Meet Linda
Linda Hensley, 63, Charlotte, North Carolina
Liner that shows with your eyes open and doesn't smudge underneath by lunch. I tested every step on my own droopy lids, with drugstore pencils. Then the brows, lashes, lips and cheeks that go with it.
I grew up in Cedar Fork, a little mill town in the North Carolina Piedmont. I got my hooded eyes and my laugh from my mother, June. For forty-one years I ran the front office at Pruitt Heating & Air in Charlotte. Walt and I have lived in the same brick ranch house since 1987, with his tomato plants along the fence.
I'm not a makeup artist. I worked Saturdays at a cosmetics counter as a teenager, and the lady there taught me to step back and look. Around fifty, everything I knew stopped working: my liner disappeared, my concealer cracked and my hair thinned at the crown. I stopped fighting my silver in 2020.
I only keep what I can still see working the next morning, in plain window light, on my own face.

These books are for you if
- You've done your own makeup for years, and lately your liner vanishes into the fold of your lid.
- You look in the car mirror at lunch and find gray smudges under your eyes.
- Your concealer cracks in the lines or turns gray, and people ask if you're tired.
- Your fine hair goes flat by noon and the part at the back shows your scalp.
- Your foundation sinks into the lines by noon, or you've started hiding your neck and arms.
- You wear readers, your hand isn't as steady as it was, or your eyes get dry, and you need a gentler way.
- You want to look fresher with drugstore products, with no needles and without surgery.
They're not for you if
- You want something to remove bags, wrinkles or dark circles. My books change how they look, not what's there.
- You're looking for fillers, lasers, peels, injections or eyelid surgery. I don't cover any of that.
- You want exercises or firming creams for your neck or arms. I show how to blend and dress around them, not how to change them.
- You want hair to grow back or get thicker. I show how to style the hair you have.
- You want paper books in your mailbox. Nothing is mailed.
- An eyelid has started drooping suddenly. See a doctor right away, not a book. A droop that creeps in on one side goes to your eye doctor.
Why I wrote these books
On a hot Tuesday in July of 2017, I sat in the grocery store parking lot on my lunch break with the engine running. I flipped down the visor mirror to check my lipstick. There was a gray-black smear in the hollow under each eye, like I'd been crying at a funeral. I had stood at the front counter all morning talking to customers looking like that.
My mistake was simple. I'd lined my eyes the same way since the eighties: soft black pencil, eyes closed, thick on top and smudged underneath. My lids had changed. My method hadn't.
That evening I went straight to my vanity. I changed one thing at a time at sunset and checked it again the next morning in the window light. The old pencil was the first thing in my Tried-and-Gone drawer, with an index card saying what went wrong.
These four books are what stayed out of that drawer. One for liner on hooded eyes, with the brows, lashes, lips and cheeks around it. One for the under-eye that turned gray on me. One for fine hair that won't hold up at the crown. One for foundation in the lines, and the neck and arms I'd started hiding. Everything in them was tested on my own face.
From my vanity to yours,Linda

My 30-day promise
If my books aren't right for you, write to me within 30 days and I'll refund every cent. I might ask what didn't work for you, because I'd like to know. You get your money back whatever you answer, or if you don't answer at all.
Questions from the vanity
How do I get the books? Will they come in the mail?
They're yours right after checkout. Nothing is mailed to your house. You open them on your phone, tablet or computer, and you can print them at home if you like paper. If you wanted printed books mailed to you, just ask for your refund.
I'm not good with computers. Will I manage?
You pay on one page, and your books open on the very next one. The receipt Payhip sends you has the link too, so you can open them again later. The help link at the bottom of this page walks you through it.
Isn't all this in your videos already?
A video shows one trick at a time. Each book puts every step in order, with Fix It by Symptom, a 6-week mirror plan and Vanity Cards you can prop against your mirror while your hands are busy.
Is it safe to pay?
You pay on Payhip's secure checkout page. Your card details go to the payment company, never to me, and you can see the total before you confirm.
What if they aren't for me?
Write to me within 30 days and I'll refund you. No conditions. I may ask what didn't work, but your refund doesn't depend on the answer.
Can I buy Linda's Hooded Eye Method on its own?
No. It only comes in the set, and so does Lines, Neck and Crepey Skin. If you get the set, you don't need to buy Stop Looking Tired or No More Flat Hair too. They're already in it.
I've worn makeup for decades. Will this be too simple for me?
I wrote it for women like us who know plenty. What changed is our faces, not our skill. If you're coming back to makeup after years away, every trick still goes one step at a time.
What do I need to have at home?
A mirror, your readers, an eye pencil, mascara and a concealer. A hand-held magnifying mirror helps a lot. Everything else I use comes from the drugstore.
My lids are hooded and wrinkled. Will the liner still show?
That's my lid too. You draw it with your eyes open, chin level, starting from the spot that still shows. It's all in “Liner That Shows With Your Eyes Open”, and the crepey part is in “Shadow on a Hooded, Crepey Lid”.
Should I line my waterline to make my lashes look thicker?
I did for thirty years, until my eyes burned every evening and my eye doctor told me to stop. Now I line only from above, at the lash roots. If you do line it, use a clean, freshly sharpened pencil that's never shared, and stop if it stings or turns red. With dry eyes or contacts, stay outside it and follow your eye doctor.
My concealer creases no matter what. Can anything help?
No book can make lines disappear, and I won't tell you otherwise. What helped me was less product, only where the shadow is, and powder only where it folds. That's “Three Spots, Not the Half-Moon” and “Set It Without the Powder Look” in Stop Looking Tired.
My foundation sinks into every line by lunch. Is there anything for that?
No book can erase lines, and mine doesn't try. What changed it for me was less foundation, thinner, pressed on instead of rubbed, and powder only where I shine. That's “Less Foundation, and Thinner” and “Press, Don't Paint” in Lines, Neck and Crepey Skin, and the neck and arms are in there too.
Why does my concealer turn gray?
Mine did in a church directory photo. Lighter isn't brighter: light over dark circles goes gray. “Dark Circles That Don't Turn Gray” shows how to pick the shade and where a corrector goes.
My part splits at the back and looks like a bald spot. Is there anything for that?
My crown looked like a white road in a wedding photo. I can't make hair grow. I can show you how to move the part, lift the crown with rollers and soften the scalp you see. That's “The Crack at the Back” and “Rollers at the Crown” in No More Flat Hair.
Every cut I see is for thick hair. What about fine thin hair?
I walked out of a salon with a granny cut once, and I sat in the car a while before I could drive. “A Cut for Fine Hair” and “Words for the Salon” cover what to ask for, and Take This to Your Stylist is a page you fill in and bring along.
Do eye exercises lift a droopy lid?
My books don't teach exercises or massages for that. They show where the liner goes so it shows on the lid you have. If a lid droops suddenly, see a doctor right away. If it creeps down on one side, ask your eye doctor.
Why don't you show a woman in her 70s?
I'm 63, and I won't pretend to be anyone else. What I show is a real face with hooded eyes and lines, tested at my own vanity. Every trick also has a gentler version for tired eyes and shaky hands.
My lashes go straight again after mascara. What am I doing wrong?
Mine are thin too. I curl them cold and gently, never pulling, and put the mascara mostly at the root. That's in “Fine Lashes, Seen”, and The Trick Library has “Mascara That Doesn't Print on the Hood”.
Let your liner show up again
Sit down at your own vanity with your readers and a sharp pencil. Draw it with your eyes open, and see how it looks tomorrow morning in the window light.
