Makeup on your droopy eyes should be less, as tons of heavy eye makeup will actually highlight the flaws and add years to your face. Avoid thick, black eyeliner and heavy eyeshadow<\/a>, as it accentuates the drooping eyes. Also, women who use too much makeup are perceived as trying to hide their looks, as if trying to hide from themselves.<\/p>\n

To appear confident and beautiful, use makeup subtly. A dash of blush on the cheeks, a little bit of mascara and lipstick with gloss will be the best look for you.

3. Apply makeup with open eyes<\/h2>\n

5. Create the crease<\/h2>\n

\"CreateCreate a crease with a soft brush, which will add depth to the\u00a0eyeshadow<\/a>. Swipe the brush in clockwise motion which will build dimension. The soft brush will make it easier to put on the eyeshadow as well as blending it in.<\/p>\n

Start by applying neutral, best\u00a0matte eye shadow shade<\/a>\u00a0closer to your eye, which can be flesh toned. The eyeshadow should be from the lash line to the brow bone which will create an even canvas, and cover any skin discoloration on your lids. An oval soft brush will be your best choice.<\/p>\n

For hooded eyes, you have to apply the shadow from top to bottom with small strokes, which will prevent the \u2018skipping\u2019 effect on loose skin. When you are over 60, the skin might be too loose, so reach with your other hand, and lift up the skin when you apply the shadow.<\/p>\n

6. Use a medium matte above the natural crease<\/h2>\n

Medium matte shade will be the best friend for your eyes. The color can be your choice, but the type should be matte. This color will create the illusion of a bigger crease and make your eyelid hood look receded. Look straight into the mirror and put on this color over the actual crease and sweep along the shape of the eye. It might feel too high the first time, but it is alright. The eyeshadow has to be visible, or else the hood will not appear to be pushed back.<\/p>\n

8. Create thicker looking eyelashes<\/h2>\n

Make the eyelashes look longer with a darker eyeshadow and wedge brush. The trick is to push the eyeshadow, wet or dry in the roots of the lashes with the wedge brush. This will create a subtle, soft line which will open up your eyes, make them look bigger and giving you thicker eyelashes.<\/p>\n

9. Nourish your eyelids<\/h2>\n

\"NourishWhen you\u00a0take care of your skin<\/a>, remember to nourish the lids as well. The eyelid skin might get thinner and loosen up as we age. It becomes more delicate too.
