Almost no one's face is entirely symmetrical, so I just started looking forward to do my liner instead of closing my eye. Cause how often do we walk around with our eyes closed?
Finally someone talking about having uneven eyelids and makeup omg - I deadass thought it was only me cuz I never see ANYONE talk about it 😭😭😭 it kills me inside when I do my makeup and it looks weird cuz my eyelids aren’t exactly the same
Once I switched to brown liner, I never went back. And since I'm so fair, I do brown mascara too. I did the goth look in high school, but now I'm in my forties😅😅🤪
I have one hooded and one double eyelid. There’s literally no trick on the internet that helped me. I can have one thin line for the double and one thick wall on the hooded to be even if my eyes are flexed, if it’s relaxed it’s still uneven. Then I just learn to accept this difference honestly, my mom told me my heritage is half Chinese and half Vietnamese. Half East Asian and half Southeast Asian, hence having both mono and double lids. I thought that sentiment speaks volume so I decided not to change it. I only do eyeshadow, no need for liners.
Hey, don't feel bad about having hooded eyes. Some people refer to them as "bedroom eyes" and guess what? Eva Green and Jennifer Lawrence both have hooded eyes and a lot of people think they're beautiful! You just have to find a makeup look that works for you :)
Me too, I'm 26 now and after 10 years of trying to to the black snatched cateye liner I've finally accepted that look isn't for me. What i worked out by myself is almost what is shown in this video! Start with a small hard brush and eyeshadow that is dark but not quite black. It's SO much easier to get a nice symmetrical look when you can blend, blend, blend. Also so much easier to fix with a q-tip if you went overboard. If you still want to define it, you can do liquid liner on top and use the eyeshadow-liner like a sketch to guide you. Also pro tip for hooded eyes, always do a thinner line of liquid liner than you think you should do. Also, follow the shape of your eye rather than work against it. I promise it makes make up faster, easier, and so much more fun when you stop trying to fight your natural anatomy :)
Thank you! I also have uneven eyelids where one is noticeably double lid and the other is very much mono lid. I have been struggling with winged liner forever! Definitely motivated to start practicing again.
An ex broke my eye socket and when I did my makeup and it would be uneven (1 eye looks much smaller than the other)I would hate it bc it reminded me of the abuse. It took me forever to be able to look in the mirror at myself and I still struggle making it look even sometimes and I'll have to wash off and start over or go without bc I'm self conscious about it. Ppl used to tell me how pretty my eyes were, now I avoid eye contact most days
That's awful. I'm so sorry. Remember, you are beautiful inside and out, and scars are there to remind us not only of what we have been through, but also and especially, how strong and resilient we are for having made it. ❤ You are strong. You are resilient. You are still here. His evil deeds will catch up with him karmically.. and the love you have given to others will return to you with interest. Love yourself. Listen to the future you, what would she say to you to help you realize you've still made it through?
I can’t wait to try this! I almost never wear eye makeup because I had surgery on my right eyelid. It has scaring and wrinkles that always get highlighted when I wear eye makeup. Maybe this will be a good trick for me.
I also have uneven hooded eyes so it makes me happy to see tutorials to deal with this!! I've figured out my own methods over the years for dealing with it but I never see people making tutorials who also have uneven hooded eyes so I never knew how many other people also struggle with the same thing
My whole 11 years of living, i didn't know i had double lids on my left eye and triple lids on my right eye. That's why my eyeliner never comes perfect- 😭
@@babysherl493 i hope you know ocd is more than just wanting things to be neat and equal, unless you have ocd actually then i deeply apologize but if not you could say you just wanted it to be tidy.
Thanks for covering this!! I had a bell's palsy a few years ago and my eyelid still kinda droops on one side 😭😭 I've gotten used to applying way more makeup to that side in general so it looks normal but using brown eyeliner is a really good idea! Black eyeliner is so unforgiving especially liquid!! I was getting by by just smoking it out a lot more but I'm gonna try this.
As someone with extremely hooded eyes: the problem isn't black liner, it's the way you apply it. Always do your wing facing forward and try to keep the wing straight, especially on the top part where it meets the eyelid fold
finally I am not the only one😢😢 i have extra skin in corner of my right eye, and doing eyeliner clean and nice is sooooo hard to do, i always have to improvise to look decent 😅
Thank you 😭💗🙏🏻 I’ve always struggled with eyeliner despite it being in every single makeup look I’ve ever done! Some days when I wake up my eyelids are uneven, and other days they are somewhat more even? I don’t know how to explain it 😅
Same I have to be so strategic with black eyeliner it goes wrong so fast. And sometimes I just want that rough cat wing. It's so hard sometimes to see other people doing crazy looks and I'm just a poof of shadow and a smidgen of liner girl TT^TT
I'm glad I'm not the only one who prefer to use eyeshadow as an eye liner than actual eye liner. I often fail at drawing with ink cause my eyes are hooded and left has double eyelids so everything just stretches under the brush and it is really annoying.
exactlyyy i also tightline the inner part of just one of my eyes that needs it if i want to have thicker eyeliner. but usually for uneven eyelids i think it's easier or at times better to just not do the inner parts. esp if you got double eyelids that basically erase all the work you just did when you blink and open your eyes. gotta find a way to work around these uneven eyelids 😔
The new technique and brown liner is an improvement. But you still looked pretty with the black liner. I didn’t notice the differences in the eyes until it was pointed out.
Same sorta. I only apply eyeliner on the outer corner because it just hides and transfers if I line my lashes where my hooded eyes touches my lids. I have annoying eyelids where some days there is a full crease and others it’s more hooded
Okay, I love both the black and the brown eyeliner on you. Completely stunning ... But I have to say THANK YOU! I've been trying to match my eyeliner to each other but it always came out looking "wrong". Here all along I have uneven eyes and the eyeliner wasn't what was throwing me off!
ngl I didn't even notice the unevenness at all. I really had to look hard af lol but you're beautiful with beautiful eyes and I'm glad you found something that works for you!
I had an surgery when I was little on my left eye, now they’re uneven, it’s not so noticeable with a bare face, but it is totally when I have make up on, especially while putting it (I remember a friend once was trying some make up on me and after a while she was having troubles and she commented something like “what problem do your eyes have” Ahah) anyway, she didn’t find a way to make it work- and I’m still looking for it, but I’m happy that you found your way to work with it, and also with or without make up, you’re a gorgeous girl! 🌸
I started using brown liner and won’t go back, but for different reasons. I think it looks more natural and tame, which is nice when I don’t feel like dressing up
mine are uneven and I use eyeliner to make it look the same. When people ask me like omg how u get ur eyeliner so perfect I think it’s funny bc they’re not even the same on both sides but that’s the keyyyy
