Proper Winged Eyeliner for Hooded Eyes

Hi besties, Veronique here! Have you ever wondered if you are doing your winged eyeliner properly? Well worry no more because this post is perfect for my besties with hooded eyes. Continue reading for the tutorial!

🎀 WHAT IS A HOODED EYE?

While there’s a spectrum from slightly to very hooded, a hooded eye describes the eye shape that sees almost all lid space covered when your eyes are open. Rather than exposing the lid, the skin around your eyes folds over your crease, showing not much more than your lash line. They’re genetic and completely normal, but can also develop with age.

As this creates a fold at the outer corner of your eye, a wing drawn on while your eyes are closed can be warped by the movement of the skin into that fold. It’s not the worst thing in the world, but, with a little technique, can be fixed.

🎀 HOW TO DO WINGED LINER ON A HOODED EYE:

1. If you’re a learner liner, hold the liquid for now. Instead, take a pencil or a shadow and angled brush, and, with your eyes open and relaxed, looking straight ahead into a mirror, in small strokes draw a line angled upward from the outer corner of your eye, towards the end of your brow. Stay quite light-handed here—it doesn’t have to be perfect. The length of the wing is up to you and your threshold for drama.

2. Once you’re happy with the wing’s length, draw another line directly from the outermost tip of the line, horizontally to meet your crease. Continue that line across and onto your lash line. As your eyes will be open, and your crease folded, there will be a visible gap once you close your eyes.

3. Next, with your eye open, fill in the triangle that makes up your wing. Close your eye and line across your lash line, connecting your lash line to the base of your wing. You should have created a perfect-angled wing when your eyes are open, and a graphic batwing shape when your eyes are closed.

Xoxo,

Veronique
