Alright, here’s a revelation that’s so simple it might surprise you: the best non-surgical eye lift isn’t some complicated treatment or expensive procedure—it’s mascara. Yep, just mascara.
Hear me out. Have you ever looked closely at photos of yourself to figure out what makes you appear better in some compared to others? If not, it’s probably because you haven’t spent as much time scrutinizing your own face as I have, which I often do for my job. This involves zooming in on high-resolution photos of my face, analyzing everything from makeup finishes to skin changes.
For the past week, I’ve been focused on how different products affect the eye area, especially on droopy lids and dark circles. And the simplest solution? Mascara. It might seem obvious, but when applied correctly, mascara can be one of the quickest ways to give your eyes an instant lift. False lashes are great too, but mascara wins for being fast and fuss-free.
When you look at before and after photos, the difference is clear. Even if you’re not one to apply mascara every day, it’s amazing the effect it can have. My lashes are pretty much invisible without mascara, which means my droopy eyelids are more noticeable. But with mascara, everything just seems brighter and more awake.
The trick with mascara is not just slapping it on. You need to make sure your lashes are nicely curved upward, well-separated, and elongated without looking clumpy. Choosing the right mascara for your lashes is crucial too, as it should provide the lift and separation you need.
I realized the power of mascara when I was reviewing some photos recently. Although these photos were initially taken for a lip product, I noticed my eyes looked significantly more youthful just by using mascara.
So, while this isn’t some groundbreaking discovery, it was a big enough realization for me to share with you. I’ll be testing a few mascaras to find my top picks, so stay tuned for more. Mascara preferences vary, and the best way to find what works for you is to try different ones. My current favorite is Clarins Supra Volume in brown, but I also like Chanel Volume de Chanel and Guerlain Maxi Lash.
