1. What exactly are hooded eyes?

Before you can learn how to do hybrid lashes on hooded eyes, you must first recognize what hooded eyes are. These eyes have a crease at the outer corner, making the upper eyelid appear smaller, and the lower eyelid seems tucked in under the eye. 

Hooded eyes are distinguished by an extra layer of skin that droops over the eyelid crease. This feature reduces the size of the eyelids. Most people with hooded eyes have deep creases and prominent brow bones. Such people's eyes appear droopy and down-turned. The eyelids of those people become almost invisible when their eyes are open. They blend into the crease of the eyelid, making them almost invisible. Many people, including celebrities like Camilla Belle and Emma Stone, have hooded eyes.

Eyelash extensions are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, thicknesses, and lengths. To get the most out of your lash extensions, consider your client's natural eye shape and the type of lash effect they want.

The C curl lash is the best lash to use for a hooded eye. It has a short, straight base with a natural curl at the end, which looks great with a hooded eye and is also comfortable for the client. To perform hybrid lashes on hooded eyes, you should use C curl 15mm lashes and some 3D volume fans with a mix of lengths throughout. While 4D and higher are extremely glamorous, they can also appear and feel heavy. You can use fans ranging from 7mm to 15mm. To create an open eye look, simply bring the long lashes as far as possible to the middle of the eyelid, then gradually make each smaller eyelash towards the inner corner of the eye.
