Hooded Eyes
Wide, open eyes are a sign of youth and beauty. As we age the space between our eyebrows and eyelids decreases and gets smaller as the supporting structures and muscles that elevate the brow weaken. Hooded eyes are a common sign of ageing and appear when excess skin creases and folds over the lid (due to the lowering of the brow), which makes the eyelid appear smaller or, in some cases, makes it disappear completely. Some people have hooded eyes as a result of genetics or because of their ethnicity.
