For hooded eyes create a cat-eye effect with a lighter shade over the bottom and dark on the edges to enhance your eyes as using just black all over your eyelids will make your eyes look smaller.

For this eye shape always stick to matte shades of smokey and work with the outer corners of your eyes blending them upwards as using shimmery shades will give your eyes a bulgy appearance.

Use less of any shade for this kind of eye shape leaving the lid area visible and the edge-blended in the upward cat-eye effect. Use a mixture of shimmery and matte shades.
