Whether your eyelids naturally droop a little more than you’d like or the effects of aging have worn off the skin around your eyes, droopy eyelids can be a source of insecurity for many. Luckily, there are plenty of makeup tips and tricks to help lift those eyelids quickly and easily. Even if only until you find the time to consider more permanent solutions like surgical blepharoplasty. Read on to find out how to create a glowing eye look with tips on application techniques and advice on the most effective products.
How to raise your eyelids to have a rejuvenated face?
Using a concealer:
Apply a concealer or lightweight foundation to your lids and blend it lightly above the crease of the lid. This will help create the illusion of lifted eyelids.
Using a neutral eye shadow:
Using a fluffy eye shadow brush, apply neutral eye shadow all over the lid to just below the brow bone. This will help brighten and open the eyes, giving them more relief.
Using an eyeliner:
Create a subtle cat eye by lightly tracing along the upper lash line with an eyeliner pencil, working gradually towards the outer corners of your eyes in a slight upward motion. This will give you an instant lifting effect without looking too extreme or artificial.
Using a highlighter:
Apply a dab of highlighter to the inner corner of each eye and below the brow bone to illuminate these areas, create more definition and make your eyes look bigger and brighter.
Using a dark colored pencil:
To make your eyes look wider, run a black or brown pencil along the lower waterline to add definition and distract from droopy lids.
Using an eyelash curler:
Curling your lashes with an eyelash curler is another great way to open your eyes and make them look brighter and more awake, making them less likely to droop!
How to draw your eyebrows when you have droopy eyelids?
When the eyelids are droopy, it is important to work the eyebrows to create a more open and youthful look. To do this, slightly raise the eyebrows with a soft brush and brush them slightly upwards. Then use an eyebrow pencil or powder that matches your natural hair color and fill in any sparse areas. To enhance lids even more, use highlighter just below the brow bone to draw attention upwards, away from sagging. Finally, be sure to use a brow gel or sealant so everything stays in place all day. By working on these techniques, you can create an opening effect that will make your eyes look more awake and refreshed!
Should false eyelashes be used to hide the effect of droopy eyelids?
False eyelashes are not necessarily the ideal solution to hide the effect of droopy eyelids, as they can draw even more attention to this area of your face. It’s best to use concealer or concealer primer, which can subtly fill in the gaps between your eyelid and upper lashes and make you look smoother and brighter. Or quite simply, opt for one of the tips mentioned above which may be more effective than false eyelashes.
How to use mascara to hide droopy eyelids?
Using mascara to conceal droopy eyelids can be a great way to accentuate eyes and make them look brighter. To apply the mascara, start by curling your lashes with an eyelash curler. This will help lift the lashes and open your eyes. Then grab a volumizing mascara in a shade that matches your natural eyelash color, or slightly darker.
Start by applying the mascara to the base of your lashes and wiggle the wand upwards towards the tip of your lashes. This will add more volume and height to your lashes, making them appear longer and thicker. Use your wand to gently brush each lash from root to tip, ensuring that even droopy lids are evenly coated in mascara for a fuller effect. Finish by combing your lashes with a clean brush to achieve a more even effect.
