I just hit 47, and it freaked me the hell out. Maybe because The Great Eye Infection of March 2013 left me with what looks to be some permanent drooping of the outer upper eyelids.
(my eyes have always had a natural downward slant at the outer corners anyway)
Anyway, my eye makeup techniques of the past are accentuating the droopiness rather than making me look HAWT. What should I be doing?
Also, I'm gradually going from 25 years of bleached blonde to light brown, and tomorrow to med. brownish red.The Elderly do not have the energy to touch up 1 1/2" of dark brown & silvery gray roots every damn month, so every time I get color I'm going to try a wee bit darker shade and see how I like it.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, I left my $$$ camera in my boat bag & sunscreen exploded all over it/into it, and it is completely greasy ruined.
1st pic: Me the first day back @ work after 16 days of eye infection. I only had on eye makeup & lip gloss here. I *think* I had a beigy color on the lid, and a brown in the crease and outer C. Dollar Tree mascara and liner, as I was still tossing my mascaras and liners daily at this point to make sure I wasn't re-infecting. Can you see the left lid (the right in the pic) drooping more? What makeup shading'/highlighting tricks can I use to
minimize this?
