How to make your eyes look younger

As we age our eye shape may change, and many of us end up with a hooded eye shape.  If you have a hooded eye, you'll notice that your brow comes down towards your eye lid, so that your lid is partially hidden.

A hooded eye can make you look tired and older, but if you apply your eye make-up correctly it will take years off you.  Avoid putting a light coloured eyeshadow on the brow area as this will emphasise the hooded shape, instead bring your contour colour further up to 'push back' the hooded area and make your eyes look younger.

If you prefer a natural make-up look, even applying a contour shade a couple of shades darker than your skin tone will make a huge difference. The Urban Decay Naked Palettes are a great option for contouring.
