Hooded eyes have a little more skin on the top part of the eyelid, and it folds down from the brown to the lash line, making the lower eyelid partly or wholly covered. This can make makeup application for hooded eyes a little bit complicated. Hooded eyes may also appear optically smaller.

Mark a dot on the center of your eyelid, just touching the upper eyelashes.
