Best Lashes for Hooded Eyes: Top Styles to Enhance Your Look
Celebrities like Blake Lively, Emma Stone, and Jennifer Lawrence all have hooded eyes and are proof that the right lash style can truly elevate your natural features.
Hooded eyes have a fold of skin that droops over the crease, making the eyelid appear smaller or hidden when the eyes are open. While this eye shape is gorgeous and mysterious, it can sometimes cause lashes or eye makeup to appear less visible.
To make the most of hooded eyes, you’ll want lash styles that open up the eyes, create lift, and don’t get lost beneath the fold. Here are the top picks:
Criss-Cross or Flared Styles with Gradual Lengths
Criss-cross patterns add depth and texture, making the eyes appear more open without overwhelming the lid space. Look for lightweight volume to avoid overshadowing the eyes
Lashes that start short at the inner corner and gradually get longer toward the outer edge help elongate and lift the eyes. Think of this as a subtle cat-eye effect.

Open-Eye Styles (Longer in the Center)
If you want to create the illusion of a bigger eye, go for styles that are longer in the middle. This draws attention upward and opens the eye vertically.

Lash Styles to Avoid
-
Overly heavy lashes: These can make hooded eyes look droopier.
-
Uniformly dense lashes: These can hide your natural lid and reduce the effect of any eye makeup.
- Lashes with a dense base: This will make your lids appear heavier.
Final Tip:
Curl your lashes before and after applying falsies, especially with hooded eyes. A well-curled lash helps lift the eye and ensures the lash doesn’t hit your brow bone or droop.
