Makeup for the impending century: secrets of the procedure with step-by-step photos

The problem of the impending century worries many girls, and it arises, in most cases, from a hereditary predisposition. From a biological point of view, drooping folds can be acquired with age - due to the natural aging process and a decrease in skin elasticity. In physiognomy, the explanation for drooping eyelids is simple: a person has achieved his goals, has inflated narcissism and narcissism, and is capable of solving complex life problems.

Often, sudden changes in the face occur due to severe allergic reactions. Therefore, many dermatologists and plastic surgeons do not advise using cosmetics from cheap manufacturers that contain lead, other heavy metals and harmful particles. Makeup for the looming eyelid helps to effectively hide obstructions and enlarge the eye itself. With step-by-step photos, the makeup artist's technique becomes more understandable and accessible.

A drooping eyelid significantly reduces the size of the eye, so in plastic surgery this anomaly is eliminated using blepharoplasty. The secret is that eye enlargement is possible in other ways. Special makeup for the impending eyelid will help with this. To understand the technique of applying cosmetics that will hide a flaw, you should use the instructions with step-by-step photos, which you will find below in the article.

What is a “dropping eyelid”?

Many people do not understand what structure the eye has, where the various elements are located, and how to distinguish a moving eyelid from a drooping eyelid. Droopy eyelid is a protruding bump above the main upper eyelid that can appear with age or is inherited genetically.

Why does it appear:

Belonging to a particular race, which is characterized by this trait;
Hormonal changes and aging;
Genetics;
Weight change;
Allergy.

Drooping eyelids are characterized by certain features that can make your appearance seem less than ideal:

Poor quality cosmetics let you down - they roll off, wear off or smear;
It is almost impossible to draw arrows normally with a pencil or felt-tip pen - the tips are thick, look uneven, break off, etc.;
Mascara leaves marks on the skin of the fixed eyelid.

Many Hollywood movie actresses undergo plastic surgery, or regularly hide their protruding tubercle above their mobile eyelid. Nicknames include Blake Lively, Jessica Bill, Claudia Schiffer and many others.

The heavy structure of the eye with an overhanging eyelid requires a special technique for applying cosmetics:

No bright highlights;
It is best to even out the merging of the eyelids with moist shadows or foundations with glitter and mother-of-pearl.
Smooth gradient between colors.
Moderate application of cosmetics.
Correcting the shape of the eyebrows is an obligatory part of the make-up. They must be broken.
Apply any shades of light to the inner area of the eye and under the eyebrow.
Under the lower eyelashes of the eyelid, as well as along the mucous membrane, it is advisable not to draw anything with a pencil or eyeliner.

Daytime makeup with step-by-step photos

Prepare cosmetics:

eyebrow pencil and corrector;
primer or any other eye base;
foundation in the color of the dermis;
black mascara and tweezers;
shadows of a pale sand shade (or baked milk, pearlescent cream, etc.), as well as light brown or pale gray pearlescent; or wet peach shadows;
light pencil without glitter;
highlighter.

Stages of applying daytime makeup for the looming eyelid with step-by-step photos:

Apply the base to the entire surface of the skin around the eye.
Using tapping movements with your fingers, tap in the foundation.
Comb your eyebrow with a brush, remove excess hairs, outline and draw.
Secure with gel.
Take a light shade or creamy peach shade and apply it to the entire surface of the eyelid, extending 0.5 cm upward.
Shadows of a light brown or pale gray shade, blend with weak strokes with a fluffy brush over the protruding tubercle.
Curl your eyelashes and lightly apply mascara.
If necessary, at the very base of the eyelashes along the upper eyelid, draw a middle line with a black pencil and then shade it. Or make a thin line between eyelashes with dark eyeliner.
Draw a white pencil along the mucous membrane and place emphasis on the inner corner at the very beginning of the eye section.
Apply highlighter to the area under the eyebrow and diagonally above the cheekbone. Simple makeup will help open up your eyes, as in the photo, perfect for deep-set and small eyes.

Below is a step-by-step video lesson on the topic.

Shape your eyebrows.

The transformation begins with the eyebrows. If you want to visually open up your eyes, you should shape your eyebrows into a raised, elongated line. You can do this yourself or contact a specialist.

For flawless fixation, colorless mascaras and eyebrow gels are suitable. If you don’t want to weigh down your makeup, give preference to slate pencils.

Evening makeup step by step

This make-up is characterized by greater richness and an abundance of cosmetics.

Cosmetics to be prepared:

Primer or base;
Foundation to match;
Eyeliner black or brown for eyes;
Eyeshadows in 3 colors: white matte (or cream, pale yellow), dark gray or dark chocolate, gray or chocolate (medium shade);
Dark mascara – gray, brown or any dark;
Eyebrow product with a fixing effect.

For brown eyes with hooded eyeshadow

It is easier to choose the right shade of eyeshadow for brown eyes, since the choice is wider.

Instructions:

First, a matte leveling shade is applied to the eyelid. This can be a base for makeup or a beige shade.
Then, having chosen a dark blue shade of the shadows, apply the shadows in the fold between the movable eyelid and the bone of the brow bone and stretch it towards the eyebrow.
Closer to the eyelashes, slightly retreating from the inner corner of the eye, apply a dark gray or black matte shade of shadow to the outer corner. The line should expand in the direction of application.
A bright, rich turquoise shade of shadow is applied a little above this line and shaded.
The unpainted area of the moving eyelid, closer to the nose, is filled with beige shadows.
Additionally, you can draw a light shaded arrow along the upper eyelid with a pencil.
The stationary area under the eyebrow up to the dark shadows is filled with light shadows.
A little dark shadow is applied to the lower eyelid, closer to the temple.
The upper eyelashes are thickly painted with mascara.

Procedure technology

To understand the precise correction of eyes with a voluminous fixed eyelid, you should understand its anatomy, as in the photo. Step-by-step implementation of the technique will allow you to hone the skill of applying cosmetics, strictly along the desired contours.

For eye makeup with drooping eyelids you will need:

Light and dark shades;
Black or brown pencil;
Eyeliner of any type, dark color;
Base;
Volume mascara;
Glue and artificial eyelashes.

Execution consists of the following steps:

Apply base to the area around the eyes.
Blend light pearlescent or light glitter over the moving and convex eyelid.
Drive a dark shade of eyeshadow into the outer part of the eyelid, blending it 2/3 into the crease.
Using a black pencil, draw a thick line around the eye and blend outward.
Use eyeliner to draw the liner, starting from 2/3 of the eyelid, gradually thickening towards the outer eyelid, ending with a sharp corner.
If desired, you can draw a thin line with eyeliner on the lower eyelid, 2/3 of the way, and shade dark shadows under it, creating a bulge and volume to the eyeball.
Apply voluminous mascara and glue on artificial eyelashes. Light makeup will highlight the beauty of your eyes.

Replace eyeshadow bases with tints.

Before choosing a shade of eye shadow that matches your skin and hair color, take care of the base. In the summer, top makeup artists put primers in the back drawer and use tints as a shadow base.

The tints boast rich pigmentation and versatility. They can be applied to the apples of the cheeks, eyelids and lips without fear of an allergic reaction. As a rule, tints are oil-based, so they also moisturize your skin.

By the way, OK Beauty has some decent options in its assortment.

Multifunctional OK Beauty tints from the Color Salute line help create long-lasting makeup. In addition to the lips, they can be applied to the apples of the cheeks and eyelids. Tints in shades Safari, Marrakech, Gypsy and Cocoa are suitable for nude daytime makeup.

For an evening look, Valkyrie, Tanami and Flamingo are suitable. They will be an ideal base for smokey eyes and will extend the durability of pencils and eyeliners. The color intensity can be adjusted depending on the degree of application.

Scheme for applying tints:

Squeeze a couple of drops of any tint onto your fingertip.
Apply tint to the center of the eyelid.
Blend the pigment over the entire surface of the eyelid until the shade becomes translucent.
For more intense color, apply another layer of tint and blend with a flat brush.

For small eyes

Those with small eyes often complain about the lack of symmetry between the sizes of the face and individual features. It is important to restore and remove this edge in order to adjust the balance as much as possible. All basic cosmetics are the same as in previous versions. In the case of makeup for small eyes with drooping eyelids, step-by-step photos present many techniques. One thing is important - a smoothly transitioning arrow is required, rushing towards the temple or the end of the eyebrow.

Execution steps:

Make a standard shading of shadows on the upper eyelid, add a small stroke under the lower eyelashes by 1/3.
In the middle of the eyelid, apply a faint blend of close or dry glitter.
Draw the upper eyelid with a black pencil and shade it.
Draw a thin line with eyeliner, extending it 45 degrees to the middle of the overhanging eyelid.
Draw a thin line along the lower eyelid, retreating half a millimeter from the mucous membrane.

Non-surgical methods

Taping

Taping of the impending eyelid is an innovative alternative to surgical correction. This non-surgical method is considered one of the safest in 2021 and gives good results. The procedure is carried out both at home and in salons and involves gluing tapes to the problem area. Elastic strips of a special patch work all the time of wearing and have a versatile beneficial effect aimed at reducing the severity or completely eliminating a cosmetic defect.

To eliminate the impending eyelid, aesthetic taping techniques are used. The essence of the procedure is to stimulate processes that ensure the removal of excess fluid and normalization of muscle tone in the problem area due to physiological effects. Tape strips, applied strictly according to the pattern, slightly lift the skin of the upper eyelid and help achieve a lymphatic drainage effect.

The advantages of tapes in eliminating the problem of the impending eyelid:

Minimal risks - cosmetic patches with soft acrylic glue do not harm the sensitive skin of the eyelids;
Accessibility - the procedure can be carried out at home, detailed instructions and videos will help eliminate mistakes;
Cost - the consumption of tapes is minimal, since the products are supplied in a wide range of sizes, which allows you to choose the optimal one;
Comfort - when wearing high-quality tapes, there is no feeling of skin tightness; you can stick the application even while you are resting.

Numerous reviews that can be found about the results of taping the upper eyelid are quite contradictory. Negative ratings are mainly related to the quality of the tapes. Regular sports patches often cause irritation, redness and other negative reactions. On sensitive skin of the upper eyelids and other delicate areas, it is recommended to use special facial tapes developed by a leading Korean brand. The premium BB FACE TAPE™ line uses high-quality materials and components, the adhesive base is hypoallergenic. The procedure, which is carried out using special tapes, is effective and can significantly improve the condition of the problem area in a non-surgical way.

To create an additional lymphatic drainage effect, it is recommended to use perforated lymph tapes. This is the latest development in the aesthetic taping industry, originally from South Korea. Thanks to special slots, kinesio tapes stimulate the functioning of the lymphatic system in the area of application, effectively removing fluid and other metabolic products from the intercellular space.

Makeup for different eye colors

Makeup for different iris colors is important, since the degree of volume and expressiveness created depends on this. Different shades in contrast give an incredible effect and significantly reduce the size of the looming eyelid. Step-by-step photos clearly show which tonal relationships look most advantageous.

Gray eyes - violet, lilac, lilac, blue, pink - all pastel shades. Don't weigh it down with dark shadow overlays.
Blue eyes - all brown tones, green, purple and pink, in some cases bright lemon and lime shades are possible.
Green eyes - brown and red-burgundy shades, blue, gray, dark colors of varying saturation.
Brown eyes - gray, green, all cold tones.

Choose a concealer that is a shade darker than your skin tone.

Concealer helps not only to disguise dark circles under the eyes, but also to open up your eyes. Girls with sagging eyelids should avoid shades that are too light. They create visual swelling around the eyes, which is a priori unsightly.

We recommend choosing a concealer that is one shade darker than your skin tone. The difference between shades will be small. Just blend it with your fingers and appreciate how fresh your look has become.

For narrow (Asian) eyes

Asian eyes can be either small or large. In terms of its structure, the moving eyelid merges with the outgoing eyelid, so the adjustment technique is not so complicated - the photo shows the step-by-step stages of working with the eyes.

Rules:

Do not line or shade the lower eyelid.
Lengthen your upper eyelashes as much as possible.
Use any shadow color in a dark saturation - blend 2/3 of the eyelid at a time, gradually moving onto the protruding eyelid.
Draw the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid several times with a white pencil.
The arrow should gradually expand, extending 30 degrees beyond the outer eyelid, or stop halfway.

Makeup for narrow Asian eyes is very simple to do.
