With liquid liner, almost everybody struggles. But people with hooded eyes have a particularly tough time with this look. Except, perhaps, Karlie Kloss, thanks to the help of makeup artist Hung Vanngo.In her first behind-the-scenes moment of 2017, Kloss revealed a fresh but sultry look, complete with a smize. Kloss opted for a graphic shadow on her hooded eyes, with a line that’s thinner on the inner corners and grows thicker toward the outer corners, covering the entire exposed area of the lid.To get the look on hooded eyes, start with an eye primer and be sure to use nontransferable products. Then create your desired shape along the lash line, with eye shadow and an angled brush. Looking straight on with your eyes open, create a short wing, upturned in line with your lower lashes and stopping at your eye fold.Kloss decided to go for a simpler look, but you can wear a cat eye on hooded eyes, too. Simply continue the wing in the direction of your lower lid, then trace over your favorite liquid liner, and be sure to fill in any gaps with eye shadow.

Shading along her lower lash line in a taupey brown color kept this eye makeup light. Using the same neutral tone just above the natural creases in her eyes also worked beautifully as a contour. A perfect highlight, brushed-up brows, and rosy-nude lips completes the look.Read More: The Raddest Liner Look for Your Eye Shape Monolids Are Finally Getting the Makeup Love They Deserve The Perfect Winged Eyeliner For Your EyesCheck out more of our favorite celebrity beauty looks, and let’s keep in touch!

They weren’t being very nice … or creative. geico hoodieI’m not even Chinese.fanshawe college clothing store hours Samantha Okazaki / TODAYshark hoodie bape uk But 8-year-old me didn’t know how to say that or how to put them in their place. wolverine hoodie hot topic

How to tell them that I was born in Japan, but was just as much an American as they were. And that my eyes weren’t a caricature: they were real, they were mine and they were welling with tears. Instead I wished I could bury myself in my cubby with my baseball cap and glitter pens and never come out. I blamed myself for giving them reason to taunt me. I hated my stupid eyes! I hated how small they were and how skinny. I hated the tic I had developed, a hard deliberate blink that got worse when I was nervous or self-conscious. klingon hoodieI hated my dad for giving me my eyes. hodi's half note fort collins coloradoAnd I hated being half-Japanese because it meant I looked different than everyone else. Courtesy of Linda Okazaki Fast-forward 10 years later. Aside from the tic, which followed me wherever I went, I had pretty much buried all memories of the bullying my eyes had inspired.

Then, I moved to the East Coast for college. I moved away from my hometown that was surprisingly diverse and my friend group that was predominantly mixed race. I unpacked my bags in upstate New York and was greeted with a level of racism I had thought to be extinct. “You’re not Asian,” someone told me point blank during my first week at Syracuse. Umm ... excuse me? I was so taken aback, I wasn’t even sure where to start! I didn’t have time to respond, because the second wave of insensitivity was just starting. “Your eyes aren’t even Asian.” OK, now that’s not even politically correct. For a split second, I wanted to resent my mother who gave me my Caucasian features and my facial indecisiveness. You would have thought 8-year-old me would jump for joy. No more “Chinese eyes!” Except I didn’t feel free, I felt offended. Do I explain that I’m half-Asian? The last I checked, Okazaki is not your average, all-American surname. Do I explain that my relatives faced the same arrogant scrutiny when they were interned during World War II?

Or was that all too complex for this ignorant human being? All my life I have faced people telling me I look “too Asian” or “too white,” when in reality that’s not their call to make. my eyes don’t have to be "just right." Frankly, I love that my eyes are neither one race nor another, but a beautifully blended example of two cultures coming together. There, I said it. I am proud of my eyes. It took me years, but I have finally grown into my features and appreciate them for what they are. I love that the corners of my eyes tip slightly downward but crinkle up toward my temples when I laugh. I love that my eye shape is impossible to define: almond, monolid, hooded, all of the above. It just depends on how they’re feeling that day. I’m proud of the fact that people can’t decipher “what I am” at first glance. These eyes are enigmatic in that sense, an optical illusion. They’re exotic, elegant and ambiguous. They’re mine, they’re a part of me, end of story.
