Makeup for Hooded Eyes: The Technique That Really Works
Hooded eyes are very common—many people are born with them or develop them over time. This eye shape is characterized by an extra layer of skin that droops over the crease, making the eyes appear smaller or more tired. But with the right makeup techniques, hooded eyes can not only be beautifully accentuated but also made to look bigger and more open. At MONLIS Schule in Munich, the leading beauty school for manicure, pedicure, and makeup education, we teach you step by step how to master these techniques—practically, professionally, and with ease.
The first and most important step is prepping the eyelid. A good eyeshadow base or a light concealer helps keep the makeup in place and prevents creasing. For hooded eyes, it’s especially important to aim for a matte finish to avoid unwanted shine on the overhanging skin.
Next, a neutral transition shade slightly darker than your skin tone is applied—not into the natural crease, but slightly above it—where the lid is still visible when the eye is open. This creates the illusion of a new crease, giving the eye more openness and dimension. At MONLIS Schule, we focus on this crucial yet often overlooked technique that delivers the most noticeable results.
Darker shades are best placed on the outer third of the lid and blended slightly outward and upward. This lifts the eye visually and makes it appear fresher and more awake. It's important to avoid harsh lines and to blend all transitions smoothly for a natural finish.
Another key factor is eyeliner application. For hooded eyes, thick, dramatic lines tend to make the eye look smaller. Instead, a thin line along the upper lash line will define the eye without weighing it down. A great trick is to apply liner only to the outer third and slightly wing it upwards to create a lifting effect.
Mascara also plays a big role. Applying mascara to the upper lashes adds depth and helps open up the eyes. Using an eyelash curler beforehand can enhance this effect. At MONLIS Schule, we demonstrate how to use mascara, brushes, and proper technique to achieve the best results—even with hooded eyes.
An often-overlooked tip is using a nude or white eyeliner on the lower waterline. This makes the eyes appear larger and more awake. Dark liner on the lower waterline, however, tends to shrink the eye visually, which is something to avoid with hooded eyes.
Highlighting is another powerful technique. Adding a small amount of highlighter to the inner corner of the eye and under the arch of the brow brings light to the face and gives the gaze a radiant finish. When combined with matte shadows, this contrast lifts and enhances the entire eye area.
At MONLIS Schule, we place great emphasis on teaching each student to analyze their own eye shape and apply the most effective, personalized techniques. Especially with hooded eyes, one-size-fits-all makeup methods don’t work—it’s essential to adjust your approach to your unique features.
Our makeup courses in Munich are suitable for both beginners and advanced learners looking to expand their skills and apply them professionally. With expert guidance, modern products, and an inspiring learning environment, we teach not just technique but also confidence and creativity.
Hooded eyes are not a barrier to beautiful eye makeup. With the right technique and a little practice, anyone can enhance their gaze and let their natural beauty shine through. Let the experienced team at MONLIS Schule guide you, and discover how to make your eyes stand out in a soft, flattering way.
