You may never see this comment, but I wanted to be on record saying that I just learned more from this 5 minutes video than I have ever learned watching any other tutorial by other RUclipsrs. Thank you for providing useful, clear, and succinct tips to help me improve the look of my eyeshadow. Virtual hugs 🤗!
Yeah. He's not using that ring light in the foreground to give that POP that we won't have on our end. I just had one recommendation for 'flawless skin' and she had up 4 to 5 different concealers. Nope. I have a job where I'm gone 12 and 13 hours. I don't have time for spending 45 minutes in front of the mirror. I'm steadily learning to time my makeup routine for 5 minutes.
Yes! I can't make it through a 20min tutorial. And this man forever changed how I apply my foundation. I wear way less now, and I like my look so much more than before I stumbled across his tutorial. Check it out.
Has anyone else, upon just discovering Wayne’s totally stunning videos, just gone crazy watching one after the other because he’s so wise AND such a kind and loving person? Really outstanding! Thank you, Wayne!
Not just NOW, but years ago I did! He is so talented! I love that even though HE is a professional, he knows WE are not all professionals! Not to mention that he is pretty to look at and that ACCENT! LOVE HIM!
Wayne, I just tonight discovered your channel and I'm almost in tears, lying here in bed watching video after video. I'll be 45 in September, and *please* don't think I'm being arrogant when I say this - I used to actually be really pretty when I was younger. I don't know what happened; I guess just the difficulties of life, or suffering from depression, or whatever, but for a long while now I've felt so incredibly ugly. Your videos give me hope, real hope that I can be an attractive woman again. You make everything seem so effortless, and not just for you - you have a knack for making it seem accessible and "doable" for anyone who gives it a try. I don't know you, but I love you! Thank you for the (what must be) tremendous amount of time and effort you put into creating and sharing these videos with all of us. The knowledge and techniques you share are priceless in more ways than one.
I'm sorry to reply to your comment so much time after you wrote it, but I just stumbled into this video in the EXACT way you did. I'm 36 and for the first time in my life I'm taking meds for depression. I too was effortlesly beautiful but now I need cosmetic help, for obvious reasons. I really, really REALLY wish you happiness in your many years to come. Finding joy in something as silly and trivial as make up is so new to me!! I guess we're getting better at life if we can enjoy what others consider a chore. Also, I think our age protects us from going crazy with our bodies and faces. We already know how we look is not *the* most important, but our exterior should mirror our hearts that are FILLED WITH LOVE. A big virtual hug to you!!!
You have Just described me as well Stephani - I am now 48 and when I was young I was told many times how beautiful I was, but now after dealing with the hardship of life, depression, the death of my loving husband after 17 years of marriage and watching how that loss affected my son - I share your idea of the ugly self image, in addition I gained a lot of weight stress eating as my husband got sick and really did become ugly physically. Once I felt that way I gave up and stopped wearing makeup and fixing my hair, i allowed what i felt on the inside to become my reality on the outside. Some 10 + years later, I have now discovered a Makeup through a friend (Younique Brand) that I love is light and doesn't weigh my face down ( when young i never needed foundation, I just started wearing it, so a good brand was important to me) Anyway I started wearing makeup again, started fixing my hair, watching videos like these, (since may face is fatter and older - i needed to learn some new tricks) slowly I am getting my self esteem back, i am still fat, but baby steps -- I am a beautiful women inside I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN and I am worth taking the time on myself and you are too. So hang on to the hope you felt from this Video it is real - DO NOT GIVE UP. Thank you for having the courage to share your story to say how you truly feel - - you are not alone - please take my hand, look in the mirror and tell yourself you are still that pretty girl and remind her that she (YOU) are worth it! And to WAYNE GOSS - thank you for taking the time to show us in an easy and understandable way how to correctly put on our makeup and to help make us as pretty on the outside as we all are on the inside. Yours Monique
hey, if you still have that inner beauty and hope holding onto your desire to express yourself on your skin, you _are_ still a beautiful person. I am working on reflecting my beauty on my skin as well, as I am overweight, but only positive reinforcement motivates me :)
It's called aging and it happens to everyone. Even if you're a celebrity, you'll see how they start looking pulled up in their 40s because aging can't be stopped. Look at the actress Sherilynn Fenn if u want to see the natural aging process on a once stunningly beautiful woman. I think I'm just going to accept that I had my time to shine and be happy with other things about myself, otherwise you'll just have a nervous breakdown or become an alcoholic when you get older. After around 40 you stop getting attention like you did when you were young, sometimes earlier than that and it will happen to the young girls now in time, there's no stopping the double standard of how men age vs how women age.
Samanta Rizzi Hooded eyes can be very beautiful, especially if they are on younger people (hooded eyes due to old age can be wonky/irregular which is generally not considered beautiful, and also wrinkly). It's still useful to know make up techniques for hooded eyes because then it opens up all other make up techniques which you wouldn't otherwise be able to use.
Kat Jackson Ladies, don't buy this guys bullshit. He's essentially telling you that your a-typical (non western) shaped eyes are not beautiful as they are. It's fucking bullshit and you should stop buying it. YOUR HOODED LIDS ARE LOVELY!
This video is 2 years old but just changed my entire (beauty) life! Thank you, Wayne. Wish I had known about your channel sooner but am enjoying binge-watching your vids and practicing your tips. Waaay less stressful and more productive than GoT. 😘
I love how straight forward your explainations are. I don't have to sit through a 20 minute video that could take less than five minutes to explain. Thank you for being my go-to makeup channel.
I don't have severely hooded eyes- just a shape that I like to call "bedroom eyes" ;) It's unbelievable the difference this made !! My eyes appeared larger, with more dimension and lifted. Kinda funny story; I watched this video for the first time, while on a flight back home from vacation. Using this new technique, coupled with having been away for a couple weeks; 2 co-workers actually thought I'd had some type of "work" done. I was pretty flippin pleased about that.. hah! ;) Seriously, you're the best, Wayne!!
+Kate Hegwood iv just came across this video now, (livin under a rock ) lol!! my eyes were not hooded in my early 20's & when i put on weight at 30 +age made them droop (sniff sniff) i realyy hope i get the reaction you got sweety, when i do this on my own eyes! im quite lookin forward to it, lol! jk i love waynes videos too, just wish i could hug him!! soz hun went on a bit, HUGS UR WAY! xoxo
+Kate Hegwood Funny. It didnt work for me without faking a higher crease. It made my eyes look small and dark, and highlighted my hooded -ness. IMagine small hooded eyes, that leave significant space between lashline and brow. So the small amount of visible lidspace, is very far down. Then throw a horizontal line from the highest point of the barely visible lid space out, and fill in... You just flattened the already small eye horizontally, and left all that hooded area light. It looks awful on me.
+Liz Torres I have to fake a higher crease too. My crease is so deep there's no point in putting shadow on it. I also start a little to the inside of my highest point, and wing it up a tiny bit instead of a straight line.
I've been struggling with eyemake up for years because of their shape. They're very large but hooded, everytime I try to find turtorials online they're too complicated, too simplified, or they spend 10 minutes in a 30 minute video talking about themselves. This is straight, to the point, no bullshitting, and actually SHOWS the technique and why it works. In my opinion I think more RUclipsrs could honestly learn from you. New subscriber, thank you for finally helping me feel confident in makeup.
***** I tried it today on my sister and myself, we are born with hooded eyes, it works like a dream (like everything you show us). I want to thank you for sharing your knowlegde with all of us on RUclips. I used to avoid wear makeup, especially the cateye, feeling like my eyeshape is not normal. But now, thanks to my "hooded eyes gurus" who devote much time on this subject (you and Stephanie Lange ) I am becoming more confidient and like an expert for my own eyes. Thank you so much. Love from Montenegro ❤
So excited to see this video from you!! You are a fantastic teacher and unlike SO many RUclips beauty "gurus" you actually know what you are talking about. Can't wait to try this look!!!
This video is a God send. I wasted hours watching tutorials of other RUclipsrs who just blabbed and blabbed for 5 minutes before getting into the video. This is sweet and to the point ❤️
Oh my god! This is the best look I have tried for my seriously hooded eyelids. Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! Would it work if your used a darker color for the outside?
Wayne Goss you are the genius of all make up artist, I've seen hooded eye tutorials, and your the BEST one ever!!!!! I'm so impressed by you thank you...
That's a fact, I know ppl that are very beautiful but once you know them you see ugliness in their hearts & no amount of make up can cover that up for sure!
Out of all the makeup vids I’ve watched, his are the most professional. Compared to other youtubers he has a non-problematic and helpful nature. Straight to the point. Concise. Explains tips and tricks that work and is knowledgeable in the field of make up and the diversity of the canvases (different face shapes) and how to bring out the best aesthetics in them. I haven’t watched his newer vids (if he has them) but watching vids from 4 years ago(this one) there is a very stripped/ honest and direct approach in his videos that I admire.
Finally I got a perfect tutorial for my hooded eyes and I used it to create golden smudged look for a wedding and it turned out amazing. And yayaye..thank you so much Wayne. You're the best. Much love ❤️😘
I watched this video this morning then hopped out of bed, showered and immediately set-to trying it out. Wow. So easy, and what a transformation. My area between my crease and my eyebrow is out of proportion to my hooded lids, so I've always known I have hooded eyes but have struggled to get the eyeshadow in the right place - this method worked a treat and I'm thrilled. Thanks so much for the easy to follow invaluable tutorials!
Finally a tutorial that doesn’t use a winged liner! I don’t want a cat eye. I want a natural looking, slight lift. You’ve done it! Finally after 30+ years of wearing makeup a simple straight line vs an arch blending gave me the lift I’ve longed for. Bravo, Wayne Goss. Bravo!
I'm so excited to try this that i can't wait until tomorrow! almost midnight and i washed and moisturized my face already. I just cant wait though. LOL
Oh, yeah! I totally wish I had one of those, not just on the vanity but also inside my purse to take everywhere I go. I bet he has lots of friends because he seems to be one of those people who would make a really good friend. A good friend with awesome makeup advice - jackpot!
I don't turn to anyone else on youtube for makeup techniques but you...your a diamond in the rough Wayne!!!!! I use to do my makeup like a youtuber and i always looked horrible in my makeup until i discovered you years ago& now i got compliments daily.YOUR AMAZING
Love this! I have hooded, deep set eyes and low brows.. so usually when I wear eyeshadow my eyes look really dark even though they're green. So I usually just wear a neutral base shadow.. but this is brilliant! I'm going to give this a try today!
OMG thank you. I have been so frustrated with "hooded eye" tutorials that want me to try to arch eyeshadow above my hood. It looks rediculous on me. This is perfect.
This was so great! I’ve been using a pretty color of blush from Tarte as eyeshadow. I work 13 hour shifts and elaborate make up goes away quickly. So, foundation - I love Luscious Camera Stick. I don’t need concealer and I forget I’m wearing make up. I curl eyelashes, eyeliner and mascara and use my finger to pat on the blush on my eyelid and blend it out and I get CRAZY compliments. I’m going to use this trick while doing that. Thank you!
I know I'm commenting on an old video, but I just wanted to let you know that this technique is amazing! I finally got the chance to try it out the other day and it really lifted my eyes. My husband even noticed! Thank you for sharing this valuable tip.
I have been watching your videos for sometime now and I want to thank you for your input on hooded eyes and tips in general. I have a terrible time with make-up since I've gotten older. You've helped so much.
.... Wayne.... I love this technique... Although I just watched this ,... I've actually been doing my eyeshadow like this for .... Hmmm. I'm now 65, sooo, it's been over 25 years, lol.... To me, it never went out of style! Thanks so much for sharing this, I love your channel, and how wonderfully you do these tutorials .
I never knew why my eye shape was called. One day I googled it. Along with hooded eyes I’ve also got a pretty low eyebrow bone. :( so not much space for anything there. I’ve never been able to get creative like everyone else with all these wonderful colors or smoky eyes. I’ve always kept it simple with a thin line of eyeliner. I look forward to trying this technique in the future. Hopefully I don’t come out looking like a raccoon. :P haha.
I have the same problem! There are so many make-up tutorial videos that Ive watched that had to go down the drain, its not so easy with this eyes, its like we have to use ultra thin brushes or something !!
I feel the same way. I hate my eyes so much! I went out and bought all these pretty palettes and every tutorial I follow, I cannot do correctly. It makes me very depressed because I can't afford eyelid surgery to feel better about myself and to be able to create these amazing techniques and follow these tutorials that I see. I've cried over my eye shape. I have hooded down turned, deep set and closed set eyes. Pretty much everything wrong with your eyes to make make up difficult I have. There's barely any space to work with at all unless I put everything on the outside corner where it can actually be seen. I have looked everywhere on RUclips and I cannot seem to find any tutorials that have someone doing make up with my actual eye shape. I feel like an alien! I hope this technique works for me because I've tried hundreds with no success. I'm subscribed to every hooded eye make up guru on RUclips. It's sad because they may have slightly hooded eyes, but they still have lots of space to work with, unlike me. Sorry so long. I just had to vent. This subject makes me so depressed. I wish I could just accept my ugly eye shape, but I dislike sticking with one color. I want to get creative. 😭
Great lesson, Wayne. I am 51 year old woman, and I learn so much more from you than anyone else. I basically do the same as you demonstrated but I go higher in one eye than the other, because one eye is more hooded than the other. Thank you so much for the lesson. You ROCK!
This video made a world of difference. It really brightened up my face and made my eyes open up. I don't look like I'm frowning anymore. Thank you so much!
Wayne. You've changed everything for me. I could cry right now. I have struggled with this so much and watched dozens of videos and nothing has worked. You're a genius. *subbed for life*.
this video changed my life. The tutorial is the best I've seen for hooded eyes, thank you! None of the bs time wasting crap you see with other videos! :)
Thank you so much for this. I have learned more in a few minutes than after years watching neverending tutorials about how to make up hooded eyes. And your eyes are just beautiful, by the way. Thank you!!
I totally agree Mary Ellen! Now if Wayne would give us a tutorial on disguising my jowls...they run in my father's family, but I was still shocked when I got them, lol.
***** Amy. I have been using this technique for the past 10 years. That is when I noticed the downward turn. I have demonstrated it before on a video, or two, but I can remember which ones. But, for you, I will do it again. Enjoy the weekend, my dear friend. Blessings......MaryEllen
Wow!! Really beautiful technique; I'm going to try!! I have hooded eyes, but not completely hooded (where the skin totally overlaps on the eyelid). Thanks for this great tip!! :-)
I just randomly stumbled across this and it’s easily one of the best and easiest to understand tutorials for hooded eyes. I cannot wait to try this technique
Dear Mr. Goss, As a 37 year old woman who has always struggled with eye make up I can say THANK YOU for this video! I finally enjoy my make up routine and I am pleased with the results. THANK YOU, SIR!
Well I subscribed, your brilliant tips and wonderful down to earth manner on screen won me over....the only downside? Why do men look so much more beautiful with make-up on than women? The bane of my life...your jzst too pretty Mr Goss! Seriously though I love your videos and they have reminded me of tricks I used years ago and have forgotten. .I'm just loving watching all your vids, you've even inspired me to start using more than the bare minimum of makeup and I actually got complimented more than once today...thank you for reconnecting me with my youth! and Happy New year btw! You deserve all the Health, happiness and prosperity going for brightening up so many people's lives. And you are better to look at than the ladies who do make up on the Internet!
I'm glad to see this I'm 46 and learning new things all the time. I'm learning to contour (my 20 year old is teaching me!), and now to disguise my hooded eyes. thank you.
I just turned 60 and I teach a make-up class at Twin Towers Jail in Downtown Los Angeles to give back in honor, the wonderful life I have created with God's help. This straight line stencil lesson, I show every other month. Thank you, Wayne. I love every single cell and atom who makes you who you are. You are a wonderful teacher and have many students whose lives can improve, starting from feeling good about themselves with a little make-up and a smile. Elaine Baer, Malibu
Wayne!!!! This technique has been a game changer for this 50-something! I wish I could post an eye-before-and after here so show you it took 10+ yrs off my age without looking drag or instagrammy!!!
Thank you so much! My eyes have always been down turned and slightly hooded! Im OK at applying make up but always managed to make the eye look down turned and I hate harsh lines or Un blended eyeshadow so I have stopped wearing eyeshadow and I love make up! This technique yet simple is never really spoken about and this has changed my eye make up game!! Honestly can not thank you enough!! Love you always!! Xx
I would love to see your recommendations for eyeliner in a case of hooded and down turned eyes.most of the teqniques that work for hooded eyes are not suitable for downturned eyes that are also hooded, which happens a lot.
Thank you. I no longer have to watch make up tutorials that have to start with a hype and looong talk along with some product promotions. Thank you for beigh direct and sincerely wise. 😘😘😘😘
Wayne this is absolutely BRILLIANT. I've never been able to make eyeshadow look good on my hooded eyes then I tried this yesterday and wow !! Absolutely changed my eyeshadow game it looked amazing. Thanks so much for your brilliant informative no nonsense videos xxx
I have deep set, hooded, 41 year old eyes and my Covid quarantine goal has been winged eyeliner and red lips. I’ve tried all kind of YT techniques but it never came out even, no matter how hard I tried. I finally did it tonight with a pencil and tape and I did it!!! It looks so good and age/eye appropriate and I’m so excited. Thanks Wayne!!
I HAVE to say, I suffer from the dreaded combination of hooded eyes and low brows, and I have tried at least 20 tutorial videos trying to achieve the smokey eye look (all of which failed, and ended with me looking like a raccoon). I stumbled upon this video while lazily fumbling through Pinterest, and decided to give it another go. The VERY FIRST TRY after watching, I looked SMOKIN' HOT. (Pun intended) Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is the video that made all the difference for me. Never did I find you tuber who actually knew how to explain technique. It works for me. I have one eye little more hooded. It really works. Thank you so much. You are very nice and easy to follow, understand and just love jour videos. Usually don’t follow any makeup advice they take up time, are just about bla bla nothing. Your channel on the other hand is to the point. Don’t have all day! I want to see what the point is! Just love it! Thanks for sharing knowledge!
Wayne, just found this tutorial while researching makeup for hooded and puffy eyes. My eyes are deep set more than hooded but with age the skin is becoming crepe like over the eyeballs and puffy underneath. I watched your tutorial because the eyes match mine more than most tutorials where there is lots of space between the eyes and the brows. I found it very interesting and will try your technique. The thing I was most astonished by was how the made up eye color was obviously more green than your other eye which was obviously more blue! To be honest, I found your natural blue eye "popped" much more than the eye with makeup! It just might be a personal preference, but your natural blue eyes are magnetizing!! Here's looking at you kid. (from Casablanca).
Very beautiful eyes, and I loved the wink ;). Very useful tutorial. Can you show a tutorial for watery eyes? One of my eyes is watery and sometimes my make up messes up even I'm wearing long lasting and waterproof products..
I watched a lot of tutorial videos for hooded eyes make up and this is the only video that teach you exactly how to do it. You are very professional and the best at all.
You are a miracle worker! I just found you and already feel better about my life. Thank you for offering this help. Hooded, older eyes are hard and you really seem to understand the struggle. Thank you! Thank you for helping us!
Hello :) I have hooded eyes but I looove shimmer shades. Any suggestions on how I can wear shimmery shades everyday without looking muddy & really bringing out my hooded lid?
+Ashley Kolb Try applying shimmer only in the inner corner and slightly in the middle, just avoid the whole led being shimmery. Avoid dark shimmer too :)
+Ashley Kolb Alissa Ashley has a great vid using shimmer for hooded eyes called "hooded eyes do's and don'ts". Haven't tried it out but it looks awesome on screen.
Goss, you have big eyes, and the top is close to the eyebrow. It looks good on you. I tried it on me, and it did not work. The highest point of my visible lid is too low down, so when I draw straight out, fill in and go over the lashline, it makes my eyes look more hooded, dark and small. It worked better when I drew in a fake, higher crease. Many peole with hooded eyes will barely have any visible lid space, it will look even worse on them!
Wow how simple but amazing,Im now 52 and find that my eyes have now became hooded never had this problem when i was young so happy now to sit and watch Make-up tutorials, thankyou so much Xxx
i'm by no means an expert on make up but maybe it has to do with your skin tone and/or your general "colour palette" (like skin tone, lip colour, eye and hair colour etc.)? 🤔 Like for me, dark colours work really well, but medium or light colours make me look like a corpse, even a tad bit lighter lipstick colours make me look 20 years older 😂 so idk, but maybe that's the problem 🤷🏻♀️

Love how your tutorials aren't like 20 mins long just straight to the point and so simple to try. Awesome job!
I love how easy and quick this tutorial was. All these new youtubers make everything so complicated.
Amanda Beth: agreed!! he makes it look so effortless! I can't wait to try it!!
So true. Big reason why I like his the best.
Yeah. He's not using that ring light in the foreground to give that POP that we won't have on our end. I just had one recommendation for 'flawless skin' and she had up 4 to 5 different concealers.
Nope.
I have a job where I'm gone 12 and 13 hours. I don't have time for spending 45 minutes in front of the mirror. I'm steadily learning to time my makeup routine for 5 minutes.
soo true..they blaah blah so much and I give up..they just talk too much.This video is great !!!!
Yes! I can't make it through a 20min tutorial. And this man forever changed how I apply my foundation. I wear way less now, and I like my look so much more than before I stumbled across his tutorial. Check it out.
I love how this tutorial is actually a tutorial and not rambling on. It's straight to the point. Thank you!

God, you're a genius. Wish I would've used this technique for the last ten years, always been jealous of my non-hooded lid friends!
Kat Jackson Girl I get you! I always watch tons of eye makeup tutorials but when i go to them on myself I'm like dang i have too hooded eyes for this!
Allison Parks Yep...story of my life too girls!
Kat Jackson Britney Spears has hooded eyes and she's beautiful!! :)

Ada Adamson hi
This is genius! It's amazing how the little things make such a BIG difference. Shout out to all my hooded lid sisters! :)
😘😘😘

Using this new technique, coupled with having been away for a couple weeks; 2 co-workers actually thought I'd had some type of "work" done. I was pretty flippin pleased about that.. hah! ;) Seriously, you're the best, Wayne!!
+Kate Hegwood iv just came across this video now, (livin under a rock ) lol!! my eyes were not hooded in my early 20's & when i put on weight at 30 +age made them droop (sniff sniff) i realyy hope i get the reaction you got sweety, when i do this on my own eyes! im quite lookin forward to it, lol! jk i love waynes videos too, just wish i could hug him!! soz hun went on a bit, HUGS UR WAY! xoxo
+Kate Hegwood Funny. It didnt work for me without faking a higher crease. It made my eyes look small and dark, and highlighted my hooded -ness. IMagine small hooded eyes, that leave significant space between lashline and brow. So the small amount of visible lidspace, is very far down. Then throw a horizontal line from the highest point of the barely visible lid space out, and fill in... You just flattened the already small eye horizontally, and left all that hooded area light. It looks awful on me.
+Liz Torres I have to fake a higher crease too. My crease is so deep there's no point in putting shadow on it. I also start a little to the inside of my highest point, and wing it up a tiny bit instead of a straight line.
FlyingMonkies325 Take a few minutes to re-read what you wrote. It makes no sense. Confusing and scattered.
Lexi Hay made perfect sense to me?
I've been struggling with eyemake up for years because of their shape. They're very large but hooded, everytime I try to find turtorials online they're too complicated, too simplified, or they spend 10 minutes in a 30 minute video talking about themselves. This is straight, to the point, no bullshitting, and actually SHOWS the technique and why it works.
In my opinion I think more RUclipsrs could honestly learn from you.
New subscriber, thank you for finally helping me feel confident in makeup.
As someone with hooded AND downturns eyes, I am so grateful for you and always teaching us the basics.
***** I tried it today on my sister and myself, we are born with hooded eyes, it works like a dream (like everything you show us). I want to thank you for sharing your knowlegde with all of us on RUclips. I used to avoid wear makeup, especially the cateye, feeling like my eyeshape is not normal. But now, thanks to my "hooded eyes gurus" who devote much time on this subject (you and Stephanie Lange ) I am becoming more confidient and like an expert for my own eyes. Thank you so much. Love from Montenegro ❤
I tried this and OMG my eye makeup NEVER looked better!!!
So excited to see this video from you!! You are a fantastic teacher and unlike SO many RUclips beauty "gurus" you actually know what you are talking about. Can't wait to try this look!!!
This video is a God send. I wasted hours watching tutorials of other RUclipsrs who just blabbed and blabbed for 5 minutes before getting into the video. This is sweet and to the point ❤️
Sandy here. I LOVE all of your techniques!!! I am learning to do my makeup properly. Also, I like the cute wink at the end of each video.
Oh my god! This is the best look I have tried for my seriously hooded eyelids. Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! Would it work if your used a darker color for the outside?
+Rikki Hightower 100% would look even better darling :) xxooxx and thank you xox
+Wayne Goss how about you do my makeup on my wedding this december
+Faith Katsande he will think about it 😛
This is by far the best tutorial for my hooded eyes....thank you!
l
2.01 in and I am blown away but how much I've already learned. I can tell I'm going to love this - thanks Wayne! x
+Charleigh Best thank you so so much x
Wayne Goss you are the genius of all make up artist, I've seen hooded eye tutorials, and your the BEST one ever!!!!! I'm so impressed by you thank you...
“No amount of makeup can hide an ugly heart”.....
Me watching this video: well I can damn well try sir...
That's a fact, I know ppl that are very beautiful but once you know them you see ugliness in their hearts & no amount of make up can cover that up for sure!
Same 🤚😂
Eyeshadow looks so good on you, and you're so beautiful.
Out of all the makeup vids I’ve watched, his are the most professional. Compared to other youtubers he has a non-problematic and helpful nature. Straight to the point. Concise. Explains tips and tricks that work and is knowledgeable in the field of make up and the diversity of the canvases (different face shapes) and how to bring out the best aesthetics in them. I haven’t watched his newer vids (if he has them) but watching vids from 4 years ago(this one) there is a very stripped/ honest and direct approach in his videos that I admire.
New Video: The Straight Line Technique for Hooded / Downward Turned Eyes...
I might try this on my normal eyes. It look nice.
***** Thank You for this Wayne!!! I Love how it makes the eye look lifted!
***** Thanks Wayne. Much cheaper than brow lift surgery! Still gorgeous x
Thank you so much! Definitely going to try this on my hooded eyes! 👍
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC...You have solved my biggest problem...its a brilliant eyeshadow applying technique for hooded eyes... thanks sooooo much :)
This has become my holy grail for a "night out" look! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
Finally I got a perfect tutorial for my hooded eyes and I used it to create golden smudged look for a wedding and it turned out amazing. And yayaye..thank you so much Wayne. You're the best. Much love ❤️😘
I watched this video this morning then hopped out of bed, showered and immediately set-to trying it out. Wow. So easy, and what a transformation. My area between my crease and my eyebrow is out of proportion to my hooded lids, so I've always known I have hooded eyes but have struggled to get the eyeshadow in the right place - this method worked a treat and I'm thrilled. Thanks so much for the easy to follow invaluable tutorials!
Finally a tutorial that doesn’t use a winged liner! I don’t want a cat eye. I want a natural looking, slight lift. You’ve done it! Finally after 30+ years of wearing makeup a simple straight line vs an arch blending gave me the lift I’ve longed for. Bravo, Wayne Goss. Bravo!
I'm so excited to try this that i can't wait until tomorrow! almost midnight and i washed and moisturized my face already. I just cant wait though. LOL
Carol Love Good luck and I bet you'll look great! xx
Carol Love more inspiration also here :)) lookpedia.net
Amazing! Wish I had a tiny version of goss on my vanity every time I put on makeup!
Haha! That would be the best!
That was awesome!
My life would be complete!
lorenm7 LOL that is hilarious!! :D
Oh, yeah! I totally wish I had one of those, not just on the vanity but also inside my purse to take everywhere I go. I bet he has lots of friends because he seems to be one of those people who would make a really good friend. A good friend with awesome makeup advice - jackpot!
I have quite heavy hooded eyes and this is the best advise I've seen so far... it looks great :)
You're an angel. This is the best technique I've seen yet -- and so easy. Thank you, Wayne.
I don't turn to anyone else on youtube for makeup techniques but you...your a diamond in the rough Wayne!!!!! I use to do my makeup like a youtuber and i always looked horrible in my makeup until i discovered you years ago& now i got compliments daily.YOUR AMAZING
Love this! I have hooded, deep set eyes and low brows.. so usually when I wear eyeshadow my eyes look really dark even though they're green. So I usually just wear a neutral base shadow.. but this is brilliant! I'm going to give this a try today!
Such a pretty eye look! It really made a difference at the end.
OMG thank you. I have been so frustrated with "hooded eye" tutorials that want me to try to arch eyeshadow above my hood. It looks rediculous on me. This is perfect.
This was so great! I’ve been using a pretty color of blush from Tarte as eyeshadow. I work 13 hour shifts and elaborate make up goes away quickly. So, foundation - I love Luscious Camera Stick. I don’t need concealer and I forget I’m wearing make up. I curl eyelashes, eyeliner and mascara and use my finger to pat on the blush on my eyelid and blend it out and I get CRAZY compliments. I’m going to use this trick while doing that. Thank you!
I know I'm commenting on an old video, but I just wanted to let you know that this technique is amazing! I finally got the chance to try it out the other day and it really lifted my eyes. My husband even noticed! Thank you for sharing this valuable tip.
I have been watching your videos for sometime now and I want to thank you for your input on hooded eyes and tips in general. I have a terrible time with make-up since I've gotten older. You've helped so much.
.... Wayne.... I love this technique... Although I just watched this ,... I've actually been doing my eyeshadow like this for .... Hmmm. I'm now 65, sooo, it's been over 25 years, lol.... To me, it never went out of style! Thanks so much for sharing this, I love your channel, and how wonderfully you do these tutorials .
I never knew why my eye shape was called. One day I googled it. Along with hooded eyes I’ve also got a pretty low eyebrow bone. :( so not much space for anything there. I’ve never been able to get creative like everyone else with all these wonderful colors or smoky eyes. I’ve always kept it simple with a thin line of eyeliner. I look forward to trying this technique in the future. Hopefully I don’t come out looking like a raccoon. :P haha.
L O I feel you darling. Same here
I have the same problem! There are so many make-up tutorial videos that Ive watched that had to go down the drain, its not so easy with this eyes, its like we have to use ultra thin brushes or something !!
Hey lots of models have the same as you, just learn to work with it and enhance your natural shape
me too me too
I feel the same way. I hate my eyes so much! I went out and bought all these pretty palettes and every tutorial I follow, I cannot do correctly. It makes me very depressed because I can't afford eyelid surgery to feel better about myself and to be able to create these amazing techniques and follow these tutorials that I see. I've cried over my eye shape. I have hooded down turned, deep set and closed set eyes. Pretty much everything wrong with your eyes to make make up difficult I have. There's barely any space to work with at all unless I put everything on the outside corner where it can actually be seen. I have looked everywhere on RUclips and I cannot seem to find any tutorials that have someone doing make up with my actual eye shape. I feel like an alien! I hope this technique works for me because I've tried hundreds with no success. I'm subscribed to every hooded eye make up guru on RUclips. It's sad because they may have slightly hooded eyes, but they still have lots of space to work with, unlike me. Sorry so long. I just had to vent. This subject makes me so depressed. I wish I could just accept my ugly eye shape, but I dislike sticking with one color. I want to get creative. 😭
Great lesson, Wayne. I am 51 year old woman, and I learn so much more from you than anyone else. I basically do the same as you demonstrated but I go higher in one eye than the other, because one eye is more hooded than the other. Thank you so much for the lesson. You ROCK!
This video made a world of difference. It really brightened up my face and made my eyes open up. I don't look like I'm frowning anymore. Thank you so much!
Wayne. You've changed everything for me. I could cry right now. I have struggled with this so much and watched dozens of videos and nothing has worked. You're a genius. *subbed for life*.
i will try this tomorrow
Try now
Mee too
this video changed my life. The tutorial is the best I've seen for hooded eyes, thank you!
None of the bs time wasting crap you see with other videos! :)
I tried this for the first time today and I was amazed. It transformed my eyes. Thank you, literally doing this everyday.
I've been doing this technique for 3 years now and get compliments all the time. Thank you Wayne
It's amazing that after years of doing my makeup I finally understood how to properly do it by this man.
your eyes are stunning 😍 I learned a lot from this simple short video. thank you 💞
Thank you x
canada person
Wayne Goss I'm confused about the definition of hooded lids. My lids are the same as yours. Do you consider your eyes to have hooded lids?
Katie Cat He said in a video his eyes are standard not hooded.
than you so match
why am i just finding this now? best tipp for 2017 so far for me. you look extremely good in this Video, if i may say
Thank you so much for this. I have learned more in a few minutes than after years watching neverending tutorials about how to make up hooded eyes. And your eyes are just beautiful, by the way. Thank you!!
BIG THANK YOU! I have been looking for this secret in so many videos! THIS IS THE ONE!!!! THANK YOU 💗💗💗💗
This is the best technique for aging eyes, also.
I totally agree Mary Ellen! Now if Wayne would give us a tutorial on disguising my jowls...they run in my father's family, but I was still shocked when I got them, lol.
***** Amy. I have been using this technique for the past 10 years. That is when I noticed the downward turn. I have demonstrated it before on a video, or two, but I can remember which ones. But, for you, I will do it again. Enjoy the weekend, my dear friend. Blessings......MaryEllen
+MaryEllen After 60 I would love to see the technique used in your videos. It would be helpful if you can tell us which ones. Thank you.
jewelnabq01 I will send you a link to a video I did last April, Jewel. Be sure to look in your spam folder. Blessings.....MaryEllen
MaryEllen After 60
This is why i love him sooooo much.. He give me the easies tricks for hooded eyes.. Thank you.. 😻😻
Wow!! Really beautiful technique; I'm going to try!! I have hooded eyes, but not completely hooded (where the skin totally overlaps on the eyelid). Thanks for this great tip!! :-)
I just randomly stumbled across this and it’s easily one of the best and easiest to understand tutorials for hooded eyes. I cannot wait to try this technique
Dear Mr. Goss,
As a 37 year old woman who has always struggled with eye make up I can say THANK YOU for this video! I finally enjoy my make up routine and I am pleased with the results. THANK YOU, SIR!
I always love the subtle wink at the end of his voiceovers 😍
I'll have to give this technique a go!
Well I subscribed, your brilliant tips and wonderful down to earth manner on screen won me over....the only downside? Why do men look so much more beautiful with make-up on than women? The bane of my life...your jzst too pretty Mr Goss! Seriously though I love your videos and they have reminded me of tricks I used years ago and have forgotten. .I'm just loving watching all your vids, you've even inspired me to start using more than the bare minimum of makeup and I actually got complimented more than once today...thank you for reconnecting me with my youth! and Happy New year btw! You deserve all the Health, happiness and prosperity going for brightening up so many people's lives. And you are better to look at than the ladies who do make up on the Internet!
I'm glad to see this I'm 46 and learning new things all the time. I'm learning to contour (my 20 year old is teaching me!), and now to disguise my hooded eyes. thank you.
I just turned 60 and I teach a make-up class at Twin Towers Jail in Downtown Los Angeles to give back in honor, the wonderful life I have created with God's help. This straight line stencil lesson, I show every other month. Thank you, Wayne. I love every single cell and atom who makes you who you are. You are a wonderful teacher and have many students whose lives can improve, starting from feeling good about themselves with a little make-up and a smile. Elaine Baer, Malibu
My jaw just dropped and I literally said, "omg!" I can't WAIT to try this, thank you!
This is amazing! Definitely going to try this. I have really hooded eyes so hopefully this works! :)
Yes! More tips for hooded eyes, please!
Wayne!!!! This technique has been a game changer for this 50-something! I wish I could post an eye-before-and after here so show you it took 10+ yrs off my age without looking drag or instagrammy!!!
Thank you so much! My eyes have always been down turned and slightly hooded! Im OK at applying make up but always managed to make the eye look down turned and I hate harsh lines or Un blended eyeshadow so I have stopped wearing eyeshadow and I love make up! This technique yet simple is never really spoken about and this has changed my eye make up game!! Honestly can not thank you enough!! Love you always!! Xx
I have almond eyes, and I'll do this! I love giving my eyes a more up turned cat eye.
Me too! When I'm too lazy to do a cat eye liner, I just do this trick to lift my eye with less effort 😊
I would love to see your recommendations for eyeliner in a case of hooded and down turned eyes.most of the teqniques that work for hooded eyes are not suitable for downturned eyes that are also hooded, which happens a lot.
Thank you. I no longer have to watch make up tutorials that have to start with a hype and looong talk along with some product promotions. Thank you for beigh direct and sincerely wise. 😘😘😘😘
Wayne this is absolutely BRILLIANT. I've never been able to make eyeshadow look good on my hooded eyes then I tried this yesterday and wow !! Absolutely changed my eyeshadow game it looked amazing. Thanks so much for your brilliant informative no nonsense videos xxx
I have deep set, hooded, 41 year old eyes and my Covid quarantine goal has been winged eyeliner and red lips. I’ve tried all kind of YT techniques but it never came out even, no matter how hard I tried. I finally did it tonight with a pencil and tape and I did it!!! It looks so good and age/eye appropriate and I’m so excited. Thanks Wayne!!
But I still feel silly in red lips.
I'll have to give this a go! Thank you!!
Do a tutorial for us Courtney! 😉
Give this a go*
Jen Hicks I'll have to play around with it first but I'd love to! :)
Karishma Singh ugh typos! Thanks girl for pointing it out!
I HAVE to say, I suffer from the dreaded combination of hooded eyes and low brows, and I have tried at least 20 tutorial videos trying to achieve the smokey eye look (all of which failed, and ended with me looking like a raccoon).
I stumbled upon this video while lazily fumbling through Pinterest, and decided to give it another go. The VERY FIRST TRY after watching, I looked SMOKIN' HOT. (Pun intended)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
*Wayne is the only man I need in life*
This is the video that made all the difference for me. Never did I find you tuber who actually knew how to explain technique. It works for me. I have one eye little more hooded. It really works. Thank you so much. You are very nice and easy to follow, understand and just love jour videos. Usually don’t follow any makeup advice they take up time, are just about bla bla nothing. Your channel on the other hand is to the point. Don’t have all day! I want to see what the point is! Just love it! Thanks for sharing knowledge!
Wayne, just found this tutorial while researching makeup for hooded and puffy eyes. My eyes are deep set more than hooded but with age the skin is becoming crepe like over the eyeballs and puffy underneath. I watched your tutorial because the eyes match mine more than most tutorials where there is lots of space between the eyes and the brows. I found it very interesting and will try your technique. The thing I was most astonished by was how the made up eye color was obviously more green than your other eye which was obviously more blue! To be honest, I found your natural blue eye "popped" much more than the eye with makeup! It just might be a personal preference, but your natural blue eyes are magnetizing!! Here's looking at you kid. (from Casablanca).
Very beautiful eyes, and I loved the wink ;). Very useful tutorial.
Can you show a tutorial for watery eyes? One of my eyes is watery and sometimes my make up messes up even I'm wearing long lasting and waterproof products..
+whatkindofgirlamI me too. allergies, booo.
Your eyes are gorgeous! Thanks for the video
I didn't notice much of a difference but my mother immediately said, "How did you do your makeup? Something's different..." What a trip!
Love the orchids at the back. You not only have a talent for makeup, but also to keep them alive!
-
Bought my first proper palette and I’m here
in 2018 makeup artists just started following this technique Wayne you are always miles ahead love from paris
Finally a video that actually shows me how to apply eye shadow on my eyes!! thanks so much x
I want to know how we with hooded eyes can do a cat eye w/liner. Is it possible? Thanks.
Thank you for this super easy tutorial. You have made my life sooo easy. Leaving a weird compliment - your hands so pretttyy. 😍😍😍
I watched a lot of tutorial videos for hooded eyes make up and this is the only video that teach you exactly how to do it. You are very professional and the best at all.
You are a miracle worker! I just found you and already feel better about my life. Thank you for offering this help. Hooded, older eyes are hard and you really seem to understand the struggle. Thank you! Thank you for helping us!
Hello :) I have hooded eyes but I looove shimmer shades. Any suggestions on how I can wear shimmery shades everyday without looking muddy & really bringing out my hooded lid?
+Ashley Kolb Try applying shimmer only in the inner corner and slightly in the middle, just avoid the whole led being shimmery. Avoid dark shimmer too :)
+Ashley Kolb Alissa Ashley has a great vid using shimmer for hooded eyes called "hooded eyes do's and don'ts". Haven't tried it out but it looks awesome on screen.
+Abeer Eghbaria Ok thanks I'll do that :)
+An account I watched her video, & she does have some great tips :) thanks
Ashley Kolb
You're very welcome :)
Goss, you have big eyes, and the top is close to the eyebrow. It looks good on you. I tried it on me, and it did not work. The highest point of my visible lid is too low down, so when I draw straight out, fill in and go over the lashline, it makes my eyes look more hooded, dark and small. It worked better when I drew in a fake, higher crease. Many peole with hooded eyes will barely have any visible lid space, it will look even worse on them!
h u op u l l
+Liz Torres So I tried this after defining thefining the crease (higher than natural) and it looks great. :) without defining it it looks awful ;)
He winked at me 😉
Wow how simple but amazing,Im now 52 and find that my eyes have now became hooded never had this problem when i was young so happy now to sit and watch Make-up tutorials, thankyou so much Xxx
This video legit has changed my makeup game... I watched this video a while ago and my makeup has gotten better ever since
Gorgeous tutorial, gorgeous guy! Thanks Wayne :)
Whenever I put anything under my eye i look dirty or like I have a black eye. I can't even use mascara on lower lashes. What am I doing wrong? Lol
I have the same problem. Sometimes I wonder if its because my eyes are so small. I don't know.
Deb Pfleiger I have giant eyes and have the same problem :(
I have big eyes, dark brown and I always looked like I’ve been punched in the eye with darker colors. Love his tutorials.
i'm by no means an expert on make up but maybe it has to do with your skin tone and/or your general "colour palette" (like skin tone, lip colour, eye and hair colour etc.)? 🤔 Like for me, dark colours work really well, but medium or light colours make me look like a corpse, even a tad bit lighter lipstick colours make me look 20 years older 😂 so idk, but maybe that's the problem 🤷🏻♀️
I look like a panda or a dopey witch 😂
ooooh I love this! The best hooded eyelid tutorial yet 🧡
I have never been able to do eyeshadow on my eyes. This is the best tutorial I have ever seen to put eyeshadow on my eyes. Thank you so much.
