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
-
You’re a natural teacher. Thrilled you’re doing more instructional vids 🙏🏽
-
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.

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.

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, you are absolutely amazing! Beautiful inside and out! 👑
-
Love it! You explain it so well thank you! I’m going to try it

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. 😮

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

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!!! ❤
-
Beautifully explained!! Impossible to miss it. May I suggest a green eyeshadow make up tutorial?
-
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 have super hooded eyes and have avoided eyeshadow forever. Your video has inspired me a lot 💖
