1. Focus Shadow Above the Crease — Not In It
Don’t try to define the natural crease if it’s disappearing. Instead, create a new crease slightly above the natural fold. This lifts the entire eye visually.
2. Ditch the Harsh Black Liner
Harsh lines close in the eyes. Use a soft brown or charcoal pencil, then smudge slightly upward and outward. This gives a subtle winged lift — without looking “done.”
3. Highlight the Center of the Lid
Even if your lid space is shrinking, a pop of light shimmer or satin in the center creates the illusion of a rounder, more open eye. Use a fingertip and press, not swipe.
4. Curl Your Lashes — and Focus on the Outer Third
A good curl plus mascara on the outer lashes gives a gentle lift. Bonus tip: use a lash comb afterward to avoid clumps, which can weigh down the eye.
5. Tightline the Upper Waterline Only
Skip lining under the eye — it can drag the eye down. Instead, tightline your top waterline with a soft pencil. It defines the eye without closing it in or taking up lid space.
💬 Your eyes tell your story — they don’t need to look younger, just more awake and more like you.
