I was Today Years Old when I realized that the reason typical eyeshadow techniques don't work for me is because I have hooded eyes.

Like, I was aware that I couldn't do them, but I thought maybe I was just doing it wrong. Nope. My eye shape is different from the shapes typically shown for tutorials, and that's why I seem to have so much less room to work with, and why my eyeshadow is less visible and it creases/smudges like a motherfucker if I don't use a quality primer.

I developed some techniques with practice that work pretty well for me, but it's nice to know that I can now look for specific techniques for my eye type if I want to try out something new or more complicated, now that I know the keywords to search for.

I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to realize this. ...Would have come in handy during my goth stage.
