Hooded Eyes
Saggy eyelids and hooded eyes are one of the commonest complaints among people as they age. First, you notice your eyeliner starts blotting itself onto your brow bone, then it becomes pointless applying eyeshadow, as it all vanishes into the folds of skin and creases of the eyelid. This is because as we age; the eyelid skin becomes loose and we develop excess folds of skin. The eyebrow also descends, so the space between our eyebrows and eyelids decreases, due to the lowering of the brow. As a result, the excess skin creases and folds over the lids, making them appear smaller or, in some cases, making them disappear completely. This can even affect our peripheral vision if advanced enough. Although largely due to ageing, some people have hooded eyes because of genetics or ethnicity.
