Hooded eyes require shorter eyelashes to create a more natural look. Thick, dramatic lashes are too heavy and will overwhelm the eye, making it appear sleepy and narrow. Instead, look for eyelashes that are longer in the center and shorter at the tips. Ardell Wispies and Demi Wispies are great options as they are versatile and can be shared with friends.
The best eyelash extension curls for hooded eyes are M, L and L+ curls. Bare eyelashes can be tricky to work with hooded eyes, so you may need to cut back on the fakes you choose. Doll Beauty's Jasmine lashes are one of the most sought after options for anyone with hooded eyes, as they feature tapered hairs and cross-shaped fabrics in the inner and outer corners to truly open and illuminate the eyes. Melanie eyelashes also offer a layered aesthetic with a textured and crisscross finish that will help open your eyes and improve makeup.
Magnetic eyelashes such as Double Demi Wispies by Ardell are also a great option, as they have striking clusters and curly, faint edges made of 100% human hair. When choosing false eyelashes for hooded eyes, it is important to remember that dramatic, long, and thick eyelashes can often appear too heavy and make the eyes look smaller. Instead, opt for shorter and more natural looking lashes that are slightly longer in the center to create an illusion of depth. The length of the false eyelash band is always long to fit everyone, but most people need to trim the excess for a comfortable fit. To avoid this, professionals suggest using a fine-tipped pine eyeliner to draw a very thin layer of eyeliner on the eyelash line of the upper eyelid. Always consult an eyelash technician if you're not sure about the shape of your eyes and ask about the eyelash extensions that will bring out the best in them.
With quality fibers, you won't have to worry about your eyelashes looking fake or ruining your makeup look.
