Eye makeup for droopy eyelids

• What are droopy eyelids?
• Which eyeshadow color should I use for droopy eyelids?
• How do I apply makeup to my eyes when I have droopy eyelids?

Normally, the focus of eye make-up is on the movable eyelid. If the eyelids are droopy, this is covered by the upper eyelid.

Use matte eyeshadows in neutral shades to accentuate the eyes and optically correct drooping eyelids.

Apply a light foundation shade such as ivory to your entire eyelid to open up your eyes and make them appear larger. Apply a darker, neutral shade such as taupe just above your invisible crease to create a natural shadow that creates an optical crease and gives your eyes depth and definition . You can also use an even darker shade such as dark brown to emphasize and thicken your lash line.

Highlight your inner corner of your eye and your brow bone with Ivory to lift the eye and make it appear even more radiant.

You can put together our individual eyeshadow palettes according to your wishes. If you want to optically conceal your drooping eyelid with eyeshadow, then we recommend the eyeshadow refills in the colors ivory, champagne, taupe and dark brown.

Prime your eyelid with a light, matte eyeshadow only. Be careful not to apply the light shade to your droopy eyelid, as this will only accentuate it. The primer also ensures that your mascara does not run afterwards. It also conceals fine veins and redness and removes oils and fats from the eye. The primer also makes it easier to blend the following eyeshadows.

To create an optical crease, look straight into the mirror. Now apply the darker eyeshadow just above your droopy eyelid on the bone using the narrow surface of the soft #7 shading brush. Make sure that you only apply the color in the area between the "middle of the pupil" and the "end of the eyebrow and the back corner of the eye". If you go too far down in the back of the eye, you will visually pull your eye downwards.

Now shade the eyeshadow downwards into your eyelid with a brush until all the tones are softly blended into one another and the edges are softly drawn.

Eyeshadow: Taupe , Brush: #7 Soft Shading Brush

Apply the eyeshadow to the back third of the lower lash line and let it fade out to about the middle of the eye by blending the eyeshadow well. Be careful not to use shades that are too dark here, as this could visually pull your eyes downward.

Eyeshadow: Taupe , Brush: #5 Flat Detail Brush and #6 Flat Eyeshadow Brush

To open your eyes even further, we apply targeted highlights. The highlight under the eyebrow is only applied at the highest point to visually lift the eye. Be careful not to apply the highlighter to the entire area, as this will make the drooping eyelid more prominent.

This helps to distract attention from the drooping eyelids and open the eyes.

Important: Do not apply highlight or shimmery eyeshadow directly to the drooping eyelid.

Eyeshadow: Champagne , Brush: #17 Detail Blender Brush

Optically thicken your lash line by drawing a delicate eyeliner with a dark eye shadow. This will make your lashes look thicker and give your eyes more expression.

Beauty expert tip: If you want a more intense result, you can moisten the brush a little and then apply Dark Brown.

Eyeshadow: Dark Brown , Brush: #3 Eyeliner brush for the moistened version. #5 Flat detail brush with dry eyeshadow powder. Use stamping movements to go as close to the lash line as possible.

Our beige eye pencil ensures a wide-awake and open look. Apply the light, nude-colored eyeliner to your waterline.

Now all you have to do is apply a generous amount of mascara to your eyelashes. For droopy eyelids, our motto is: more is more. We recommend 2-3 coats of our mascara. The more voluminous your eyelashes, the more you will conceal your droopy eyelids.

Beauty expert tip: If you have very straight eyelashes and want to open your eyes even further, you can optionally use an eyelash curler before applying mascara to give your eyelashes additional curl.

Eyebrows frame the eye area and should not be missing from your make-up. With the #1 eyebrow brush you can brush your eyebrows upwards. This will also open up your eyes. Fill in small gaps with the #4 eyebrow brush and eye shadow in taupe. You can then brush through your eyebrows again with our #1 eyebrow brush to shape your hairs and distribute the powder pigments evenly.
