Hooded eyes fold over part of the lid when open, which means most eyeshadow placement advice — built around eyes that show the full lid at rest — ends up hidden the moment you actually open your eyes.
The fix isn't a different product, it's mapping color placement against the open-eye crease instead of the closed-eye one, and blending outward instead of straight up.
If liner keeps transferring onto your crease by midafternoon, that's a hooded-lid-specific problem, not a product failure — switch to a waterproof formula before assuming your eyeliner is bad.
Save this look for later — pin it to your eye makeup board.
Look straight into a mirror with your eyes open and find where your natural crease sits when hooded — it's higher than it looks with eyes closed, so mark it there, not at the closed-eye crease.
Apply the deepest shade slightly above where you marked, angled up toward the outer corner — this is what will still be visible once your eyes are open.
Blend the color down toward the lash line and out past the outer corner, avoiding the middle of the lid where hooded space tends to fold and smear product.
Line as close to the upper lash line as possible with waterproof liner — hooded lids transfer regular liner onto the crease within an hour, which reads as smudged by midday.
Curl lashes and apply mascara as the final step, after eyeshadow — hooded lids often brush against lashes while blending, so curling first just gets undone.
Because it was placed based on the closed-eye crease, which is lower than the eye's actual open-eye fold on hooded lids. Map color placement with eyes open, not closed, and this stops happening.
Yes — hooded lids fold and touch more surface area throughout the day, which is exactly what causes creasing and transfer. Primer is a bigger factor here than for most other eye shapes.
Blending shadow straight up toward the brow bone instead of up and outward toward the outer corner — that makes the hood look heavier, not more open.
Yes, but keep the wing thin and angled slightly upward rather than flat — a flat wing tends to get visually swallowed by the hood.
