1. Use a primer
On hooded eyes, the brow bone overlaps the eyelid a little. Throughout the day, sagging skin will rub against the ball of the eye, creating friction that moves the shadow towards the crease. The constant rubbing can also cause the eyeliner to transfer to places you can’t even imagine.
By using a primer, you glue your shadow and your liner in place so it cannot travel. If I forget the primer, my shadow is a gooey gray mess in my crease within an hour. When I wear it, my shadow lasts from six in the morning, even until two in the morning (I cannot give any guarantees for anything that happens after two in the morning as in general life ).
2. Invest in a good eyeliner
Because hooded eyes tend to cause more transfer, a strong waterproof liner is key. Primers are needed, but if you’re wearing a kohl liner that’s meant to wiggle, shift, and get smoky, the transfer will still happen. Go for something waterproof, like Marc Jacobs Highliner Pencil in Blaquer. Spread out the liner in the first 30 seconds before it dries, but once it does, this sucker isn’t going anywhere.
