Hooded eyes
Eyes where a fold of skin from the brow area drops over the eyelid crease, partly hiding the lid.
Also: hooded lids
With hooded eyes, a fold of skin below the brow bone sits over the eyelid crease, so less of the moving lid shows when the eyes are open. Hooding can be inherited or can come with age as skin loosens. It is common in people everywhere. Makeup artists suggest placing shadow a little above the natural crease so that it shows with the eyes open, and opticians may choose frames whose top rim sits above the hood.
