Many celebrities such as Blake Lively have hooded eyes.

Hooded Eyes

Many people are born with “hooded eyes”.  This term can be loosely defined as eyes that are set in such a way that the skin above the eye protrudes over the natural crease of the eyelid.  The crease of the eyelid is the line on the lid that forms the back curve of the eyelid when the eye is open.  Many celebrities including Paris Hilton, Blake Lively, Leelee Sobieski, and Malin Akerman all have what can be considered hooded eyes.

So what can be done to address hooded eyes?  Makeup tricks can be used to help create an alluring shape and a defined eyelid.  To enhance hooded eyes with makeup, try applying a light eye shadow in the inner corner of the eye and on the brow bone.  Then, apply a medium or dark shadow on the crease and hooded area.  Line the upper lid to open the eye, and apply black mascara to the upper lashes.

If the tips above do not give you a dramatic enough effect, you can try combining them with Eye Magic eye lift strips.  These strips are designed to add support to the crease of the eyelid, creating a more defined, visible lid.

Droopy Eyelids

The difference between hooded eyes and droopy eyelids is that unlike hooded eyes which people are born with, eyelid droop usually occurs over time and is associated with loss of elasticity in the skin above the eye.  Eyelid droop is very common among men and women, who, as they age, begin to lose firmness in their skin.  Once the skin above the eye loses elasticity, the loose skin above the crease slides down, obscuring the lid below and creating droopy lids.  Droopy lids are dealt with slightly differently than hooded eyelids.

Hooded eyes before and after using Eye Magic

Several makeup tips are available for dealing with droopy eyelids.  First, use light or gold shadows to help make the eye area more visible.  Apply a base shadow and contour the back curve of the lid with a darker color.  Lightly apply eyeliner (preferably not deep black; use darker gray or brown, deep purple or green) and use mascara to detract attention from your drooping eyelids.

If the drooping can’t be improved with makeup alone, Eye Magic can provide dramatic and effective help with this issue.  Eye Magic was designed to add support to the crease of the eyelid, preventing the loose, droopy skin from sliding forward over the eyelids.  Eye Magic works without any makeup or in conjunction with makeup, to help shape, redefine, and beautify the eyes.  Use the tips above and experiment with the Eye Magic strips to find the right combination.  When applied properly and combined with makeup, you can take years off your look and unveil your beautiful eyes once again.

I am 38 years old and have recently noticed my eye lids are becoming droopy or “hooded”. I have talked to several plastic surgeons but they have suggested I am too young for a lift and the heavy lids may be a result of an allergy. I went online and started researching different products. I found this website and ordered Eye Magic. Because this product is so inexpensive, I figured I had nothing to lose. My first attempt was seemless!!! I had an instant lift and felt 100 times better. I have even brought them to work and demonstrated how easy and effective this product is for droopy lids. I am sold on this product and am happy to put my name behind it.

Eye Magic eye strips can help with drooping eyelids that result from botox injections

One of the most common side effects of botox is eyelid drooping, and many people are desperate to quickly fix this issue. Some of our customers have reported that one or both eyes experienced a significant droop after being injected in the forehead with botox.

Although Eye Magic is not specifically designed to help with drooping eyelids that result from botox, our customers have reported that our eye strips have greatly helped with this issue.

Eye Magic Eye Lift Strips add support to drooping upper eyelid skin by invisibly holding the skin in its natural position, providing brighter, more defined eyes, and instantly taking years off the face.

Here are two testimonials from Eye Magic users that have experienced eyelid drooping after botox injections:

Had a little botox in my forehead that made my eyes droopy. They couldn’t fix it with more botox but I’ve had great results with Eye Magic. I feel beautiful instead of embarrassed by my drooping eyelids. Thank you so much.

I recently have had some issues with one eye as a result of botox in the forehead…it was horrible. That eyelid already had excessive skin, due to a car accident. I searched the web for days trying to find help. I saw your product and after I read the testimonials, I thought I’d try them. I got the combo pack, not sure which shape would be best. Oh my GOSH! I couldn’t believe how they work! One thing I didn’t realize is how invisible they become! I was also worried about using them when I play golf (because of the humidity) but today they didn’t budge and the adhesive held tight!! I can’t begin to tell you how incredible this product is. Those are 2 very important points that should be very clear in your description. I may have surgery some day, but in the meantime, you have changed my attitude and a big part of my life!

Sandra from Australia writes:

“I find, after experimenting like crazy, that I only need half the strips for the outer edge of my eyes as I don’t have the whole lid sagging, just the outer edges, so I cut them almost in half with an angle.  And even today, I popped on the strips for round eyes (cut almost in half) just to use them up and they work great (I bought a combination pack).

My son is a child actor and in April, before I discovered your product, I went along to his usual yearly photo shoot to update the portfolio and they dragged me in for a shot with him and my daughter.  I only saw the photo yesterday, and, oh my god I wish I’d had the strips on back then!  The outer edges of my eyes are shocking and drooping so much, I look so old.  Today I’m confidently wearing the strips–but there’s no camera in sight.”

Next time you’ll look great Sandra!  As she found out by using her natural creativity, the Eye Magic strips can be utilized in different ways. They can be cut to any size, either on or off the backing, to accommodate just about any area of eyelid drooping. For example, if your eyelids are sagging only in the center, cut a smaller piece off the top of the curve of the strip and apply it only under the specific area that needs support. And, for example, as Sandra found, if your eyelids are sagging only on the outer edges, cut the strips in half, snip the ends at an angle and apply the shorter pieces only to the outer area of your lids.  As you experiment, you’ll find what works best for you.  Cutting the ends of the strips at an angle will allow them to blend into the natural lines of the eyelid skin.  Don’t forget to use the gel!  So experiment, get creative and lift those lids!  You’ll look and feel younger instantly!
