Hooded Eyes Defined
All eye shapes are not created equal. And when it comes to wearing the perfect pair of false strip eyelashes, it’s very important to know and understand your God given eye shape. One of the most common shapes is hooded. If you have hooded eyes, you know the struggle of finding the right lash styles. Hooded eyes are defined by a fold of skin that rests on the eyelid, partially or completely covering the crease, giving your eyes a beautiful, soft shape. Because of this, it’s usually much harder to find fake lashes that truly open up your hooded eyes and give you that wide-awake, lifted look.
I’m Stephanie Treadway, owner, founder, and lead designer of all Tread Beauty Lashes. Each of my styles is designed to flatter and elevate all eye shapes, including hooded eyes. Whether you’re looking for volume, lift, or subtle definition, the right pair of lashes can make all the difference. Let’s dive into the best Tread Beauty lash styles for hooded eyes and help you enhance your natural shape with ease.

How to Apply Lashes to Hooded Eyes
Nailing your lash application is the final piece of the puzzle to feel ultra confident in your finished false lash look. Below are some of my favorite pro tips to ensure your lashes stay in place and enhance your natural eye shape:
- Focus on the outer corner: Apply your lashes slightly above the natural lash line at the outer corner for a lifted effect.
- Use eyeliner to blend: A thin line of eyeliner along the lash line can help blend the lash band into your natural lashes seamlessly.
- Trim your lashes: Trim the lashes to fit your eye shape, ensuring the band doesn’t overwhelm the eyelid.
