Hooded eyes are when you don’t see much of your lid space because it's hiding under some extra skin which we call the hood.

Usually, with hooded eyes, there is a fold line or a crease line, and when you try to do a winged liner, it can interfere with the fold.

If you stretch that fold to do your winged liner and then release your fold, then the wing looks distorted.

1. Brows

Before we try the dot and pull technique let's get done with the brows.

You want to create as much space as possible beneath the brows by pushing your brow hair upwards.

First, go in with a spoolie and brush your brow hair upwards, and then apply some brow gel itself that will hold your brows in place.

Pushing your brows upwards will create more space underneath them.

Then fill in just the sparse areas with a brow pencil.

If you fill in too much, it's going to look heavy and weigh your lid down so just try to fill in the sparse areas.

Even if you have low brows, try to push them upwards because the key here is to maximize the space underneath the brows.

2. Primer

If your lid color is completely different from what it is underneath the brows, even out your skin tone using a primer.

Using a fluffy concealer brush, buff out the primer all the way from your lash line to your brow bone.

3. Translucent powder

Then using a translucent powder, lightly set your lids just so that the primer doesn't settle in the full line and crease.

4. Eyeliner

Using a kohl pencil eyeliner, dot the outermost corner of your eye, exactly where your upper and lower lash lines meet in the outermost corner.

A creamy eyeliner is perfect for a look like this. 

With your finger, simply drag the dot outward and upward.

And as you can see, we already have a wing, it's that simple. Even if you don't have hooded eyes, this is a fantastic way of creating a wing.

Now with a small flat shader brush, start smudging this towards the lid to soften it.

Again, if we leave it as it is, it can interfere with the fold of the hood, and we don't want to be doing that.

I also like to use my finger to drag it further toward the lid. 

Although that fold line is going over the wing, it doesn’t look distorted because it's a soft wing.

So whether you relax or lift your hood, it will look fantastic.

5. Concealer

Using some concealer and a flat concealer brush, clean up the outer edge of the wing.

Blend that out and lightly set it with a translucent powder because we do not want our liner to bleed into the concealer. 

6. Eyeshadow

Dip into a taupe shade of eyeshadow with a flat fluffy brush and use it to diffuse that eyeliner more towards the lid, so it looks softer.

7. Translucent powder

Brighten up the inner corner with translucent powder.

8. Eyeliner and eyeshadow

With a micro-tip eyeliner pen, draw a very thin line close to your lash line. It will almost look like an invisible liner.

Then diffuse out that outer edge with black eyeshadow.

9. Shimmer

Apply a shimmery eyeshadow right in the center of your lid to give that pop of highlight.

Then using the lighter shade of brown, smoke out your lower lash line.

10. Highlighter

Highlight the inner corner of your lids as well as the brow bones.

11. Mascara

Curl your lashes and then apply mascara. If you want to use false lashes, go for something wispy, so it doesn't weigh down on your lids.

You can also use lashes only in the outer corner that wing out, so they don't cover your lid space.

12. Blush and lipstick

Now let's quickly finish the rest of the face.

Apply blush on the highest points of your cheekbones to create a lifted effect, and then apply lipstick.
