For hooded eyes: use CC or D curl with a cat-eye or doll-eye length map.
Wispy styles add lift without weight. Avoid flat curls (B/J) and heavy diameters (0.15mm+).

Why Curl and Length Matter for Hooded Eyes
Hooded eyes have a fold of skin that partially covers the mobile eyelid when open. The lash curl must be strong enough to clear the skin fold and remain visible. A flat or weak curl (B/J) will disappear beneath the hood. Length mapping also matters: graduate from 8–10mm at the inner corner to 12–14mm at the centre-outer zone to draw the eye upward and outward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which curl is best for hooded eyes?
CC and D curls create strong upward lift that stays visible above the skin fold. C curl works for mildly hooded eyes wanting a natural result. Avoid B and J curls — they do not provide enough lift to clear the hood.
Are wispy lashes good for hooded eyes?
Yes. Wispy lashes with varied lengths add dimension and lift without excessive weight, making them ideal for hooded eye shapes. The mixed-length spikes also help lashes stay visible above the skin fold.
What length map works best for hooded eyes?
Graduate from 8–10mm at the inner corner, peaking at 12–14mm in the centre-outer zone. This creates a natural lifted result without overwhelming the eye shape.
Can beginners do lashes on hooded eyes?
Yes. Easy Fanning Lashes are beginner-friendly and still deliver volume and lift. Start with C curl before progressing to CC for more dramatic lift.
Should I avoid any styles for hooded eyes?
Avoid very long inner corner lengths (which emphasise the hood), heavy diameters of 0.15mm or above (which weigh down the lid), and flat curls like B or J curl.
