10 Genius Makeup Hacks For Women With Hooded Eyelids

The Tip: Gently stretch your lid to create a perfect cat eye.

Why It Works: Anyone familiar with creating a cat eye knows that it depends on a smooth flick of your liner, but if there’s extra skin in the way, it can get messy. Manually flattening the skin above your eye will allow for more precise drawing.

DIY It: To help your liquid liner (we like: Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, $22) run easily along you lash line, close your eyelid and gently tug at your lid from the outer corner. This makes a flatter surface for your flick to be on point.
