Slay the Hood

Hooded eyes do not need to be fixed. They need to be understood.

SLAY THE HOOD is a professional beauty education e-book designed to teach you how to work with hooded eyes instead of fighting against their natural structure.

This is not another collection of generic hooded-eye makeup tips. You will learn how to read the eye, understand the hood, manipulate placement, and create makeup based on what is actually visible when the eye is open.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• How to identify different degrees of hooding
• How to map makeup with the eye open
• How to manipulate the appearance of the hood through strategic placement
• How to properly prep hooded eyes
• Why you should Tap Before You Set
• Why eyeshadow base should be set with eyeshadow, not setting powder
• How to create beautifully blended eyes without losing your work inside the fold
• How to map and create a visible cut crease
• How to help prevent cut crease transfer
• How to create the signature Open Wing technique for hooded eyes
• How liner and lashes can either enhance or consume limited visible lid space
• How to work with asymmetrical hoods
• How to troubleshoot common hooded-eye makeup problems
• How to create visual balance instead of blindly following the natural anatomy of the eye

The goal is not to make hooded eyes look like another eye shape.

The goal is to understand where the makeup needs to live in order to be seen.

Whether you’re a makeup artist working with clients or someone ready to finally understand your own hooded eyes, SLAY THE HOOD gives you the blueprint.

Stop fighting the fold. Learn how to manipulate it.
