Who doesn’t want a smoldering sexy, smoky eye look at some point in their lives? If you haven’t been able to give it a go this year or ever in life, the upcoming New Year’s celebration is a valid enough excuse to step up your glam game. Although a smoky eye is a classic way to get a sultry smize, one common hiccup that many people have is that their hooded eye shape won’t be flattering when paired with all the deep eyeshadow hues, liner, and heavy mascara or faux lashes. Well, it is safe to say, that’s truly a myth. Makeup artist and beauty vlogger Stephanie Lange has just the right techniques so having hooded eyes is no longer an excuse. Her latest tutorial shows off a dramatic smoky eye with dashes of metallic glitter near each of her tear ducts and the beginning of each lower lash line.

While referencing her new video in an Instagram post, Lange wrote, “With hooded eyes there’s not always a lot of playing area on the top eyelid, and tbh if we put glitter on the top lid, chances are with your hooded eyes open you probably wont see it (hooded covering the lid and all that stuff) SO i’ve put the glitz on the tear duct and lower lashline instead! That way no matter how hooded your eyes are, you will look AMAZING on NYE! I really hope you guys like this look!

FINALLY A NEW VIDEO FROM ME! So sorry i've been SO sporadic on here lately, honestly ive just been enjoying settling back into living in Ireland and seeing everyone! (and getting over the flu ???? ) but today I have a new video up! Woo! I actually filmed it before i left Australia, but I had to stay up all last night editing it to get it up in time for New Years Eve! So yep, as you guessed this is my New Years Eve makeup look! However, i've done it specifically for those of you with hooded eyes! With hooded eyes there's not always a lot of playing area on the top eyelid, and tbh if we put glitter on the top lid, chances are with your hooded eyes open you probably wont see it (hooded covering the lid and all that stuff) SO i've put the glitz on the tear duct and lower lashline instead! That way no matter how hooded your eyes are, you will look AMAZING on NYE! I really hope you guys like this look! The direct link to the video is up in my bio!
