I hate my hooded eyes :(

[thebamker]

I want to wear fun shadows dammit!

I tried a winged liner today but my lids are so droopy that I don't think it did what I wanted.

[papie]

I don't see the problem here, lol. Your eyes look perfect.

[MWOS]

1. I think it looks perfect!

2. Youtube "hooded eyes makeup tutorials". YWIA. Trust me, I own $26 blush.

[daisybuchannan]

I think the wing looks cute!

I read somewhere that to do shadow on hooded eyes you put the darker color above the crease, not in it. It also said to apply the shadow while looking into the mirror, but that sounds hard, lol.

[leon2]

It looks good on you!!

[thebamker]

when I open my eyes and look forward, that all disappears into the fold.

[sparkythelawyer]

Bam, you did that just fine. Looks good!

[Deleted]

I think it looks great!

[sparkythelawyer]

Its going to do that. If you want people to notice you did stuff with your eyes, try doing something along your brow line? Also, Mary is on to sometime with the youtube suggestion.

I think it looks great!  I have yet to master the winged liner.  My hand is never steady enough.

I see no issue here. Your eyes are lovely, and that liner looks really chic and pretty.

Let me guess, you don't have the children this am? lol I could never get makeup on when the kids were little.

bingo!  lol

[mrsgoontz]

I think the liner looks great! I haven't tried the winged liner yet; liquid eye liner scares me.

[thebamker]

Blather!

[pantsparty]

Looks great!

[thebamker]

I want to try to lift my eye at the corner so it opens up a bit. I did a bunch of youtubing last night and it said you have to start the wing lower than the bottom corner of your fold... but that is like half way down my damn face.

I did it a couple times and it was hilarious.

[LLL]

shut up, you look beautiful! if you want, you can extend the line a little next time.

[cleo29]

You're being so hard on yourself lately, what's going on?  You are beautiful, do NOT have droopy eyes, are smart and funny.



By the way, if you want to see droopy eyes look to Kris Kristofferson in Dolphin Tale.

I can't wear colors either, Bam. It's no big deal.

And that wing looks great - good job.

I think they look great!

I just went and FB stalked you.  Yeah - you have hooded eyes too.  (SISTERS!) lol.

but I feel like you have more surface area under your brow to highlight it and help your eye look bigger.  And I love your eyebrows.

Basically, what I'm trying to say here is: will you have sex with me?

[kcandbrae]

i think it looks good!

i refuse to wear any color eyeshadow or even attempt a winged eyeliner because my lids are so small. it just looks like a mess of black.

You're right.  I don't know what's wrong with me.  I just feel like a frump ass fug face. 

Since my bathroom doesn't have any natural light, I went and got a mirror with a daylight option.  I got WAY too good of a look at my face last night.

[stephlove]

I have hooded eyes too. But my obsession with makeup just keeps me experimenting with different ways to do it. Typically, if you're doing a winged liner with hooded eyes, you have to extend it out a bit further than you think for an effect.

I like colors. You can really only see the colors if I close my eyes, so I just make sure to blink a lot. ;-)

This is a bragplaint, isn't it? Your eyes are gorgeous, and your makeup looks awesome. Get the fuck out of here.

It looks ok when I'm looking down, but did you see the one looking forward? It's like 'why bother?'.

[Deleted]

Omg. I have the same same issue!!! I have been trying to figure for years how to apply my makeup correctly. I am so glad I am not the only one!! You look great, and did a great job. ~sneaks off to look at youtube~

I have the same type of eyes and feel your pain.

[urbancowgirl]

I have the same type of eyes as you, too. I remember when my college roommate attempted to put shadow on my lids before a formal. She was like, "Your eyelids are SO SMALL!" I finally accepted a few years ago that pretty colors and shading just don't work for me. I stick to a neutral wash and a highlighter on my browbone, with eyeliner if I'm feeling fancy. Saves me time, if nothing else.

One of my bffs growing up had hooded eyes, and I used to be so jealous. I felt like she could wear more fun shadows because it wasn't all BAM BLUE SHADOW IN YOUR FACE. Just a hint of color that you could see more when she looked down or blinked.

I guess this is a good point.  I have an easier time not fucking it up.  hooray!

I love having deep set eyes! I feel like I can make eyeshadow my fun secret party. Makes it a lot easier to pull off less traditional shades.
