r/HoodedEyes

so i have genetic this type of eyes and because of that I am so underconfident in life , I am 30yrs M . No gf no female friends , i wear specs to hide it but sometimes i get caught , and ppl ask me what happened to you this dark circles are way toodark...extremely concious i am of it ,,, and reading one book i read "eyes r windows to soul"😵‍💫 , mine r windows to hell I guess. i even tried lases surgery clearly it did not work as you can see .

There’s nothing more frustrating than completing a makeup look just to realize your hooded eyes are hiding your masterpiece. Word of advice: Bring the shadow higher! I treat my lips as space for liner and focus my shadow close to my brows. If you have the space, use it! Don’t let all your work go to waste.

I don't remember the products. Maybe blue eyeliner from maybelline and mascara too from Maybelline

Please can you help me find my go to/ everyday look. I’m 47 going through menopause and lost confidence in myself and my makeup abilities. I’ve not done a proper ‘face’ in nearly 3 years. Just something simple, like me but on a good day!
Thank you!

Over the years have learned that false lashes look kinda silly and over powering on me. Also utilising my under eye space a lot.

Mascara, shimmery eyeshadow and brow gel. Much more and it just looks too crazy on me lol but Im okay with it 🌟 and yeah I know you can barely see it LOL but Im trying to be more positive towards myself so here we go😂🤣 does anyone else feel like less is more, with their hooded eyes? Products are Elf brow gel, LOreal brown mascara, and eyeshadow from a company called True Cosmetics (discontinued)

I have very hooded eyes and thick lashes. I curl my lashes every single day without fail (see first picture) but they fall pretty easily. I really wanted to get into semi permanent false eyelashes because I hate mascara and love the fuller but also natural look but every time I put on the temporary ones my eyes look so crowded once they fall. Would putting on the more permanent ones possibly fix this? Should I consider a lift?

The second picture obviously I’m not wearing falsies but that’s where my lashes naturally lay so you might see how with falsies they’d be even heavier.

Feel like I’ve been watching hooded eye tutorials my whole life and they’ve never really worked, because they’re always suggesting going above the eye crease. My eyebrows are low, which I think is actually what’s causing the hooded effect. Any advice for how to do, for example, a smoky eye? Im into kind of alt looks.

Edit: also if you think doing anything with my eyebrows would be helpful lmk - I’m curious as I’ve never really touched them
