A Surprisingly Simple Hack for Monolids and Hooded Eyes

If you have hooded or monolid eyes—especially like me, with high myopia and no love for contacts or tape—you know how tricky eyeshadow can be. Even a slightly deeper base shade on my lids looks like I got punched. So for months, I stuck to the lightest colors on my upper lid. Today, I found a weird but surprisingly effective trick: use a fingertip wrapped in a piece of tissue paper to pick up and apply eyeshadow. The tissue diffuses the pigment, so when you gently tap inside the fold, it lands exactly where you want—no harsh lines or excess fallout. If you get too much product, just wipe the tissue on a clean spot or use it to softly blend edges. I’ve only tried it twice, but it’s the first time I got perfect placement in my inner crease. If you have a steady hand with brushes or sponges, those work too—just thought I’d share my little “hack.” #beauty #makeup #eyeshadow
