These 10 Christmas eye tricks make hooded eyes look brighter instantly

During the festive season, everyone wants to look their best, and for those with hooded eyes, creating a bright and lifted look can be a bit challenging. Hooded eyes, with their unique shape, can sometimes make the eyes appear smaller or less defined. However, with the right makeup techniques, you can instantly brighten and enhance your eyes, giving them a more open and youthful appearance. This Christmas, whether you're attending holiday parties or family gatherings, these ten makeup tricks will help your hooded eyes stand out beautifully. From prepping your eyelids to mastering the art of applying eyeliner and mascara, these tips will ensure that your eyes shine brightly and capture the festive spirit.

1. Prep With a Luminous, Hydrating Eye Base
Start by applying a luminous, hydrating eye base to your eyelids. This will not only moisturize the delicate skin around your eyes but also provide a bright canvas for your eyeshadow. Choose a base that has light-reflecting properties, such as one with a pearl or champagne undertone. Apply a pea-sized amount to each eyelid and gently blend it in using your ring finger for the lightest touch. This step ensures that your eyeshadow stays vibrant and crease-free throughout the day.

2. Use Strategic Color Corrector to Cancel Darkness

Dark circles can make hooded eyes look even more closed off, so it’s crucial to neutralize them with a color corrector. Use a peach or salmon-toned corrector to counteract the blue or purple tones under your eyes. Apply a small amount directly on the dark areas and blend it out with a damp makeup sponge. This will create an even base and make your eyes appear more awake and refreshed.
