How to Get Eye Lift Without Surgery or Botox

Tighten the skin above and below the eye area with an anti-aging eye serum.

Aging gracefully is something everyone wishes would happen to them. However, the reality is that most people notice a significant difference in their skin's appearance as they age. Skin loses firmness and elasticity and it begins to sag under and above the eye area -- which is one of the most common signs of aging. Loose skin around the eye area makes people look tired, appear older than they are, and in severe cases, can even interfere with their vision. Make eyes appear visibly younger by using a variety of light-reflecting skin and makeup products. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

  1. Eye-Lifting Serum

    • 1

      Chill the eye-lifting serum in the refrigerator overnight before placing it on the skin. In the morning, take it out of the refrigerator after you put on your makeup. Choose an eye-lifting serum that contains antioxidants and mica, which have light-reflecting properties. Mica also helps minimize the appearance of dark circles and conceals any loose skin around the eye area.

    • 2

      Apply the eye-lifting serum underneath and above the eye, just above the eyebrows. Apply it after you put on your foundation and powder since their ingredients have a tendency to break down the serum.

    • 3

      Use a patting motion as opposed to a rubbing motion when applying the eye serum. A rubbing motion causes skin irritation and stretches the delicate skin around the eye area.

    • 4

      Wait for the serum to take affect. After the serum has time to settle into and lift the skin in this area, apply your highlighter.

    Highlighter

    • 5

      Apply the highlighter in the shape of a sideways "V" on the outer corners of the eyes. This is the area slightly above the end of the eyebrow which extends out toward the beginning of the hairline and then goes back underneath the eye.

    • 6

      Place the highlighter slightly above the entire length of the eyebrow of each eye. Pick up a clean blending brush or clean concealer brush.

    • 7

      Blend in the highlighter using a blending brush. The blending brush helps to conceal any lines from the highlighting makeup.

Tips & Warnings

  • A highlighter has light-reflecting ingredients that draw attention away from eye area.
