Makeup for Droopy Eyes

Either you always had droopy eyes or your eyes are looking smaller due to heavier eyelids that are sagging. Sometimes droopy eyelids are due to loss of elasticity in the eye muscles. Droopy eyes tend to look small and unattractive. With a few simple strokes, you can open out your eyes and let them brighten up your face!

Droopy eyes makeup

It is not very difficult to apply makeup for droopy eyes. Follow this simple guideline to achieve the best results

• Line the upper eye lashes in an upward sloping style using either a liquid eye liner or a sharp eye liner pencil. This will lend the eyes a brighter look.
  
• Extend this line until it reaches the outer corner of your eyes.
  
• Do not put liner on the bottom of your eyes as this will make the eyes appear to look downwards.
  
• Use a bone colored eye shadow; apply it just on top of the lashes. You can also use the eye shadow on the inner V of the eyes.
  
• Use a little dark or medium shade eye shadow, start from the crease of your eye to just under the brow bone. This will open out your eyes.
  
• Add a subtle highlighter just below your brow to draw attention to the upper part of your eye.
  
• Fix false eye lash pieces on the outer corner of the eyes; curl it along with the natural lashes.
  
• Apply mascara to upper eye lashes. Thick mascara is at the core of makeup for droopy eyes.
  
• Apply shimmer in the inner corner of the eyes - another trick to make them appear larger. Silver eye shadow can work wonders!
