It’s primarily eyes! Everything around my eyes, I have down pat. But eyes, I have no fucking idea what to do with. All I know to do is to take my eyeshadow from my lashes to my eyebrows, but every time I do that, I feel like I turn into a clown!

Okay so! With hooded eyes (and I don’t know how far yours are hooded which also plays a factor) what you need to do is close your eyes and see where the hood basically stops. That is where you need to put your eyeshadow up to. It doesn’t have to be all the way to the eyebrows, having it visible when you have an eye closed is the goal.

So when my eyes are opened, my eyelashes touch my eyebrows and barely any of my original eyelids are visible (less than a fourth of an inch). I know how puffy my eyes can get can influence it as well

That’s totally okay! If you “feel like a clown” which I totally did a first, practice with neutral colors. I also found that a shimmer in the inner corner and a dark color in the outer one (a smoky eye basically) tends to draw the attention elsewhere. I really look at my makeup to see where the attention is so I can redirect it.

After you’ve gotten used to it, you can experiment with brighter colors and different techniques. Just experiment and get used to it. I promise the only person who thinks you look like a clown is you. So make sure you don’t think that either!
