Eyeliner for hooded eyes

[Kumquatsquash]

I hate my hooded eyes. The older I get the more they seem to sag and it makes me look older than my 37 years. I used to wear black gel eyeliner when I was younger and it really made my eyes look better. I have a feeling it wouldn't look quite the same now I'm older! Can anyone recommend a good eyeliner for mature, hooded eyes and a technique to apply it?

I find ignoring any standard tutorials and just drawing it on with my eye open works the best - I used to be able to do it with my eye closed but now I need it to be open so it looks right when my eyes are open (if you see what I mean - just that drawing the standard shape doesn’t give the right result any more). A more liquidy eyeliner pen with a fine brush (not felt tip type) helps with being able to be accurate. I have had to relearn every few months as my face continues its slow disintegration!

I have hooded eyes and have pretty much given up on eyeliner but this is pretty good

I tend to just use this

and only along the waterline - the problem with hooded eyes is that there isn’t enough space to fit eyeliner in.

I think to make hooded eyes bigger it’s about eyeshadow and mascara application, especially the cut crease technique.

Black magic is the eyeliner I use too btw - clearly a winner for hooded eyes!

I have slightly hooded eyes and only do the eyeliner on the outer corners...if I do it all the way across I lose my lid and it smudges like crazy. If you google the Pixiwoo Angeline Jolie makeup video there's a really good demo there.

I've given up trying. I've got hooded eyelids and they droop down beyond the end of my eye.

I now tightline the upper lash line to make my eyelashes look fuller instead.

I just concentrate on the lashes now. Liner makes it look worse.

Tight-ish line outer two thirds top and bottom, no flick just join up top and bottom slightly extended, lots of tubing curling mascara imho.

Katie Jane Hughes is a make up artist on Instagram who gives lots of advice specifically around eyeliner shapes for hooded eyes.
Worth a look.

I use wunderbrow eyiner as its the only one I've found that doesn't transfer to my eyelids but its pricey so I only wear it for occasions. Google hooded eye tutorials, there is a totally different technique esp if you want the cat flick eyeliner look.

After trying lots of different eye liners, i found one that doesn't budge or transfer as long as you let it dry, infact I have a hard time removing it at the end of the day, it a mac one, someone on here recommended it, its the best one I have tried that lasts all day.

Following with interest as I have the same issue.

Katie Jane Hughes is great
