JAKARTA - In facial makeup, understanding the shape of the eye is very important so as not to take a lot of time when making up. One form of eye that is of extra concern for her makeup is hooded eyes.

Hooded eyes are a condition in which the folding of the skin on the abwah of the eyebrow bone covers part or all of the upper eyelids, making the eyes look heavier, smaller, or sleepy. Therefore, to make eyeshadow makeup charming in hooded eyes is challenging, but that doesn't mean it can't.

Makeup artist Christian Briceno said that to make a prominent eyeshadow display lies at its base or base. He recommends always using a primary eye or eyeshadow to stick perfectly.

"The smooth base is everything," Christian said, quoted from Glamour, on Friday, October 3, 2025.

For the shape of a hooded eye, creating the illusion of an eyekels is an important step. With the illusion of these eyelids, the eyes will not look bigger and will not get tired.

"Creating a wider temple illusion is key," added makeup artist, Kirin Bhatty.

If used for daily activities, the illusion of hooded eyelids can be created using neutral to dark color gradation. The color will look beautiful in hooded eyes.

Gradien neutral to dark always looks beautiful in closed eyes," continued Christian.

For a bolder look, hooded eyes can still be explored in various styles, such asaky in the lower eyelashes, elongated color sweeps, to soft shimmer accents. Focusing on the lower part of the eye also makes hooded eyes look more alive, without burdening the upper eyebands.

In applying eyeshadow to hooded eyes, the tips are using soft and tapered brushes. This is so that eyefolds can be seen firmly without leaving a hard line.

Use the tapping technique first using blending gross, then blending the edge slowly on the eyelids. Then on the hooded eyes, eyeshadow should be applied slightly higher than the folding, so that it remains visible when the eyes are open.
