While you are young and beautiful, you do not notice such trifles as an impending eyelid. In fact, this is one of the completely natural skin conditions and is not considered something shameful.
Just applying makeup on such eyelids is in some cases inconvenient and worth a little confusion.
Well, with age, the eyelid can hang a little over the moving part, partially or completely blocking it.
Often there are cases when only one specific edge of the movable eyelid (upper or inner), its center, is closed.
Correcting the situation is very easy if you use the recommendations for proper makeup application.
We hasten to introduce you to 10 effective ways to visually “fix” the overhanging upper eyelid.
10 Waterproof mascara
A good waterproof brasmatik for eyelashes is not so easy to pick up, but for the sake of competent makeup, try.
It must be understood that with an overhanging upper eyelid, it often comes into contact with eyelashes, which negatively affects the quality and wearability of eye makeup. So, during the day, mascara can crumble and roll, imprinted on overhanging skin.
The waterproof formula will prevent your makeup from smearing and those nasty blemishes on your upper lid. By the way, it is also better to choose waterproof eyeliners and shadows.
9. Use a primer
Of course, modern cosmetologists have come up with a lot of different tricks, just to make us buy more and more new elements of decorative cosmetics.
The primer, although not necessary in everyday makeup, helps to maintain the durability of the make-up with an impending eyelid, and even suits girls with different eye shapes.
If the upper eyelid hangs heavily, then it leads to smearing, rolling and gathering into folds of even the most persistent and dense shadows.
A special gentle eye primer with a light texture will help protect your makeup. We can recommend the following brands: UrbanDecay, as well as PrimerPotion – bestsellers for the perfect day and evening look.
8. Open eyes while applying makeup
We recommend leaving the eye open when using eyeliner or eye shadow. This will allow you to more accurately determine the location of the natural crease of the overhanging eyelid, which will facilitate the correct application of shadows and makeup correction.
It is also advisable not to look up, but in the mirror in front of you, while making sure that the eyebrows do not rise up.
Calm and relaxed eyelids will help you accurately determine the area of shadow application for the most open look.
7. Shadows over the crease
An excellent option for the impending eyelid is to apply dark shadows to the crease area of the moving eyelid and a little higher. This approach will preserve the saturation and visibility of the shade with open eyes.
We recommend using brown or gray corrective shadows on top of the bone more often, which will help visually highlight the crease of the eyelid.
Instead of shadows, a bronzer or blush is quite suitable. Not bad for make-up impending eyelids smokyeyes with graphite tints. We recommend dry application.
6. Use a napkin
If you are not a make-up guru, then immediately making it carefully with an impending century will be problematic. We suggest using a life hack.
Attach a lint-free paper tissue to the eye in the area of the outer corner so that at an angle it also touches one “wing” of the nose.
Apply shadows from the center of the upper eyelid horizontally towards the napkin (refer to the proposed picture). Such a simple trick will save time and get a simple but neat make-up.
5. Matte shadows
Do you want to make a motionless capricious eyelid visually smaller, to divert unwanted attention from it? This is possible if you replace the shiny and mother-of-pearl shadows with matte ones.
Any flickering particles and glitters are reflective, due to which the impending eyelid visually increases and may even look slightly swollen.
Matte shadows choose neutral or nude shades in gray and brown colors, you can sand.
Do not forget to shade the pencil or shadow well. We do not recommend applying satin textures to the overhanging crease, as well as using the wet method.
4. Avoid bright colors
Spring has arrived, and summer is approaching, which means it’s time to experiment with bright contrasting shades. Unfortunately, this does not apply to owners of impending eyelids.
Bright, and even more so neon tones are contraindicated for you, or you will have to contrive with the help of special technologies.
So, when applying catchy shadows, you will have to shade them well, leading them beyond the moving area of the overhanging eyelid.
3. Light inner corners of the eyes
You can cheat a little and visually reduce the amount of overhang if you distribute lighter shadows (preferably with a shimmer) in the area of uXNUMXbuXNUMXbthe inner corners of the eyes, as well as a little below them (draw shadows approximately to the middle of the bottom line along the lash growth zone).
This technique will help visually expand the eyes, make them more open and alive.
2. up arrows
Most of all, the owners of the impending century are busy with arrows. And without them, the look looks a little tired and sad, and the arrows complete the image of a kind of “pierrot”. And it is not so easy to draw a straight line that does not refract under the weight of the upper eyelid.
The first rule for drawing arrows is not to allow “lowered tips” in any case, and to refuse a straight line. They should always be directed upwards.
At the same time, if the movable eyelid is small and strongly overlaps with the overhanging one, then the arrow should be very thin. Make sure that the outline of the arrow does not overlap the area of the moving eyelid.
1. Blend shadows
An important make-up recommendation for the impending century is shading the shadows. Clear contour makeup is not suitable for you if you do not want to emphasize natural features.
Your eyes seem a little smaller visually, so we should try to “enlarge” them by shading along the ciliary edge from above and below. To soften the borders, use soft pencils, such as UrbanDecay.
These simple tips will help you always look irresistible and not worry about some physiological features of the body.
