Stephanie Marie, I’m 61 yo and I’ve spent this past COVID year watching RU-vid videos to learn how to apply makeup. I’ve watched hundreds of videos and yours is the FIRST that I’ve been able to follow - with successful results! Thank you so much. I don’t have to be Cleopatra anymore! 🥰😘😘🌺🌺
Finally! After 40 years I have a cute hooded eye! Lol! BEST hooded eye video ever!!! I just did my liner along with you and OMG - life changing!!! Love you so much!!!! 😘
I find that curling my eyelashes before drawing the eyeliner helps prevent smudging and wiping away the liner. This way you don't have to go back and fix things😉👌 Also it's easier to tight line when your lashes are curled😁👍
Love how u can tell the difference when u had 1 eye done.. After trying so many wing techniques I realized the fold at my outer corner just can't handle it. You and Risa does makeup have the BEST techniques for hooded eyes. Starting at the lower lash line has made such a big difference even with my fold.. And using shadow is SO MUCH EASIER. thank you so much for this as I picked up even more tips. ohhh i just received the MORPHE M412 OMG it's a pointed crease brush that helps me to keep the transition shade above the crease and no where near the outer fold which makes it look worse. I didn't realize how much a brush could help with hooded eyes. I was using the mac fluffy brush but i hope this helps anyone struggling. get ANY POINTED crease brush!! Love your videos Stephanie!!!
Lynn DeCarlo I have have the same eye...I just can't do a wing because of the bone structure of the crease. I thought for a long time that maybe I just suck at doing a wing. What a revelation! Duh! Why I didn't realize that it was just down to my eye shape and not technique I have no idea. 😋
I just found your channel. You use a ton of tricks I already use. And I absolutely LOVE how you are concentrating on a more, every day, "minimalist" approach to makeup. I don't think it's shown enough on YT. I believe that there's something to be said for concentrating more on what you have, and less makeup to create a beautiful look that's just as, if not more affective, then what we've become accustomed to seeing. I'm not saying it's bad, but youthfulness isn't always chiseled cheekbones. And there is so much more to take into consideration.. As for this video.. I know that smudging out a pencil liner isn't necessary, with or without shadow... sometimes you just don't have that time. But I really think it should be. lol I think it makes the liner look more complete. Another trick I will use if I'm extra shaky is, I will take a super thin, straight liner brush to help stencil in that outter line as well as to help connect it evenly, before thickening it up with the pencil. There are definitely days I need help with that. My hands get way too shaky.
This was a great tutorial! I turned 51 in May and have noticed that my eyes have changed (More lines, hooded, etc) I love eye liner though, but don't like a wing. My normal routine is a thicker line across my whole eye, but then all you can see when I open my eye, is the liner. I am going to practice this look, because I think it would help so much. Thanks for sharing!
I have to admit, the first time I watched this video, I was perplexed by this eyeliner technique. Months later as I was coming to terms with my aging, hooded eyes I realized I needed to change some of my techniques. I played around and what I ended up doing was basically a halfa** version of what you show here. I went back and watched this again, and now my eyeliner technique is at a higher level. Thanks again, you rock!
I loved how you got up super close when you did the liner because it was so easy to see exactly how you were lining your lid. Love when you daughter is in the videos...she is so sweet! Thanks for the video!
Hi Stephanie! I have big eyes but they are deep set. Your technique helped me with the application of the transition shade. If I put it too much in the crease my eyes look so sunken in! Thanks for sharing!
Great video. Urban Decay Demolition is my favorite pencil liner. I use it more often than not. It's much less harsh on my fair skin. I'm 44 and love wing liners, but they do not flatter my eye type. I have to do little kitten flicks, if anything.
This was explained SO well! I might actually be able to pull this off , which is super exciting ! I've tried so many different tricks/tips for winged liner and it never works right, but This isn't taking liner outside of the guideline or near my fold. I've started using shadow as liner, glad to know this will work for that too :)
Love this look. I am definitely going to give it a try. My eyes are very similar to yours, with the same issues, but worse! I'm 53 and now have some sagging to my hooded lids...which makes makeup application a challenge, in addition to making me look older and tired. No skincare product (including retin A) has helped much, and I am not up for surgery...yet... so I am trying hard to deal with it. But boy does this suck!
That was amazing. What a difference such little liner made. I have really hooded eyes and will definitely be giving this little trick a go. Thank you 😍😍
I have small downturned deep set hooded eyes and I've not been able to find a way of lining that worked. I am thrilled to find this video. I'll be trying this.
thank God! I've never seen any tutorial like urs with so many helpful tips &tricks. I can't wait till I try it out later on after i put the kids dwn for a nap then I'll have some me time... hehehe.... TO play with makeup! thats girls for yah,ay? Thank u so much!!!
Dear Stephanie, thank you so much for all your work you have done. Thanks to you I bought Armani Tint Cold Copper and I have been wearing it since that day very very often, it is just ideal eye tint for me. I also have the same type of eyes and will try your techniques tomorrow. All the best to you!
Love the colors you chose. I have the same eyes just a little older where I would have to hold the eye to be able to get liner to go on in preferred line.
Stephanie, Your makeup looks just beautiful. Very natural and I LOVE this pallette colours- I'm gonna buy it! I love your videos and can't wait till you upload more! Thanks xxx
Great video! This is something I've tried to achieve, but not quite the same technique. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. I can't wait to try it like this! I have been merely tightlining my upper lid, but feel like it's not giving me quite enough definition.
Is it just me but one eye always comes out better than the other. Does that happen to everyone? I'm a leftie so left eye is better.Also liquid liner bleeds at my inner corner. Is there a product that doesn't?
+Toby Catone You're not alone! It's my left eye because it's more hooded and has a fold that interrupts my liner. My right side turns out so much better always! I rarely take my liner to my inner corner because it makes my eyes look closer together. Have you tried topping it with shadow or using cake liner?
Try Maybelline Eye Studio Gel eyeliner, or Bobbi Brown. I find those have better staying power. I'll also wet my eyeliner brush, run it through eyeshadow, & tap it on the sink to get off fallout. It will create a softer, liquid liner effect.
I just bought Cover Girl gel eyeliner with tiny, tiny brush but it's super thick and wants to go on in clumps. Any ideas on what I can thin it with (just a little bit) so it will be easier to work with and I can put it on more like a liquid??? Any ideas would really be appreciated!!! Thanks guys!!!
I’m left handed as well but it’s always my right eye that turns out better for some reason. I love the gel liners - my favorite is from Marc Jacobs and most people don’t know this, but there is a sharpener in the bottom of the shank.
Thank you so much for this video! I have small downturned eyes and was searching for a natural, every day, softer look to lift and widen this eye shape, but I’ve been watching so many tutorials for downturned eyes and they all used a harsh black liquid liner, false eyelashes, heavy shadows etc. I am with you on using eye shadow as a soft liner because it looks so soft and natural! ❤️ Thanks again!
These are awesome tips I will def be trying the eye liner technique for sure ,my lids are hooded now (30 year old lids haha) and I use the same exact eye shadow techniques you do. Now I feel like I'm actually doing it right after all! But I don't wear eye liner anymore with my hooded lids its just not worth it..but I am trying this tomorrow! I'm so glad I found your channel
I like more realistic tutorials like this. Far more honest as well as not needing to be absolutely perfect because makeup really never is for us everyday girls. Great tips here thank you 😊.
This was so great Stephanie, my eye shape is very similar to yours and this technique will help so much, thank you! Really loving this series and how realistic your videos are!!
I just came across your channel. You've got a new subscriber! I've got the exact same eye shape: deep set, down turned, slightly hooded eyes (with the down outer line thing) that are uneven. I've been doing my liner similar to this for years. In response to the liner coming off when you curl your lashes, I always curl mine before I apply shadow or liner. At first they will seem to get in the way, but once you're used to it, it's awesome! No more liner transfer onto your curler. (And urban decay is my favorite too!)
@@geblankensmith ok wonderful, gonna try this tomorrow !! Thank you for responding! Cuz I have a problem putting on mascara cuz they're coated w liner pencil at the base to a degree that I cant make them look fine... cuz thats the look I like. Not think or clumpy
This is a wonderful technique, and I can't wait to try it. I have not seen any other videos that have so clearly explained how to improve this type of eye shape. Your results are beautiful! Thanks!
Just found your video for downturned eyes. I have been searching for something like this! I know what makeup trick I'll be trying tomorrow. Thank you so much!
Stephanie Marie...try and try again, right. It was going okay until I got to the fold by me eyes. Just enough to make my eyeliner slip. Not too bad though. I can tell a difference. Thank you so much!
Great video!! I figured this out myself over a lifetime too!! I would have loved this video about 30 years ago! This video will help soooo many people!!
This was great info! I have a hard time doing a wing but this looks doable! I do always line & curl my eyelashes because it makes such a huge difference. Thanks
I always struggled with curling my eyelashes after applying eyeliner. Thought it was just me, until you mentioned that it happens to you too!😊Loved your tutorial!
I always thought drawing a flick before the ending of ur outer upper eyelid makes the eyes look smaller. How ever u have done such a fab job I am defo gonna try this.
Love this technique & subscribed to catch the rest of the series. Just for feedback, I personally would have appreciated a shorter video with just the technique itself rather than all of the preamble. Thanks for the idea tho! Excited to try it!
Looks really good. Yay I've been doing it like this for awhile so I guess I've been doing it right!! I can't do what alot of other beauty you tubers do because it looks weird on me. This is perfect girl!!
Definitely trying this!! With the years my lined eyes doesn't look the same, to the point I'm not using it any more.... This could work for me. Thank you so much!! Just subscribe today.... Yayyyy
Great video. I have to agree with you about liner. I have been using Bare Minerals liner shadow applied with a brush for 16 years. They have kind of discontinued it, especially in the good basic brown color, so I have a lot of backups. Prior to that of course pencil was all I ever used or heard about. This past October when we went to Disney World, I decided to pick up a waterproof pencil thinking it would last longer and would be "easier." Boy was I wrong. At 48 my lids aren't as smooth as they use to be and my hand sometimes isn't very steady. I struggled every morning with the eyeliner. It would skip across my lids. When you are up at the crack of dawn or so it feels like and you are still exhausted from the day before at the theme park, dealing with makeup issues is the last thing you want. I also felt that the liner didn't blend well trying to soften it and it looked harsh. It lasted all day though which I guess was my goal, but it didn't look good. I love this look you created in the video. I will have to try it myself. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Leslie! The quality of the pencil definitely makes a difference. Some glide on easier than others. But in the end, shadow is the winner for me! :)
Hello Stephanie ! It's beautiful and very useful!!! Unfortunately, I have wrinkles around the eyes and on the lids, so this method of "false wing " is difficult for me ☹️ . Love your videos!
I'm going to do a video soon for issues like yours. Sometimes the fold on one of my lids affects this for me as well as it comes down far and affects how I can wing my liners. But there are things we can do to lift the eye that don't require quite as much precision. Hopefully it will help you a bit. Thank you so much!
Okay, I've only watched 2 of your videos thus far and I'm completely hooked!:) I don't normally subscribe to anybody but I am going to do so with you. You're a complete godsend. Thank you so, so much! I suspect I'll be binge watching all your vids for a spell.
Very pretty! I always line my eyes (top) because I think it really helps at my age. I have found that tight lining works very well because it doesn't take up any additional lid space, however, I have a hard time not blinking when I do so. Have you ever tried tight lining? Or is that something you prefer not to do? I would love to see a tutorial on tight lining. Thanks.
+TAMMY TURNER I have tightlined but for some reason I don't do it that often....extra time I guess? I can work that into an eye video for sure bc it's definitely a technique that works for many people...especially hooded eyes! Thanks Tammy!
Awesome awesome AWESOME tutorial! I can't wait to try this uplifted/mini wing!!!!! I can just tell this is going to make me love eyeliner for the first time :)
Stephanie what a great way to do the wing I am definitely going to try this Mon for work my eyes are almost like yours so I am excited to do this look 😀Hugs Debbie
Just found this video and I love it!!! So good been watching tutorials for years (plus I’m over 30 and been doing my own makeup for 15 years lol) and feel like this is the first time I’m learning how to do pencil liner haha thanks girl! Binging on your videos like crazy today!!
I totally have challenging eyes! I have a hooded eyelid that's getting more puffy as I get older. Eyeliner is impossible for me (and black is too harsh too because my eyes are small). Def will check out that Urban Decay liner and try this tip. - Wendy
Very good tutorial, perfect daytime colors, I need to get that lid color, I have Laura Mercier color sticks, but I don't think they are creamy enough for easy blending. That wing is so nice!
I really felt alone in that. I like the LM Caviar Stick but don't love it. It doesn't give me that wet, beautiful finish...it looks shimmery yet a dry shimmery if that makes sense? I'll keep the one I have but won't rebuy. Thanks Diane!
