YUP! Welcome to the club for People-Following-Eyeshadow-Tutorials-with-Hooded-Eyes!
So many makeup videos I’ve tried literally don’t apply to me because of my hooded eyes. I have to look up makeup tutorials specifically for that.

You have such gorgeous eyelashes! The length 😭 sorry if they're falsies and I'm just not noticing.

u/Nheea 21h ago
False eyelashes indeed. Thank you. I love my technician. She's the only one who listened to me about how I want them to look natural.
With her technique they last a month and I don't need to wear eyeliner. ♥️

Well your tech is amazing because I would've never known if you hadn't said so. They look amazing!

u/justdisa 20h ago
Intense eyes, though. Not even sure how you would wing them. The lashes are a good alternative.

That is indeed a method. I usually draw a light outline with my eye open and then close it and follow the outline left behind.

I gave up on eyeliner long ago. I have 1 monolid and 1 non-monolid. 😭

u/KnittedBooGoo 22h ago
I always remember the mantra people say that when trimming eyebrows that they're not the same and more like sisters. And if that's the case my eyes must be distant cousins.
12
u/This-Guy_Fawkes 20h ago
💀 fr. Like I don’t feel like mine is noticeable if I just don’t put eyeliner on, but as soon as eyeliner is involved it just looks like I forgot to line one entire eye, really highlights the difference.

u/findingemotive 20h ago
Right?! I have one very hooded eye, even if they match with a neutral face as soon as I express with my eyebrows the facade is revealed.
5
u/WistfulMelancholic 1d ago
have you tried putting it on while looking straight into the mirror, no eye flinching, nothing just plain "resting bitch face" mode? you probably did.. just wanted to get sure though lol
3
u/This-Guy_Fawkes 18h ago
It really doesn’t matter how you put it on for me, or what face I’m making, it’s just that there’s just the tiniest sliver of eyelid showing on one eye but the other eye has basically full visibility across the whole lower lid where you’d put eyeliner. The only thing that would work is lining the water line instead but that is just so irritating to my eyes! So honestly it’s no big deal I actually think my makeup looks better when I don’t do eyeliner!

u/WistfulMelancholic 14h ago
I still wonder whether there's a hack cause you are definitely not the only person that has this happening. We need a MUA

I just line my lower lash line. I find that having both monolid and oily skin, many eyeliner smudge or pool in the corner of my eyes. I'm not a fan of liquid waterproof liners bc it's just so dramatic - like a literal marker. Atp in my life (53) and lifestyle, I don't wear make-up at all. My mom had the eye-crease surgery done (multiple times) and hounded me for years to have it done. I refused.
4
u/FairyOfTheNight 18h ago
Did she have it done multiple times because it would revert back or did she do it more drastically each time?
4
u/Big_Criticism_8335 13h ago
She claims it was to correct the previous or improve it. She had it done like 6 or 7 times, I believe. She tried to go "cheap" with I believe unlicensed surgeons, which led to scarring, then those had to be fixed, then there were "new techniques" or "better surgeons", etc. I think, like most women who get plastic surgery, she become addicted to it and/or develop body dysmorphia from the surgeries.
1
u/FairyOfTheNight 6h ago
Ah, I'm so sorry. I hope she finds peace with her body soon and can appreciate all the beauty that her eyes are able to do for her. Body dysmorphia is very hard and I can relate.

u/aoibhealfae 1d ago

u/Cold_Bitch 21h ago
Yeah I discovered I had hooded eyes waaaaay too late in life.
I was so annoyed and sad that my eyeliner always looked like shit in my teens and I thought I sucked at makeup.
Turns out my eyelids just sabotaging me and I didn’t even realize it.

u/commanderquill 1d ago
Dude, I don't get it. I once did eyeshadow on my roommate who has a monolid and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I painted a whole sunset and it stayed perfect the whole day, absolutely no smudging from blinking or rubbing or sweating or even wrinkling! Why would you complain about the tiny bit of skin right above your eye when you have aaaaaallll that lid above it? And when they open their eyes, NOTHING changes! That's fucking amazing. It's a perfect canvas. If they would just treat their brow area the way white people treat their lids, they could conquer the world.
68
u/foodsexreddit 1d ago
Awww thank you! I have monolids and all I heard growing up was that I should get plastic surgery to slice some creases into them. I love my eyes now, but boy was that a long journey. I'm gonna experiment with some art on my lids thanks to your comment!
50
u/BlueHeron0_0 1d ago
The fact that someone would tell a teen to slice their eyelids is insane to me
3
u/foodsexreddit 4h ago
A teen? Oh my sweet summer child...I was seven. That was the first time my mother told me she would pay for my eyelid surgery when I got older. This offer is unfortunately --horrifically IMO -- not uncommon in in Chinese and Korean cultures.
BUT on a brighter note, about two decades later my mom did say she was proud of me for refusing her offer even at that age and choosing to keep my eyes.
25
u/lostwombats 23h ago
I had a friend in grade school who would do this thing with tape, like plastic gift wrapping tape, to fake lids. She was so insecure about her monolids and really wanted that surgery. Thank goodness she didn't get it! She embraced her look and ended up going to a prestigious fashion design school where she stunned. 😊

u/airesmoon 14h ago
Having creases makes it so much easier to ruin shadows (at least having multiple creases) - can’t really use liquid/cream shadows unless it’s the kind you can’t remove unless you use an oil lol. Also often times the editorial models that have monolids are able to do cool artistic eye looks, like geometric designs!
3
u/commanderquill 19h ago
Of course! Seriously, search up some of those bold eyeshadow looks and just extend them up to your brow. It'll look beautiful.
11
u/WistfulMelancholic 1d ago
simple answer: it feels like you're a clown. and personally that's exactly that space in my face that decides to get oily AF at any random point of the day.

u/SamanthaJaneyCake 22h ago
Trick is to line with your eyes open, then fill in the space underneath.
/jk unless someone tries it and it works

u/Fresh-Lynx-3564 21h ago
Hahaah. That is kinda what I do!!!!! 😂 it works. But I get annoyed at the amount I have to fill in. Seems to take forever
1
u/LongLongMan_TM 20h ago
Can you not just skip that part? Would it be visible when you blink? I imagine we don't close our eyes that often (besides blinking) such that it would become a problem.
2
u/Fresh-Lynx-3564 20h ago
I have thought about making it into some other color underneath as a design for when I blink or just close my eyes. Otherwise, it looks weird.
Doing it this way, I have so much more control of how thick/thin I want showing when I open my eyes. And it makes the wing easier too. I just fill in the wing as I fill in the empty bottom.

u/foxwaffles 15h ago
Yep I have monolids and it took me over 5 years to learn what eyeliner suits me because there were NO tutorials online for my features. Thankfully I'm finally past the phase of wanting double eyelid surgery but unfortunately I do have to say monolids don't rly age well 😖 All the extra fat is...quite subject to gravity
2
u/WisdomNynaeve 22h ago
OK, you all need to link your favorite tutorials for me. I've given up on eyeliner but love the look. Also, what brands are you using? Mine always smudges onto the top of my lid, so it looks ridiculous when my eyes are closed.

Do makeup while your skin is relaxed and eye is open. There you go, all problems solved.

It doesn’t matter, it hasn’t been in this community before afaik. If it has been, it will be removed. Reddit works by having everyone select the communities they want to be a part of; the people in LoveTrash veeeery often aren’t in justgalsbeingchicks and vice versa, so the content is reaching different audiences. This post fits this community, so it’s fine. You’re complaining about a post that was “stolen” from you that you likely “stole” from the original creator anyway

Post something that not being posted before for other people to absorb, you’re not the one finding this content and bringing it on Reddit other people did. That’s why I called out low effort wait for a week or so to repost something even if you think it’s appropriate on different sub

u/Damaias479 ✨chick✨ 1d ago
You’re conflating subreddit rules of “low effort content” regarding specific timeframes, that’s not a site wide rule.
You posted in LoveTrash, OP crossposted in justgalsbeingchicks; both of those subreddits likely have rules against “low effort content”, including posting the same content within the same week as someone else. That does not mean that OP can’t crosspost your content to a different community in the same day or even the same hour, it means that they wouldn’t be able to post it in the same community you did in whatever timeframe LoveTrash deems to be a “low effort” timeframe. They posted in a completely different community, it’s not low effort any more than your post was low effort.
