Within our beauty routine, especially when we are over thirty, the eyes become one of our main focuses. We went looking for products to say goodbye to tired eyes and for even more convenient and faster solutions, such as eye patches to effortlessly put an end to dark circles and puffiness. However, there is another point in our eyes that we worry about over the years and that is droopy eyelids.
Why do I have droopy eyelids?
First, of course, one can congenital factor. Excess skin on the upper eyelids can be purely genetic. On the other hand, in the fewest cases, it can be the result of an injury or condition. But the most common is that it is simply a another sign of the passage of time and the aging of such sensitive skin like those around the eyes. With the years it appears slacker and less flexible by reducing the production of collagen and elastin, making it more prone to falling. When this happens, we feel like we’ve added years, our gaze seems dull, and the eyes seem dwarfish. The solution? to exist creams and serums with a tightening effect which will help hydrate and revitalize your look, while treating dark circles and puffiness and adding luminosity to your eyes. You should also write down some tips on applying makeup so as not to further emphasize the appearance of droopy eyelids.
Mistakes when applying makeup on droopy eyelids
Subconsciously, we tend to apply makeup to our eyes in the same way, despite the fact that the eyelids may seem a bit low, achieving the exact opposite of what we intended: the look looks sad and aged. That’s because we’re probably making these 4 mistakes:
- bold contours: if you draw a line that is too thick, your eyelid will look even smaller. Bet on finer eyeliners like a cat’s eye with a straight line, a floating eyeliner that imitates the almond shape of the eyelid or one in the shape of a crescent attached to the upper line of the eyelashes that runs from one end to the other end of the almond of the eye.
- Closed eyes: It is better to outline the eyes open than closed, since it is not the same when the skin is stretched as when we open the eye and see that a thick line remains or that instead of enlarging the gaze, it has clouded more.
- The choice of shade: avoid excesses in terms of shadows that are too light, pearly, metallic or shadows to shine because they ultimately increase the drooping effect of the eyelid on a visual level.
- Be careful with the volume of the eyelashes: We all like to wear voluminous, long and impressive eyelashes, but depending on the shape of the eye, some areas should be emphasized over others. With drooping eyelids, the emphasis of the mascara is best placed on the outer corner of the eye and not exactly on the central part. The same in the case of false eyelashes.
