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 conditions of the skin 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 may slightly hang over the moving part, partially or completely overlapping it.
Often there are cases when only one specific edge of the mobile eyelid closes (upper or inner), its center.
Correcting the situation is very easy if you use the recommendations for the competent application of makeup.
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 choose, but try for the right makeup.
It must be understood that with an overhanging upper eyelid, it often comes into contact with eyelashes, which negatively affects the quality and wear of makeup for the eyes. So, during the day, the mascara can crumble and roll, imprinted on loose skin.
A water-resistant formula will prevent smearing of your makeup and these unpleasant point traces on the upper eyelid. By the way, eyeliners and shadows are also better to choose waterproof.
9. Use a primer
Of course, modern cosmetologists have come up with a lot of different tricks, just to make us buy new and new elements of decorative cosmetics.
The primer, although it is not necessary in everyday makeup, but helps to maintain the stability of make-up with the impending century, and even suitable for girls with various shapes of eyes.
If the upper eyelid hangs heavily, then it leads to smearing, rolling and folding into folds of even the most persistent and dense shadows.
A special gentle eyeliner with a light texture will help protect your makeup. We can advise you on the following brands: UrbanDecay, as well as PrimerPotion - best sellers for the perfect day and evening look.
8. Open eyes while applying makeup
When using eyeliner or eye shadow, we recommend that you leave your eyes open. This will allow you to more accurately determine the location of the natural folds of the overhanging eyelid, which will facilitate the correct application of shadows and correction of makeup.
It is also advisable to look not 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 pinpoint the shadow area for the most open look.
7. Shadows over the crease
An excellent option for the impending century is to apply dark shadows to the fold area of the moving eyelid and a little higher. This approach will maintain the saturation and visibility of the shade with open eyes.
We recommend using brown or gray corrective shadows on top of the bones more often, which will help visually highlight the fold of the eyelid.
Instead of shadows, a bronzer or blush is quite suitable. Good for smokyeyes overhanging eyelids with graphite reflections. We recommend applying by dry method.
6. Use a napkin
If you are not a make-up guru, then immediately to do it carefully with the impending century will be problematic. We suggest using a life hack.
Attach a lint-free paper towel to the eye in the area of the outer corner so that at an angle it touches one “wing” of the nose.
Apply shadows from the center of the upper eyelid horizontally to the side of the napkin (be guided by the proposed picture). Such a simple trick will save time and get a simple but neat make-up.
5. Matt shadows
Do you want to make a motionless capricious eyelid visually smaller, to remove unwanted attention from it? This is possible if you replace the shiny and pearlescent shades with matte.
Any flickering particles and glitters are reflectors, due to which the overhanging eyelid visually increases and may even look slightly swollen.
Matte shadows, select neutral or nude shades in gray and brown colors, you can sand.
Remember to blend the pencil or shadow well. On the overhanging fold, we do not recommend applying satin textures, as well as applying the wet method.
4. Give up bright colors
Spring has come, and summer is approaching - which means that it is time to experiment with bright contrasting shades. Unfortunately, this does not apply to owners of overhanging eyelids.
Bright, and even more neon tones are contraindicated for you or you will have to contrive with the help of special technologies.
So, when applying eye-catching shadows, you have to shade them well, leading them out of the moving area of the overhanging century.
3. Bright 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 the inner corners of the eyes, as well as a little under them (lead the shadows to about the middle of the lower line along the eyelash growth zone).
Such a technique will help to 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 to draw a straight line that is not refracted under the weight of the upper eyelid is not so simple.
The first rule of drawing arrows is to not allow “dropped tips” in any case, and to refuse a straight line. They should always be directed upwards.
Moreover, if the movable eyelid is small and overlaps strongly overhanging, 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. Feather the shadows
An important recommendation of make-up for the impending century is shading shadows. A clear contour makeup does not suit you if you do not want to emphasize natural features.
Your eyes visually seem a little smaller, so we should try to “enlarge” them by feathering along the ciliary edge above and below. To soften the borders, take soft pencils, for example, UrbanDecay.
These simple tips will help you always look irresistible and not worry about some physiological characteristics of the body.
