I am an older woman (77) and have over time developed hooded eyes. I just adore your makeup tutorials but now because of ageing cannot wear quite the amount of eye shadows, particularly frosted and metallic shades as it makes the crepiness more pronounced. I tend to use matte shadows but dearly wish I could do my eyes like you do! Love your beautiful porcelain skin. Divine!

Stunning! “You’re not just limited to your lid, especially if you’ve got hooded eyes” yesss! For smaller eyes, definitely keep inner eye color tight to the eye line until you see where you want to take the color. I learned to take my lid color almost past my socket line years ago and man, what a game changer. If you’re looking to define the lash line, fill in the lash line so the real estate you’ve got isn’t eaten up. Thank you for showing some love and acceptance to this eye shape

Thank you for this! It’s great to see someone promote accepting ones features and capitalizing on them, instead of surgery. Ppl talk about hooded eyes like they’re a problem when really they just require different techniques and placements and look just as beautiful when done right.

You know what? I kind of loved how it looked with just the inner and outer corners done up with the matte shadows and then a bare nekkid lid in the center. There's something so "edgy cool girl" about that.

I’m a person who wears very minimal (when I worked in an office), to now - generally no makeup (permanently work from home now). However, these makeup tutorials are so utterly interesting and are so intriguing to me. I find that it really is a work of artistry the way you apply colors, eyeshadows, blending, the overall technique, etc. Lately, I feel like I really want to give it a try on a personal level - even if it never sees the light of day! That’s how much I’m enjoying watching it!

Literally just decided the same because I'm in the same boat lol

So happy you showed us this! Oddly enough I made an attempt at a halo eye look for my hooded eyes over the weekend. I didn't consider blowing out the eyeshadow out for the outer-v. I've always brought eyeshadow on the inner corner further up but never knew if it looked "right", this was reassuring for someone clueless about makeup like me lol.

Yes, this would be amazing! Tati Westbrook is a good person for over 40 looks as well, although she doesn't bring the drama the way Alexandra does.

Realizing that it's not only East Asians who can have hooded eyes and that I am in fact one of the many caucasians whose eyes are hooded was FREEING (because I finally understood why so many makeup looks didn't seem to work on me) and also DEPRESSING (because I finally understood why so many makeup looks didn't seem to work on me) T _ T But now I'm on a journey of figuring out what DOES work for my eye shape, and that's been fun, too! I've started just trying to intuitively create looks that feel right to me, rather than following the standard eyeshadow application wisdom passed down from my mom. Thank you sincerely for these tips!

I feel ya. I'm a guy, I have hooded eyes, and thick low brows. If I have a neutral face it's literally last to brow, nothing in between. These videos and, shockingly, drag eye tips help a ton!

As a person with hooded eyes and low set brows, I recently tried out the lower lid makeup look you showed and I was surprised I hadn't thought of it earlier. I usually just blend my eyeshadow in my crease and up to my eyebrows but these vids are giving me so much more new ideas!! Can't wait to try out more hooded eye makeup looks!

My eyes look like yours only the bride bone covers my lid a tiny bit more. I've never, ever, in 12-years, been able to find instruction for this. You are a saint! You are an angel! Thank you to the stars and back!

omg i’m so new to makeup and i’ve watched so many hooded eye tutorials but this is so helpful thank you

This new eyebrow design looks absolutely stunning on you!!

I love the way the bright eyeshadow looks. When you look down, it's the most beautiful circular shape that I just love!

Your hooded eye makeup tutorials and tips are my go to. I'm trying to step up my makeup game and your videos have been really helpful♥️♥️

Talent, pure talent!🤩 I would love to see a double wing done in a bright Spring/Summer color. Thanks for sharing.👍🏼💗

Love your tutorials, love that you zoom in to ACTUALLY see what you're doing, love your tips, love everything 🌷

This is such a glamorous look on you. Love the colors. Also appreciate the hooded eye tutorials.

Very helpful, thank you. If only I had a tiny bit of your talent. Absolutely love the look you got.

just wow, everything you do looks stunning!

i'm obsessed with how you always come up with the most unique looks! literally have not seen your style of makeup anywhere

I did a Halo look today 😍 I too have hooded eyes, so thank you for this video 😁

Such a bomb look! Can't wait to try! Love the color combo 😍💜

This was immensely helpful for me. Thank you so much, Alexandra!

I’ve been waiting for a video like this for years!!! All the influencers did halo eyes and I always felt like my extra hooded lids prevented me from making it work. Thank You!!!

Thank you so much ❤️ I love how chill you are too, so relaxing to hang with ya through the tube

As usual, you're an amazing teacher! Straight to the point, but detailed with the explanation.

Appreciate any content for hooded eyes!!! You Rock.

This is a really pretty eye look. I don't have hooded eyes but I think this would look good on my eyes. I might try it out. I love that pop of blue you put in your water line. Stunning. Thanks for this tutorial, Alex. Wonderful as always!

These tips are super helpful! The content you’re dishing out is always fire.

Oh girl!! I saw the thumbnail, and I said, “oh girl. Yes.” Haven’t watched yet, but I’m excited. Love your videos.

I love that you still show us all other ways to do our eyeshadow

Great advice! Love this…as a mature person with hooded eyes that have become more hooded with age, these are great tips. Thank you

yes!!! it’s so hard finding creative eye makeup for hooded eyes

Thank you for taking requests, my eyes are hella hooded and it really helps to have someone say “just use that other space” because I don’t! You’re the best.

I love how you start your videos. Straight to the point, just how I like it! 🥰

This is GORGEOUS. love this colour combo. More tutorials with pops of colour for everyday in general please.

Ahhhh was just watching the Gabby video for like the 14th time and this popped up 🙌❤️ thanks for consistent amazing content Alex 🥰😍

I wear eyeshadow practically every single day to work, and although I’ve came along way and can make most looks and formulas work, I still haven’t mastered the halo eye or winged liner because of my partially hooded eyes so thank you because this look came out beautiful as always, Alex.

Gurl you're a lifesaver!! Amazing as always!!

I thought this might be one of the prettiest eye looks I've seen. I am new to your tutorials, having clicked on your channel only a few months ago. At 59, I was watching older makeup artists (during the pandemic I started watching KZread and was drawn to makeup tutorials) when, one day, yours popped up. I have been a fan ever since and discovered your "Alx Talx" pieces just yesterday. By the way, I have never heard anyone use the f-bomb so elegantly, inoffensively or amusingly as you do. I love it. Keep up the good work. -Paula

As much as I love all your eye makeup looks, THIS one is still my favorite! The colors, the halo, everything! It’s absolutely stunning!!

I have hooded eyes and I always connected the dark shades because that’s what everyone said to do for halo, but nice tip on not connecting it! Will try next time :)

"Just buffing..."🎨😘 Thanks for all the knowledge!🙌☀👑 I love that you explain the "why" like a makeup scientist. It really helps!!!✨

I really appreciate how you walk us through your reasoning for doing something. It has encouraged me to play around with colour theory and engage with those concepts, developing my own understanding and methodology to makeup 💖🎨💖

Thank you!!!! This look is everything 😩💕 I need an endless supply of looks for hooded eyes, also the ones that have some space under the brows. I have watery/slightly allergic eyes, so what I need also is an everyday look for hooded eyes without makeup under the outer corners (because this part always runs away during the day no matter what...).

Wow!!! I just watched this 3 times. This is the best tutorial I’ve seen. I’ve always wanted to wear a halo eye and just can’t seem to make it look right. Can’t wait to give this a try. Thanks Alex!

This is gorgeous! I love your center lid shade.

I love your videos so much! I was so nervous to start doing makeup because everything seemed so complicated and I was afraid of doing something wrong; but your videos are short(er) than most other people and you keep it real. Thanks so much!! :)

In love with this look babes!!!! Gonna grab that liner from colourpop!

Your brows are perfect here!

This is my fav colour palette atm also. Smokey/lavender/gun metal etc. And it looks so goooooood on you girl! 🔗🤩

Close-set, deep-set eyes here. I have a favorite light matte eyeshadow that I love to buff into that area that tends to appear so shadowed (inner eye/under the brow/beside the nose at the beginning of the brow). The eyeshadow is basically my skin tone, just a shade lighter. It buffs into my actual skin tone so naturally but really helps low-key open and lighten the area. I love doing that, and then proceeding with the rest of whatever look I’m doing. I also like to use that shade to “highlight” my brow bone for a more everyday, natural look instead of adding reflective shimmer. Especially since my brow bones tend to appear prominent without the added help 😅

i don’t watch your videos very regularly as i’m not that much into makeup but whenever i do i feel weirdly at home and safe and calm. you help me relax a lot all while at the same time teaching me so much about makeup which could come in very handy once i get more confident to try more daring looks. thanks alex!💗

Absolutely beautiful eye look, Alex!

Oh thank you thank you thank you. I have hooded eyes and not much space but I really love colour on my eyes. I am for sure going to watch this over and over and try it out. You are wonderful Alex xxxx

LITERALLY Professor Alex! Like, seriously, this video just made do many things make sense about how to work with my eyes.

Thank you! Your very simple step-by-step method makes it less intimidating to try these looks :)

This was just a really nice video to watch. Of course helpful and I’ll be off to give this a go asap, but it was just a pleasant way to spend a little chunk of my evening 😌

Thank you. I can’t wait to try this. I have given up on eyeshadow and eyeliner a few years ago because of how hooded my eyes are. I’ve never seen this technique so I’m so willing to try 😊

Sunning. Absolutely stunning.

The brows girl the brows 😩😍😩

You're the best makeup artist on YT. I've learned so much from you over the years. You're the only artist that convinced me to try & love feathered brows. As ALWAYS, great look, great video! Xo

Thank you so much this was so helpful I have the same small eyes as you with a lid that has little to no space on my lids but this was the best video I’ve seen to help it. Love the eye look so beautiful 😍 love ur videos

Your skin is so radiant! 💛 show us your skincare

I have hooded lids and I am so grateful for this lol, this look is everything I've been trying to achieve! Thank you!

I managed a a halo look today after watching this. First time it's worked out. I used different colours but followed your techniques. Delighted, thank you.

I loved this so much! I have hooded, downturned eyes and I've been doing shadow wrong for a long time. I was told to do halo eyes at a makeover I did years ago, but it never looked "right". This is why, I was connecting the dark colors. You are amazing. Thank you.

I love you literally "I'm still gonna share my knowledge with you" yeap reason why i follow you

Love the confidence and how easily you can big your self up 😂. How amazing your bone structure is, how fab your eye shape is, how amazing you can blend and especially telling us just how many compliments you get, well for basically everything! You go girl. 🎉

Thank you for looking after us hoodies!!! 😊

The whole color palette you used in this video is stunning on you 😍, and video is so useful 😘, thanks dude 🙏🏻

Your eyes and lids are one of the biggest reasons I follow you hahah ❤️

Oh wow, that turned out gorgeous 🤩

i always put the darker color in the inner part like this too. i feel like it goes against everything that i have seen with most tutorials, but it looks right on me. ty for this

STUNNING 😍 This is a game changer 😮

Love your videos and love this look! I've learned a lot from watching your videos recently as I have really hooded eyes and for years wondered why I'd put on eye shadow and then not be able to see it at all. Thanks for another great tutorial xxx

Halo eyes are def one of my favs to do but very tricky on my Asian hooded eyes… love this sm!!

I absolutely love the look and the colors that you used! This was so helpful, I feel like I've been trying to follow that train of thought when trying to do halo-ish eyes but I always struggled with the very inner corner- now I get it! Also your nails look so good

Ugh Alex I love you and your tutorials so much literal queen

It seems so obvious...after you've explained it!🙃 Definitely going to give this a try. Thank you!😻

OMG thank you so much for this video. It really is perfectly timed! I'm going to ComicCon this Saturday and it will go perfect with my cosplay! Thank youuuu!

Gorgeous! 💙💙💙

Okay i just recently figure out (2weeks ago lol) that my liner looks best only in the outer region of my eyes! I can’t believe I’ve just figured this out. I am obsessed with your videos and personality ❤️ so freaking helpful! I’m definitely doing this eye look this coming weekend 😂

Lovely. Yeah, as someone with very hooded eyes (but decent enough real estate) I basically follow standard techniques except moving everything upward past the crease. I stick to a midtone (or transition shade) to connect my halo. One of the biggest game changers for me has been the light colored eyeliner in the waterline, for sure.

Alexandra, your eye shape is pretty close to mine, and your tutorials are so in-depth! Makes my life so much easier. Not to mention I love the calmness and vibe of your videos. And you have a video on pretty much everything... Godsend!!!

I really love this look! Thank You for explaining it so thoroughly. I really want to try it.

Oh my goodness, thank you!! I have been so confused, and nothing has been working for me. You are the first person I’ve seen who has addressed this in a way that makes sense. Can’t wait to try this! Also thanks for the tip about keeping eyeliner minimal. I can’t do winged eyeliner because of all the extra skin at the corners of my eyes, and I can’t do tightlining because it messes up my contacts. If you could do a tutorial on how to do tightlining without ruining your contacts, that would be amazing!

THANK YOU ALEX! I have hooded lids and this video is a game changer. I now feel confident to use my eyeshadow pallettes again to create some stunning looks using this method. Not always necessarily halo, although I do love it, but taking my time and starting at the outer v and blend, blend and blend and then build from there. Most tutorials start with either a transition in the crease which I don't really have or on the lid. Had to add another thank you for the kvd pommade...will pick it up during the Sephora sale. Also would love more tutorials for hooded lids. Thx. J. ❤️

The color of your eyes is probably the most amazing thing I’ve seen today

I loved that look!! You are so pretty!

Have watched Alex for a couple of years and she always looks so pretty and perfect cheek bones 😩 And love you don’t have to wait for intro music, she’s just straight in with the video. Videos are always 💯 😊

I always forget to pull the color out instead of up. Loved the finished look. You're such a good artist AND teacher. Thanks for sharing!

Her makeup looks really teach me everything I need to learn. ❤️

Woah, so pretty! Such a cool look

Your eyes are a work of art

That palette is gorgeous
