A few years ago, I looked in the mirror and realized I now have droopy eyelids & hooded eyes. I had other problems I noticed as well of course, but so far the only sign of aging that REALLY bothered me was my sagging brow area. My eyelids had a creepy texture and there were freckles appearing on them...not to mention the extreme sensitivity around the eye area.

As we age, our eyes can become hooded, where the skin of our brows becomes heavy and droops over our eyelids, covering our eyelids partially, or in some cases fully.
This makes us look tired and can add an extra 5 to 10 years to our appearance.
Is there something that can help us feel a bit more confident in aging gracefully?
Well, first and foremost, you need to learn some new tricks on how to do your makeup after 50. The routine you've developed over the years is clearly not working any longer.
Here are 3 makeup tips, that will lift your eyes and reduce the appearance of droopy eyelids.
The best and easiest way to open up your aging eyes is by focusing on your eyelashes. The better your lashes look, the less your droopy eyelids will be visible.
Haven't found the perfect mascara? No surprise!
Aging and menopause often result in hormonal imbalances that thin our hair, brows, and lashes.
The mascara needed for your thinning eyelashes is completely different than what is needed for a 23-year-old's eyelashes.
To combat droopy eyes, you need a mascara that is designed specifically for thin and sparse lashes (more on that later).
The shape of your hooded eyes puts your brows in the spotlight, so it's important to make them bolder, thicker, and more defined.
It's best to use a pencil that color-matches your natural brow hair and offers an instant & defined eyebrow look.
Dabbing a bit of a highlighter underneath the brow is very helpful to emphasize the brow bone.
That will give you a well-needed eye lift and also draw focus away from your sagging eyelids.
Reducing the appearance of droopy eyelids and hooded eyes is all about lifting and opening your eyes.
The best way to do that is by making your natural eyelashes and eyebrows stronger, healthier, and longer.
Because it's getting harder for your aging body to grow and sustain long & thick beauty hair by itself - it needs all the help it can get.
By incorporating lash & brow enhancing serums into your daily routine you will grow your lashes and brows longer& thicker + reverse the hair aging process.
Step 1: Maximise the length & volume of your eyelashes to lift your eyes.
The longer & thicker your eyelashes will be, the less your droopy eyelids will be visible.
Step 2: Make your eyebrows thicker and more defined.
This will draw focus away from your eyelids and onto your brows.

A few months ago, I saw this advertised, so I thought I'd give it a try, it's made such a difference, and I'm so pleased with the result. This stuff really works! Just a couple of months ago I was hopeless about my droopy eys, but now it feels like I have turned back the beauty clock. Worth every penny!

I've tried so many mascaras over the years but none have matched the quality and perfect results Rumi VolumeCare + Mascara has given me. My lashes have become shorter and more sparse as I've got older but this mascara has restored them back to how I remember them when I was younger. It lengthens and thickens the lashes perfectly, so it hides my hooded eyes. It doesn't smudge (like so many others) and it is easy to remove. I've even started using the serum and it has made my natural lashes longer. Thank you Rumi xxx)

"Can't believe my luck in stumbling across Rumi. Having wasted a fortune on brands claiming to meet my particular need I perhaps can be forgiven for having felt a degree of cynicism at Rumi's claims. Totally unfounded, can't believe how good this stuff is. My lashes and brows look fantastic! I've always avoided narrow brushes but this is great. Easy to apply, the effect is like I've not had in years particularly on lower lashes, and easy to remove. The price is reasonable too. I have no hesitation in recommending this mascara and serum to anyone."
