If you have hooded eyes, you know that applying eye makeup can be a bit challenging, but with the right techniques, you can make your eyes look bigger, more defined, and beautifully dramatic. Here’s your step-by-step guide to achieving the best eye makeup for hooded eyes.
Step 1- Prime your lids
Start by applying a small amount of the PAC’s Spotlight Primer to keep your shadow from creasing. This helps create a smooth canvas for your colors.
STEP 2 - Choose the right eyeshadow
For hooded lids, go for matte shades that add depth. Apply a medium brown shade to the crease with a fluffy blending brush. This adds dimension and helps make your eyes appear less heavy. Lighten up the center of your lid with a shimmer or a lighter color for contrast.
We recommend using the PAC’s On-The-Go Eye Shadow Palette.
PAC eye makeup tips: Always blend upward and avoid adding color directly into the fold.
STEP 3 - Cut crease for hooded eyes
To define your cut crease, apply a small amount of PAC Spotlight Concealer above your natural fold. This trick helps make your eyes look bigger. Fill in with a light or shimmering shadow.
STEP 4 - Eyeliner application for hooded eyes
When choosing the best eyeliner for hooded eyes, opt for a thin, upward stroke. Keep it close to the lash line and create a small wing. This lifts the eyes and adds a dramatic finishing touch.
We recommend using the PAC AccuPro Eye Liner.
STEP 5 - Mascara tips for hooded eyes
Curling your lashes and applying lengthening mascara can make a huge difference. Concentrate on the outer lashes to help lift the eyes. If you want, add a pair of natural lashes for additional depth.
We recommend using the PAC Volume Blast Mascara.
STEP 6 - Makeup hacks for hooded eyes
Always blend upward and avoid adding heavy colors directly to the fold. Highlight the brow bone with a lighter shade to aid in opening up the eyes.
