Hooded eyes, non surgical solutions please

My eyes are really quite hooded, I'm 53. I would not consider surgery and am very worried about Botox though I would consider it.
Can anyone please advise the best remedies they've found please?
Ideally as non invasive as possible but I suspect they're beyond what a facial could achieve

Sorry to be blunt but surgery is your only option I think - and I say this as someone with very hooded eyes. Botox won’t do anything, even if you had a bit to try to raise your brows, the issue is with the loose skin and only surgery can fix that, no creams or botox xx

They really don't look that bad. A bit of eyeshadow would totally disguise the slight hood. Plus if you line your upper lashes and wear a thickening and lengthening mascara it would obscure them even more. Add a pair of glasses and they would be totally invisible!Wink

I would only consider something more medical if they were obscuring eyesight. I've got hooded eyes. Well more baggy eyes lids really as they weren't hooded when I was younger. No one has ever commented. People still think I look youthful. Appearance, I think, is more about your over all look and attitude than one feature unless it's extremely prominent. And most people have a slight hood to their eyes.

I’m not sure there are any remedies apart from
Surgery.

However,there are some amazing make up tutorials on You Tube and they really can make all the difference. Have you watched any and tried out some techniques?

I have the same problem. I hate my hooded eyes but am also terrified of surgery. This lady does a great tutorial for hooded eyes - short of anything more drastic, it really makes a difference.

Microcurrent devices. I use the Nuface fix and the v cheap Aldi visage one. Helps a lot with aging baggy eyes. I'm 53 as well. Plus I use The Ordinary fractionated eye contour serum. Bit pricey but A little bottle lasts months.
Your eyes look fine tbh. Mine were always a little hooded so I'm not really that bothered as long as the tone of the skin isn't crepey.
