What is your eye make up like for a night out?

[HanHanHanHan]

Cat flicks ar everywhere atm but no good for a hooded eye. Also not the easiest look to achieve.

I use a small amount of eyeshadow, mascara and a pencil on my bottom lash line but have been doing this for years and should probably update my look.

What do you do?

Check out Pinterest for ideas. I use Urban Decay Naked 2. I use suspect on my lid, then snakebite on the outer corner of my eye top and bottom, then tight line along the top with blackout. Sweep of mascara. The liner along the bottom lash line is probably dating your look.

It's hard to advise without knowing your colouring. I prefer the Too Faced Chocolate Bar to any of the Naked palettes and there are some easy to follow tutorials on You Tube.

If you don't wear liner on the bottom, what do you do? I look and feel a bit naked without it.

Liner on top is impossible for me because of hooded eye.

I have olive skin, black hair and brown eyes.

So eyeshadow doesn't show up unless i blink. It's all about the lower lash for me. And as I feared, that looks dated.

I feel naked without it as well Remus.

I do quite often use eyeshadow on my lower lash instead of liner. If I have nothing there, it looks weird.

And a dark liner does suit my eyes because of how dark they are.

I've tried doing the top lash line but it just makes my eyes water.

I saw someone with shadow on their lower lash today and it looked nice.

But I'very just tried it and it doesn't look good

I have hooded eyes and need something on the bottom, too.

I've tried loads of eyemake-up YouTube tutorials, but they dont work on hooded lids

You know what suits you best OP. I'm dark as well and always wear liner on the lower lid. I imagine the shadow would look better on fair, blond people. Maybe go to Mac or book a session with a make up artist for some new ideas?

I was thinking of going to a counter but will I be expected to buy a lot of expensiveffort make up?

I think your'reply right because the person wearing the shadow on the bottom was fair skinned.

shesagreatgas - so what do you use?

I've got dark hair and eyes and v pale skin. I do like using shadow on the bottom and it's deffo softer than eyeliner. I use the Urban Decay Naked powders.

I use dark shadow and a flatlining brush or a kohl eyeliner which i then smudge/soften with a brush. I use it close to the lower lid, not inside the eye, iyswim. I wing it at the bottom and edge of upper lid for nights out out.

I'm not saying I'm a make up guru or anything

I'very wasted a whole morning trying to get the flick to work through watching YouTube videos.

Either it smudges as soon as I open my eye or because you can't see the lid, what you can see is allocated black.

I'might going to try that shesagreatgas but probably without the wing as I'm rubbish at them.

That's the best tutorial I have seen for hooded eyes. Thank you.

I will have a practice tomorrow!
