The best lashes for hooded eyes
Because the crease is partly hidden, lashes with too much length in the middle can end up hidden under the hood when your eyes are open. Look for styles that are fuller towards the outer corner instead - it keeps the definition visible and lifts the eye rather than weighing the lid down.

If you want more definition without extra weight, a shorter, wispier style tends to work better on hooded eyes than a long, heavy strip - it stays visible above the crease instead of disappearing under it.

Makeup that works with hooded eyes
Eyeliner: apply liner with your eyes open where possible, rather than closed, so you can see exactly how much will be visible once the hood settles back down. A thin line that thickens slightly towards the outer corner tends to show better than an even line.
Eyeshadow: matte shades blend more predictably than shimmer on a hooded lid, since shimmer tends to catch in the crease fold rather than sitting flat. Blending slightly above the natural crease, rather than directly on it, helps the colour stay visible with your eyes open.

FAQs
How do I know if I have hooded eyes? Look for a fold of skin over your crease that partly covers the lid when your eyes are open. If your eyeshadow tends to disappear once your eyes are open, that's a strong sign.
Why do some false lashes disappear on hooded eyes? Lashes with a lot of length concentrated in the middle can get hidden under the hood. Styles that are fuller towards the outer corner stay visible instead.
Are lighter lashes better than heavier ones for hooded eyes? Often, yes. A shorter, wispier style tends to stay visible above the crease, where a long, heavy strip is more likely to get weighed down or hidden.
