Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have hooded eyes?
If your eyelid seems to ‘vanish’ when you look straight ahead, you probably have hooded eyes. Check in the mirror: if most of your upper eyelid is hidden by skin from the brow bone, that’s a classic hooded shape. You might also notice a soft fold resting over your lash line, or notice makeup transferring onto it.
What are the best false lashes for hooded eyes?
The best lashes for hooded eyes are those that aren’t overly dense. You want to shop for fake lashes that come with a flattering curl to lift the lash line. Shorter inner corners with length and fluff towards the centre or outer edge help eyes look more open, not heavy.
Which lash styles make hooded eyes look bigger and more lifted?
Lashes for hooded eyes should have a brightening effect, so you’ll want to avoid sets where the fibres fan straight out. Instead, browse for falsies that gently fan upwards: wispy, multi-layered lashes add soft volume without creating a thick ‘curtain’ over the lid. We recommend a subtle cat-eye pattern, with a little extra length over the pupil and outer third.
Are half lashes better than full strips for hooded eyes?
Half lashes can be brilliant false lashes for hooded eyes, especially if you’re a beginner or have smaller eyes. They sit mainly on the outer half of the lash line, but won’t overwhelm your lid or touch the brow bone. Trimmed full strips can work too, but halves are quicker to apply and feel lighter.
What lash length should I choose if I have hooded eyes?
For length, less is usually more. Very long lashes can curl back into the socket, making hooded eyes look smaller (which is what we want to avoid). Our lashes for hooded eyes come in short to medium lengths, which are great for slightly extending your natural lashes.
