As collagen, elastin, and fat decrease with age, eyelids get droopier. “Genetics determine when your skin will sag and to what extent. “And like any skin aging, sun exposure hastens the effect”. As a result, some women have sagging in thier late 30s.

To the Rescue: No eye cream alone will reverse sagging once the skin begins its downward slide. Only surgery gives you truly long-term improvement. But artfully appiled eye makeup can make drooping lids less noticeable. “The trick is to define the lashline and neutralize the lid. Apply a light, nude-colored shadow ( like cream or mocha, depending on your skin tone) from your lashes to your brow. Next, dip a liner brush, in a gray, brown, or black shadow, and apply colour as close to the base of the top lashes as possible. “Shadow creates a softer, more natural look than a pencil liner. Finish with dark-brown or black mascara.
