How to Apply Shadow to Hooded Eyes

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Kim with Simply Beautiful in Austin, Texas. You too can make those beautifully mysterious eyes more beautiful with just a few simple tricks. We start with a light shimmery color, very light and shimmery, blending from the eyelash to the brow. We're going to bring the whole eye forward with this step. Blending really well lash to brow. The critical step is to take your neutral medium shade on a fine brush and bring it higher than the brow, lifting your eye out this way to the outside of your face. So we're going to bring it up and out. And then sweep it down. So we have a light lid, a darker more neutral color coming up and out. We're going to use just a deep shade, I like to put a little color, I'm using a little plum, along the lash line and in the corner of the eye. We're going to finish that with some mascara. Focus the mascara towards the outside of the eye. So down tips, and up but sweeping it up and out. Look up for me Megan. And importantly I think with hooded eyes we want to get the bottom lashes in the center. So by doing that we're really going to open those eyes out. The trick to achieving beautiful eyes when they're hooded is just bringing them up and out. Minimizing the eyeliner on the lid of the eye."
