I'm 50 but find my eyes are hardly visible anymore due to the above.
Bleph is on the cards but not yet but I retain a lot of fluid in my eyelid / eyebrow area and have genetically inherited hooded eyelids.
Any tips ?

Oooh following, same age same condition!

I went for consult for upper bleph and he told me I didn't need one - I did not and do not agree.

OP have you tried sleeping in an elevated position? Not for the hooded eyelids, but it might help keep fluid from settling around your eyes while you sleep.

You can also get tape to apply to your eyelid which can improve the look of hooded eyelids, not sure how good it is.

Obviously these are just temporary fixes, but might help.

@SiobahnRoy where on the eyelid does the gold eyeshadow go?

whynotagain · 24/11/2024 21:11

So.. peptides? What do they do ? And thanks for the links . Do they work immediately ?

Well I think they work over time, nothing works overnight. Gold eyeshadow on the top lash line 💯

I watched an online shopping channel with someone selling eyelid tape.

It's tiny shaped sections of sellotape basically that you put just above the eye and it recreates the crease.

The difference on her was phenomenal.

I'm not sure if they'd be obvious in daylight or not. Or if you could wear makeup or not. But I've been thinking of getting them and finding out!

They have different ones on Amazon. Prices start around a fiver from various places.

I tried the eyelid tape things. They were rubbish - really visible and didn’t work that well. Impossible to disguise them with make-up either.

i Have the same hooded lids/puffy eyes problem, but every single cream etc I try reacts with my eyes and makes it worse.

Use cold damp facecloth on your eyes in the morning.

Just bite the bullet and have the blepharoplasty.

I had it done earlier this year and am delighted with it. Feel like I can see better when driving as well. Less tired.
