How to Do Seamless Disappearing Eyeliner for Hooded Eyes
Today I will be showing you a brilliant disappearing eyeliner and eyeshadow combination technique. This method is meant to perfect eyeliner for hooded eyes, downturned eyes, or mature eyes.
We're often told that winged eyeliner is the gold standard. However, if you have hooded eyes, then the wing can interfere with your hood and look distorted. So, how about if that wing disappears and melts into the eyeshadow instead?
This look is not only stunning but super easy to pull off and makes your eyes look more lifted. Let's get started.
Tools and materials:
- Eyeshadow palette
- Eyeshadow and makeup brushes
- Eyeliner
- Mascara
- Eyelash curler
- Eyelash comb
1. Brows
Fill in your brows as normal. I am using eyeshadow to fill in my eyebrows.
2. Apply concealer
Apply concealer beneath your eyebrow and on your eyelid to clean it up. Set it with a setting powder.
3. Apply a base color
You want to use a super soft shade like lilac to start. I am applying it to the base of my eyelid with a big fluffy brush to diffuse out the outer edge of your eye.
The larger brush helps give a nice soft effect in the outer corner. It also makes the eye look more elongated.
4. Lower lash line
Use the same shade on a smaller and flat, fluffy brush and smoke it out on your lower lash line.
5. Deepen the outer corner
Use a rust-like color on a large blending brush to deepen the outer corners of your eyelids.
6. Apply to the lower lash line
Use a pencil brush to apply the same shade just in the outer corner of the lower lash line. The idea here is to create that buffed-out ombre effect.
7. Intensify the color
Use the same shade on a smaller brush to pack it into the outer corner of your upper lash line.
8. Buff it out
Buff it out with a blending brush.
9. Brighten the inner corner
Use a nude, neutral shade on a flat brush to brighten up the inner half of your eyelid.
10. Apply eyeliner
I am using gel liner but you can use any eyeliner.
Start from the inner corner of your eyelid and work your way out. Do not go all the way to the end. You want to leave a small gap in the outer corner.
Make the eyeliner a tad thicker in the outer part.
11. Make the eyeliner disappear
Use a flat definer brush to smudge and soften the eyeliner in the outer corner.
12. Apply black eyeshadow
Use a small blending brush to apply and diffuse black eyeshadow to the outer corner of your eyelid, right where the gap is.
13. Blend
To create a seamless blend, use a large blending brush to buff everything out.
14. Apply mascara
Curl your lashes and apply your mascara as normal.
15. Use a lash comb
Use a lash comb to separate out your lashes for a more natural look.

Gorgeous!
It’s amazing!!!
Thank you this tutorial.
There are way too many steps and brushes used in this method I only allow about ten-15 min to apply all my makeup!
i do like the outcome look for the hooded eyelids though. But I’m sure I can shorten this method too!
