Hooded eye, basic makeup

It is amazing how applying a darker eye shadow to my outside "crease" or outer edge of my

 eye lid, increases the visual appearance of my entire eye. By applying cosmetic application

 for hooded eyes, this gives an illusion of lift, wake fullness, and soft alert to my affect of my

 face. 

To use the term, "I am still on the fence" on using a shimmer or matte base, I miss matte and low shimmer, (soft pearl finish) 

Personally I have found that an eye shadow with a soft shimmer blends 75% easier, than matte shades

The best of both worlds, use a matte base, such as eye shadow insurance or tarte eye shadow pink base with doe foot applicator, a soft shimmer in crease, dark near eye lashes, and matte dark in out V
