The best eyeliners for hooded eyes

Everyone appreciates the beauty of a great liquid line—but anyone with a hooded eye shape will also be familiar with the frustration of both creating and creasing said line in one fell swoop.

But don’t despair—you just need to take your eye shape into account when selecting your liner of choice.For hooded eyes, transfer-resistant, smudge-proof and quick-drying are the characteristics to look for. The goal is to ensure the product will set and stay where it’s placed, instead of stamping itself onto the brow bone as soon as eyes are opened.Precision tips are also advantageous; with limited lid space to work with, keeping the line thin and controlled is the best way to avoid overwhelming the area. If it’s more dramatic definition you’re after, try tightlining the eye first by tracing the inner upper lash line; this will make the line appear thicker without taking up precious lid territory.Here’s our edit of the best eyeliners for hooded eyes.
