Hooded Eye Makeup Advice

for those of you who wear eyeliner and eye makeup and stuff but also have hooded eyes, how do you keep it from smearing and rubbing off? i've tried transluscent powder and setting spray but nothing has worked yet!!

no matter what, youre going to have a little bit of product transference. but, what i have found helps, is if you put your concealer or foundation on your lids, set those with powder asap, then do your eyeshadow on top, that typically does a decent job. i dont usually do another round of powder on top of the eyeshadow cus i want the black to be dark as possible, but that can be double effective. also, i just try to make really big black eyeshadow so that it matters a littleeee less. i don't experiment much with multiple colors in an eyeshadow yk so idk how affective it is with stuff you really really dont want to blend. hope this helps!

My eyes are REALLY hooded. If I make a wing that overlaps the crease, my liner bleeds into the crease. I default to two different eyeliner styles because of that. 

I can't for the life of me find a good pic of the first style, so I drew it.

First, I do everything in red in this pic. Here's the trick, NOTHINGGGG can overlap with my crease, or after an hour my eyelids will basically chew up and spit out my makeup. It gets SO smudged. As long as I just do the outer edge of my eye, it lasts all day.

Next, the pink part. I decide how far under my eye I want it to extend. I go for a droopy look, but you can get away with doing it way thinner too. It's all about whatever suits your eye shape.

Lastly, the blue part which is self explanatory. Connect everything together. I've done a lot of thicknesses and wing shapes but I just prefer heavier liner. You can do more casual makeup like this too tho.

When I saw I can't find a good pic of it, I mean this is the one example I could easily find LMAO. Obviously this is really dramatic, it was for Halloween haha

So the other style is less versatile and I didn't check what your personal style is first, but this is for big heavy eyeliner.

You gotta line all the way AROUND your crease. Fill it in with liquid liner. I use elf, idk if anything else works this well. Next, you HAVE to pack it in with black eyeshadow. Anything works really, mine is a cheap eyeshadow my mom bought me off Amazon.

Again, if it overlaps over the crease, where part of it covers the crease and another part doesn't, the evil horrible oils on my eyelids smudge where it overlaps. Dunno if you have exactly the same problem as me tho.

Bonus eyeliner idea: Fun graphic liner :)
