Hooded eyes often make shadows fade and liners look heavy, but with the right placement and technique they can appear lifted and bright. Makeup artist Laura Geller explains that the secret lies in targeting a shade slightly above the natural crease to create a subtle, higher line that remains visible when the eye opens.
Using neutral earth tones such as taupes and browns adds depth without overwhelming the area. Blending the product upward instead of outward gives a lifted effect, while keeping the overall look wearable and natural.
