I also have hooded eyes and always have had them, so I can't even blame my age. It is genetics for me, as I am part Native American and have both hooded eyes and a little bit monolid in the inner corner. Always a challenge but you learn as you go along. I agree with shaping your brows nicely and giving it a nice arch, provided your eye shape is supposed to have one. Either way, just never go too heavy on brow colour or your eyes will look even more sagged. I find frosted or very light toned shadow for highlighter just under my brown gives my eye a nice lift. Most of my shadow is hidden until I blink, so two fun tricks. Again, add some shimmer on the lids as well as blend up a wee bit higher than your regular crease so you get a hint of colour. I also softly wing out my shadow in a very smokey way to bring the attention to the sides and not the puffy lid! Same with using some pretty eyeliners on the lower lash line. Darker in the corners and a pop of blue, purple or green in the middle! And yes, a smokey eye looks fabulours. I like to mix it up with browns, pinks, taupes, purples and greys, all at once sometimes! UD, e/s frm the MAC Peacock collection (mega-metal) and Dior or Chanel shadows work nice.
