How to Keep Eyeliner From Smudging on Hooded Lids

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share some tips that have really improved my eyeliner application, especially with my hooded lids. If you’ve ever struggled with smudging, you know how frustrating it can be. Here’s what’s been working for me!

First, using a good eyelid primer has made a significant difference. It not only helps my eyeliner last longer but also provides a smooth canvas, which is crucial for hooded eyes. I like to apply it before my eyeshadow, and it really helps everything stay in place.

I’ve also switched to gel or waterproof eyeliners. They seem to hold up better than regular liquid liners. For added precision, I use a small angled brush, which helps create a clean line that doesn’t budge. If you’re worried about the liner transferring, setting it with a little eyeshadow in a matching shade can be a game changer.

What products or techniques have worked for you to keep eyeliner intact on hooded lids? Are there any specific brands you swear by? I’d love to hear your suggestions!
