What you need
Steps
Start with clean, dry eyelids. Apply a thin layer of eyeshadow primer or a dab of concealer and set it with a light powder so the colors grip and last.
Pick your base pigment, a warm mid-tone like terracotta or soft brown. Load a flat shader brush and tap off the excess.
Press the base shade across the mobile lid, staying below the crease. Pat rather than sweep so the color goes on evenly.
Use a clean blending brush in small circles along the crease to soften the edges. Keep the darkest point near the outer corner.
For a hooded eye, look straight ahead and find where the lid folds. Place a deeper brown just above the crease line so it shows when your eye is open.
Blend that deeper shade outward and slightly up toward the brow bone. Wipe the brush on a tissue between passes to avoid muddy edges.
Tap an amethyst or plum shimmer onto the center of the lid with your fingertip or a flat brush. Pat, do not rub, to keep the sparkle in one place.
Run a little of the plum shade along the lower lash line with a small detail brush, then blend it into the outer corner.
Finish with two coats of mascara on the top lashes and one on the bottom. Check both eyes in daylight and soften any harsh lines.
Tips and common mistakes
Tap excess powder off your brush before it touches the lid to avoid fallout on your base makeup.
Keep shimmer on the center of the lid only, since a full shimmer lid can look heavy on a hooded eye.
Blend with a lighter hand than you think you need and build color in thin layers.
Use a makeup remover or micellar water on a cotton pad to clean up any fallout under the eye.
Questions
Do I need an expensive palette for this look?
No. Any warm brown, terracotta and plum shade you already own will work. What matters most is blending and placing the deeper shade correctly.
How do I stop eyeshadow creasing on a hooded eye?
Use a primer and set it with powder before adding color. Keep layers thin and avoid piling cream products in the fold.
Can I wear this look every day?
Yes. Use lighter browns and skip the shimmer for daytime, then add the amethyst accent for evenings or special occasions.
