Weakness of the eyelids only increases with age, which leads to a hanging condition. This leads to a loss of expressiveness in the eyes and a change in their visual depth.
This problem can be solved with the help of visual changes, and in particular makeup.
Very popular techniques will allow you to quickly restore the sharpness and expressiveness of your eyes.
Makeup for daytime and evening
It is worth noting an important detail! When creating daytime makeup, it is lined up exactly along the boundaries of the eyelid, which is unacceptable for drooping eyelids.
The fact is that the fold is hidden by the skin and it is for this reason that makeup does not give satisfactory results.
But by using an overhang instead of a fold, you can achieve the desired results. Simply put, the form will be built according to the impending century.
Instructions for the impending eyelid and photo of eyelid makeup:
- draw the outlines of the impending eyelid
- We use only natural shades or colors as close to them as possible
- the bottom line is drawn subtly using a suitable color (it will become the transition between the eyebrow and eyelid)
- blend with a thick brush towards the eyebrows
- neat shading allows you to create a stripe necessary for subsequent work

Smokey eyes for the New Year, combined with drooping eyelids
Preparation should be carried out using powder and other similar attributes of your cosmetics bag. The tones can include not only bed tones, but also some special or individual ones.
Sculptor and dark tones will help you create an imaginary fold. The real crease of your eyelid will remain unnoticed.
As for the cavity, it should be darkened. As a test, light pressure is used on the darkened area. If your brush fails, then the work was done successfully.
A soft, rounded brush will allow you to create makeup that looks organic from any angle, and you can soften the contour with the help of a shaded strip. It should be noted that with drooping eyelids, the shading is done very broadly, in a ratio of approximately 70 percent of the fixed area.
Next, the shadows are applied on the outer corners and under the eyelashes on the lower eyelids. To get a “cat” silhouette, you should draw a thin tail with a gentle movement of your hand and shade its middle. As a result, you will get a neat shadow arrow.
Shadows of a light palette will allow the pattern to be duplicated throughout the rest of the eyelid. But the outline will not touch the border. After applying all the necessary cosmetics, the resulting range of colors is gently shaded.
The main focus of makeup will be the maximum drawing of an imaginary fold. Thin brushes and the necessary shades of shadows will help you with this. The outer corner of the eye is worked out in a similar way, which creates a complete look.The main part is covered with light tones. Next comes shading, drawing an arrow and completing the lower eyelid. If you wish, you can carry out permanent makeup for the eyelids, separate permanent makeup for the upper eyelid, permanent makeup for the eyelids and arrows, as well as makeup for small eyelids.
The technique does not depend on the color of the eyes or their shape!

Reviews about blepharoplasty
Marina, 37 years old
“Since childhood, I had drooping upper eyelids. Until I started wearing makeup, I didn’t even know about this problem. As soon as I tried to apply shadow on my eyelid, I realized that in my case it is not so easy to do. After 30 years, age-related changes also appeared. Something had to be decided. I read on the Internet what blepharoplasty is and decided to find out the prices in my city. Previously, it seemed to me that this was crazy money that ordinary mortals had never even dreamed of. It turned out that this was not the case. I consulted with several surgeons, chose the one who seemed to me the most reasonable and experienced, took tests and “went under the knife.” I went home almost immediately after I completely recovered from general anesthesia. Nothing hurt, I felt great. Within a week, the bandage was removed, and a month later I was “showing off” with new eyes. I am very pleased that I decided to have this operation. Friends say that these are two different people, before and after blepharoplasty.”
Irina, 35 years old
“I decided to have an operation called blepharoplasty because of hereditary hernias in the upper eyelids. It always looked ugly, but after 30 years it began to look completely terrible. After studying the reviews about the procedure, I went to a local clinic. Here I was examined by a surgeon and an ophthalmologist. Examination of the latter was especially important for me, since I have poor eyesight. Immediately after the operation there were severe bruises, I could not look at myself in the mirror. But already on the third day the situation began to improve. After another 4 days, my stitches were removed, and then, to celebrate, I went to the cinema. Friends immediately noticed that he looked fresher. A year has passed since the operation, and the result continues to please me.”
Inna, 46 years old
“I had drooping eyelids by nature. By the age of 45, they began to hang even more. This made me look tired and gloomy. A friend told me that blepharoplasty would help me. I passed all the necessary tests (blood and urine tests), then brought the results to the clinic. I was immediately assigned a day for surgery. The operation took place under local anesthesia. In the room there was a plastic surgeon, an anesthesiologist and an assistant. Blepharoplasty lasted about half an hour. Of course, there were no painful sensations, but I was very worried about the entire operation. It turned out that it was completely in vain. It was very successful. After the operation, I was sent home almost immediately. When the anesthesia began to “release,” a burning sensation and pain appeared. I applied ice to help the bruises go away faster. A week later my stitches were removed. I was very pleased with the reflection in the mirror; my upper eyelids were graceful, and not the same as before the operation.”
Agnia, 35 years old
“Sagging skin around the eyes. I decided that it was time to trust the plastic surgeon, who said that I needed blepharoplasty. I was very worried, but decided not to give up. First I came for a preliminary consultation, then took tests. After the doctor received their results, I was given a day for surgery. It was carried out under local anesthesia. They offered me general anesthesia, but I refused. I later regretted this... First, markings are made, an injection is given and the skin is cut off. There was no pain, but there was a feeling that I was being “cut.” The half hour the operation lasted seemed like an eternity to me. The postoperative period was also difficult for me. There was severe swelling and redness. However, a week later, when I saw my new eyes in the mirror, I realized that I had not endured in vain. It’s painful, unpleasant, but the result is worth it, I feel much more confident than before blepharoplasty.”
Blepharoplasty helps rejuvenate the skin and correct congenital and acquired defects. If you decide to have it, carefully choose the doctor and the clinic where you will have it performed. Do not neglect the recommendations during the recovery period. Only in this case will you be satisfied with the operation.
Why do men need blepharoplasty?
By nature, men's skin is rougher than that of the fairer sex. Also, men often pay little attention to caring for it: very rarely do any of the stronger sex use creams daily, including sunscreen in summer. Add to this bad habits and, as a result, most men after 30 years old become the owners of a “tired” frown and very deep facial wrinkles that are very noticeable. Of course, cosmetology can solve a number of these problems, but only full-fledged blepharoplasty can solve them all at once and forever. With circular blepharoplasty, problems such as the removal of excess tissue and hernias, bags and bruises under the eyes are solved in one go. After circumferential blepharoplasty, men are greatly transformed after losing twenty years of age.
