The first step in creating makeup for hooded eyes is to avoid applying too much darkness around the eyes. Instead, focus on defining the eyes by emphasizing the lashes and adding extra light to them. To achieve this, start by applying a little bit of Radiance Balm Moon behind the lashes, making sure not to get any shimmer into the crease.

Next, use Gel Liner Onyx to create a little bit of volume to the lashes by pressing it into the base of the lashes. This will help to define the lashes and make them stand out. Finish off the look with Lift/Lengthen Mascara to complete the effect.

To add more definition, apply a little bit of contouring on the outer edge of the hooded area using Hybrid Eye Pigment like Meteorite with Blender Brush. This will create the illusion of more space in the outer corner of the eye, making your eyes appear more open and awake.

It's important to remember that less is more when it comes to makeup for hooded eyes. By following these tips and techniques, you can achieve a natural yet enhanced look that will make your eyes shine.
