How do I know if my eyelid is drooping?

Examine the face – if the skin of the upper eyelid forms a fold and a small “cap” appears under the eyebrows, then this is our stop. Such a structure is especially relevant for the Asian appearance, as well as for those who are under constant stress, since the tension between the bridge of the nose only creates a crease effect on the eyes. But often, an impending eyelid is a problem that comes with age, so most of the tips in the article will be specifically for age-related makeup. And you can perfectly (with my advice) draw arrows directly for the upcoming century, at any age.

How to draw an arrow so that the drooping eyelid is completely invisible?

It is especially important to choose the right cosmetics to use to create the image and harmoniously camouflage all skin imperfections.

For example, age-related makeup means more dense and creamy textures, since it will no longer be possible to elegantly mask wrinkles with liquids.

step by step instruction

Prepare the skin by evening the tone of the face

Apply concealer to hide all capillaries

Next, apply eyeshadow in any light skin tone to the entire eyelid.

After that, we take a brown shade of shadow, apply it on the protrusion of the eyelid. So, we will fix it visually with the help of the play of light and shadow. It is important to make sure that the brown shadows are visible, for this, look in the mirror with eyes as open as possible. By shading the shadows to the corner of the eye, you can visually lengthen and open the eyes.

We paint the eyelashes and the corners of the eyes with a pencil, the most suitable for this is soft brown or black kajal. This is a must-have item to visually increase lashes, add volume and keep the arrow looking neat.

Now we begin to draw the arrow itself, it should be light and “airy” so as not to make the look heavy. To do this, draw the tip short, and the arrow itself is very thin. The main rule is to draw an arrow from waterproof products so that the hanging eyelid does not blur the result. Along the eyelash growth line, you need to draw a strip of arrows, gradually expanding from the inner corner of the eye (press the liner a little harder). The tail of the arrow is always a continuation of the lower eyelid, so follow the geometry of the face, do not fill it too low or, conversely, raise it up.

The final step is to darken the lower eyelid with brown shadows, blend them well along the lash line and paint the eyelashes with mascara as much as possible.
