Does the skin of your brow bone droop over your eyelids, making them look heavy? Whether it’s due to aging or your face’s physiognomy, this drooping can make you look fatigued. But don’t worry, your makeup kit contains everything you need for a little lift! Here’s what to do:
Start with a makeup base. In addition to increasing the intensity of pigments and prolonging their hold, this product has a smoothing effect– perfect for droopy eyelids, which tend to wrinkle.
1
Apply a pale eye shadow to your upper eyelids and along the roots of your lower lashes.
Warning: if you have deep wrinkles, dark circles or bags under your eyes, it’s best to apply makeup only on your upper eyelid.
2
Next, use a slightly darker shade (like medium brown) to sculpt your eye creases. Pull your lids up from the brow and apply the eye shadow above the area where your eye droops. This will make your outer lids appear more arched.

To add more definition to the outer corners of your eyelids, apply a dark colour, like black or charcoal. Use a precision brush, starting from the lower, outside corners of your eyes up to the creases (basically creating a sideways V on each eye). Be sure not to cross the imaginary lines connecting your lower lashes to the edges of your eyebrows. And remember to blend the eye shadow well!
4
With a black pencil or liquid liner, draw a line across the outer half of the upper lashes of each eye, being sure to draw the lines slightly upward to give your eyes a little lift. But don’t draw your lines too thickly: you want a light look, not a heavy one!
Pro tip: For perfect cat eyes, make sure to follow that imaginary line we just mentioned—from the outer edge of each eyebrow to the outside corner of each eye.
5
Curl your lashes (the entire length of each one) for a natural, wide-eyed finish. Next, apply a coat of mascara–but only to the upper lashes!
6
For the finishing touch, brush your eyebrows upward, filling them in with a shadow or pencil that matches their colour. For eyes that really pop, cheat a little by creating even more of an arch above your natural brow line.
Avoid:
The Sourcils Précis eyebrow pencil is the perfect tool to sculpt and define your eyebrows with precision. Its oval tip allows you to draw fine, natural lines, while its brush is perfect for blending and styling your eyebrows. Available in a range of natural shades, this pencil allows you to create flawless brows that perfectly complement your makeup.
