You just need to create a crease higher up, do it while your eyes are open, then just blend. Look on YouTube I'm sure pixiwoo have a tutorial or Lisa Eldridge

Also for special nights out you can get stickers that go in your crease to give you bigger eyelids

Hooded eyes suck alright, I got 'em too.

To create a decent smokey eye, you'll need to create a false crease above your natural. It will give the delusion of a higher crease.

If you wanna open your eye up use the lighter shade on your whole lid and a dark crease n v light brings things fowrard an dark colors set them back.

I have the same problem... when I want to do smokey eyes I just color the whole crease in the smokey color instead of doing the line... doesn't look as awesome when you close your eyes but gives the same effect when they are opened.

I feel your pain girl. Also be careful when you are highlighting your browbone, because the more highlight, the more attention is being drawn to the hooded eye. I also found this on pinterest, it says to put egg white on the corner of the eye where it over laps and let it dry, then peel off and it lifts your skin apperantly...I've never done it but its worth a try :)

I'm not sure if there is a misunderstanding on what a smokey eye is because hooded eye lids are perfect for the smokey eye if anything it's encouraged because of the drama in the eye style because it's dark faded into light meaning it covers main lid to fade out slightly above crease.I have hooded eyelids and any eye shadow style can work it's about creating the illusion and takes patience but can be done also adding a great eye cream helps lift the hooded eye :-) here is a pic of a smokey eye.
