.

This is really helpful! So glad I found this. My eyes are super hooded and they are also shaped different...kinda like crescent moons, downturned at the corners. So I have such a struggle with eye looks!

I actually do this because I have very hooded eyes and I struggled with other techniques but there was no tutorial like yours, had to trial and error it but I got it in the end 🖤

That’s is so funny! When I was in college I did my makeup like this but with low quality makeup and after graduating started to try the cut crease method on the left which just wouldn’t look good on my eyes. Thank you for highlighting this!!!!! Love that this is my first video on your channel- new subbie!!!

Honestly they both look great. Love the color!!

So glad to see this video I love seeing another way to do this so since I struggle with hooded eyes. Great videos and new subscriber

Yes!!!!!! Thank you!!! Hooded eye tutorials never work for me. It just ends up looking to heavy and like I have way to much make up on. This is what I end up doing but I've never seen someone do a tutorial on it 😘👏👏

Finally a real hooded eye. I e been looking for you. Thank you!!!
