Makeup can sometimes crease in the folds, making application trickier when dealing with hooded eyelids. While the shape of hooded lids presents certain makeup challenges<\/a>, cleverly executed techniques can easily reshape the eye and deliver a natural \u201clifting\u201d effect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular techniques for this is called \u201chalo eyes.\u201d<\/strong> Widely shared on social media, halo eyes create the illusion of larger, brighter eyes. In an Instagram video, a makeup artist demonstrates step-by-step how easy it is to master this soft glam trick. Here are her quick tips to lift hooded eyelids in just minutes.<\/p>\n

“Halo Eyes”: Makeup Artists\u2019 Favorite Trick for Lifting Hooded Eyelids<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Makeup artist Mich\u00e8le Clausen<\/em>, known for sharing expert tips for hooded eyes<\/a>, posts easy tutorials online. In a recent video, she shows how to create the trending halo eyes<\/strong> style. The technique is simple: apply a darker eyeshadow to the inner and outer corners, then use a lighter, luminous shade in the center to open the eyes.<\/p>\n

For best results, she recommends neutral, soft tones and thorough blending to ensure a smooth color transition with no harsh lines. By placing a subtle glow in the middle of the lid, eyes appear more open, lifted, and youthful. The result, as demonstrated in her tutorial, is quite impressive.<\/p>\n

Hooded Eyes After 50: How Mascara Application Makes All the Difference<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unlike traditional mascara routines that emphasize sweeping product on the outer lashes to elongate the eye, when you’re over 50<\/a>, experts suggest focusing mascara application predominantly at the center<\/strong> of the lash line. Concentrating mascara here creates an illusion of open-eyed verticality, effectively eliminating heaviness and visually correcting drooping eyelids.<\/p>\n

Start your mascara application by carefully coating the root of your lashes to add strength and definition. Then, reinforce the center section by gently zig-zagging the brush upward to create a natural lift and extra curl.<\/p>\n

Avoid applying excess mascara toward the outer lashes, as this exaggerates the appearance of drooping. Additionally, choose a lengthening and curl-enhancing mascara rather than a high-volume formula, as thicker mascaras tend to weigh down lashes, making eyelids appear heavier. For optimal results, use an eyelash curler beforehand.<\/p>\n

Opt for black or deep-brown mascara to enhance eye definition without creating too harsh a look. Finally, apply mascara to lower lashes sparingly, focusing only on the center to keep balance and avoid a weighted-down effect. These subtle adjustments will effortlessly result in a fresher, more lifted, and youthful-looking gaze.<\/p>\n
