Hooded Eye Makeup Technique | Winged Eyeliner

If you have hooded eyes or think you have hooded eyes and struggle with winged eyeliner, this video is for you. Ever since I saw the hooded eye makeup winged eyeliner technique from Katie Jane Hughes on Instagram, I’ve been doing that “batwing” liner technique using either gel eyeliner or eyeshadow with an angled eyeshadow brush. I think I may have found an even better and easier eyeliner tip. I saw it on TikTok and had to try immediately against the original hooded eye makeup technique. Honestly, going down with the eyeliner instead of up, is genius!

I scratched my left eye (your right) on accident before filming the video. In case you were wondering why my eye kept getting more irritated throughout the video lol.

I saw so many techniques for hooded eyes, and I think it's worth a mention that a lot depends on if the outer corner of your eye itself is going upward or downward as well as how the hood is placed. For some combinations, there is no eyeliner technique that works...
Mila has absolutely beautiful, deep set eyes but in my opinion the "hood" comes from the socket placement and not from "excess" eyelid skin.

As a fellow hooded eye gal I both use and love these 2 techniques daily Thank you Mila for demonstrating these beautiful looks for us ❤️

Hooded eyes and deep set eyes are pretty similar. Deep set eyes can become hooded as you age. However, hooded eyes tend to be more severe and these techniques may not be as helpful if the overhang covers majority of the eyelid.

I always do the bat wing technique, love it

I think you have more deep set eyes, not hooded.
But the eyeliner looks bomb regardless!

#2 really opened up your eye! I will have to try this!

I like both, I will give it a try. I have hooded eyes, and I'm always looking for improvement on my current technique.

Love your look especially your brows! I just turned 53 and cannot do winged liner to save my life, no matter how many different ways I do it. Definitely trying these techniques! Thank you 🥰

I like technique #1 better. The 2nd looks weird imo. I have very hooded eyes so I’ve never been able to wear winged eye liner because it always looks weird and gets messy. I’m definitely going to try this technique out. I have hope!! Thank you for sharing it.

[kathymills]

I agree. The new technique looks more natural ❤️

[jenniferferreira]

When you said “OH BOY” the first thing I thought, was Andre always says that 😂. I like #1. It makes your eye look bigger ❤

[neutral.chaotic]

i'm gonna try the first technique tomorrow! I find that when I do liner over the entire top of my lashline, it closes my eyes off even more. so I really like the first technique. Thank you so much!!!

[YuNis]

I just realized I was doing different techniques trying to apply the first one but ending with a small difference on each eye haha, just like you did. I definitely keep the first one, to get a dramatic look it’s just to get the line bolder and longer but same technique 😊❤

I prefer 1! And thank you for showing me how to put eyeliner on my hooded eyes!! You're amazing! -Mia

[lauraellerman]

I’m so glad you did this video / I like both and totally agree daytime look is first technique

[tamarapace]

I think the 2nd technique lifts the eye more. Thanks for the comparison.

[leticiacappozzi]

Your eyes have just the most beautiful color ever!

[Squeak]

I honestly think your left eye, on the right for us, is so much better looking. No comparison to me. Technique #2 winner.

I love the second technique most. Sadly my hood goes passed where the corner of my eyes are so I haven’t found any trick for winged liner with my eyes lol

Great video it couldn’t have come at a better time! I’m going to Puerto Rico for a wedding and want to really do up my eyes.
