Eyeshadow Tips For Hooded Eyes

Published 2021-10-08
Eyeshadow tips for Hooded Eyes:

I get asked all the time for tips on how to apply eyeshadow on Hooded eyes, and It’s actually much easier than you would think.
So in this tutorial, I’m sharing some of my best tips and techniques.
Even though I do not have significantly hooded eyes I do however have one eye, in particular, that is much more hooded and always takes a lot more time and patience just to get it to look like the other, you’ll notice in this tutorial that the eye I focus on is slightly less open and has more of a fold over my eyelid which is why I chose to only demo on this eye.
Even with the finished look, they are still not twins and that’s OKAY. The main takeaway from this tutorial is the Placement of each shadow, blending techniques, and to maintain looking STRAIGHT ahead into a mirror throughout the application.
Follow along and feel free to switch out the colors I used for any that you’d like.

Tag me on Instagram with your finished look!

  • this is THE BEST tutorial for hooded eyes i've watched.. and i've watched a ton. can't wait to try these tips out
  • @Leshenn
    I am so excited that this is not just for hooded eyes but also uneven eyes. My eyes are uneven, and I have never found tutorials to make them match, especially taking into account hoodedness! I'd also be interested in tutorials for people who have low brow bones and little real-estate for eye-shadow. With my hooded eyes, I feel like my eyelashes touch my eyebrows. Whenever I try to tightline, I basically have no other visible makeup with my eyes open.
  • You’re a natural teacher. Thrilled you’re doing more instructional vids 🙏🏽
  • @kaosh87
    I have Asian hooded eyelids and for years I've looked for a tutorial to do eyeshadow and THIS is THE one! Thank you so much. Best explanation and demonstration.
  • @jillbaffone6939
    Ok…I’ve been watching hooded eye makeup tutorials literally since the dawn of YouTube and this is HANDS DOWN the best one ever! Some of the tips I’ve seen from other artists on here but this combined all the best tips I’ve ever seen with some definite amazing new ones I’ve never seen in the last 10+ years of watching YouTube tutorials. Thank you! Can’t wait to try these new tricks tomorrow. Glad to see you posting more lately too…I always loved seeing you on Susan’s channel!

  • Nikki ...I don't get tired of watching this amazing tutorial on hooded eyes. We need please more videos like this and I've been waiting for them...Thanks a lot...Bye
  • This was an outstanding tutorial. You're a natural teacher, as others have said. Thank you, I love your teaching videos!
  • @cathybero3182
    BEST tutorial I have ever seen for hooded eyes!!!! I learned sooooo much and will use these techniques starting tomorrow!!! TY TY TY
  • @leiracines8385
    Your step by step tutorial is hands down the very best I have watched for hooded eyes. The pace is absolutely perfect.Your explanation on how to use each brush for each step is so helpful. The technique for applying the shadow colors is demonstrated very well. The lighting is perfect. The close up camera shots really help to understand the technique. Seeing how you even hold the brushes when applying is even helpful. You're holding them at the end and using a very light touch and a small amount of product. I finally get it! Thank you very much! Now I need to practice. 😮
  • Duuude what the f. I’ve followed so many tutorials throughout the years and seriously could never get my eye shadow to ever look the way the makeup artist has it on. It always looked muddled together. I followed along with this tutorial and for once it looks the way i’ve always wanted it to, thanks to you!!! ❤
  • @AGLPS
    I AM SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU ON YT. I adore you. You are the most 'comfortable' to watch. I love your voice, and I really like your camera locations
  • @alicenicolai2323
    You are a true artist 👩‍🎨 your understanding of colors, shadows, depth, etc. are truly exemplified in this video. What a treat it must be to be one of your clients! All of these videos are such a gift 🎁 TYSM dear Nikki! 🙏🏼
  • @sherry4265
    You are so pretty and so talented, Nikki! Love everything about your videos so far including these straight to the point tutorials and products reviews. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with the rest of us.
  • @hdprincess2004
    Even though I have far more hooded eyes than you do, I feel like this is something I can actually do. This is a technique I’ve seen before, but never explained so simply, and thoroughly. Thank you so much for making this seem like something I can do!!
  • I just discovered your channel today and I am addicted!! I have never worn much makeup or been good at applying it but I have always wanted to be. I am in love with you and your videos and accomplished nothing today because I could not stop watching them. 😂 I was in a car accident in 2013 and due to blunt force trauma to my face, my eye socket was shattered and my left eye globe ruptured. I now have plate and screws and a prosthetic eye on the left. Due to the trauma I lost most of the fat around that eye socket so my eyes look different. I have a hooded eye on the right and not hooded anymore on the left. I prefer the not hooded to be honest. I was wondering if you could do a video showing tricks and tips that can make my eye structure look more similar to each other. Most people say they can’t tell the difference but I can….but considering what it looked like prior to all the 4 surgeries I am happy with the outcome. I wish I was able to show you a photo.
