Anyways, when I apply my lid color, because it folds, my lid color transfers to my top lid which you can see when I close my eyes. So with that being said should I bring my lid color up higher past my crease? If so, how can I have room for my transition color and crease color if I were to do that method? I am clueless on how to work with my type of lid. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think you have a hooded eyelid. You can look up tutorials on YouTube for it, or you can try using a really really good primer. My eyelids are sort of like that and I use an Urban Decay eyeshadow primer, and it solved that problem with me.

I looked up hooded eye lid and it doesn't fit the description of my eyelid.
I used the UD primer and still had the same issue hun.

You have slightly hooded eyes. Not as hooded as East Asian eyes, but definitely hooded. Regardless though, a good primer will keep the eyeshadow from moving around like that!

You definitely have a hooded eye. Make sure you tap off excess eyeshadow from your brush before applying so there's no extra product that can transfer. You seem to have a lot of space between where you end your lid color application and begin your crease color so you can definitely bring the lid color up higher. In turn you'd have to apply your crease and transition colors up just a little higher but you seem to have enough space for that.

Absolutely a hooded eye. There are many YT tutorials, Wayne Goss has several. You can choose to create a fake crease or to work within your lid space. It's not a monolid but they're definitely hooded. Not hard to work with once you learn a few tips!

From the pictures I've seen with hooded eyelid you can't see the lid when look straight forward and with mines you can which is why I was under the impression that I didn't have a hooded lid. So now that I am aware I can watch YT videos to learn how to work with my type of lids. Thank you all so much.

With a monolid you can't see the crease, and with some very hooded eyes the crease still isn't visible; yours just aren't hooded to that degree but they are kind of a typical hooded lid. You'll get the hang of it! I was scared of doing hooded lids when I first started out but the as with everything else, the more you practice the better you get. You'll have it down in no time! 😃👍🏻

My eyes are similar to yours. The space between my eyebrow and my crease is smaller. What I do is, I make everything to fit in! Example, If I do a halo eye it will be small but its there.
Its really slightly hooded.
Oh and I use mac paint pot as primer which I think is good but unfortunately it doesn't help with the transfering thing... especially when I line my eyes.
