Face lifts are typically thought of as a positive, uplifting, thing. Whether they are actually ON your aging face, or if it’s a play on words as a “face lift” elsewhere.
So if you’ve been reading my blog for the past 3 weeks, you’ve heard me mention about the annoying toilet flood that happened in my own home. It destroyed about 1/4 of the downstairs of my house and left me and my hubby and 3 kiddos in limbo in our own home for about 3 weeks. Buuut, on the bright side, my house got it’s own little face lift!!
Here are my before and afters:
So not only are houses getting face lifts in my household, but I just gave my eyes a little face lift with just an eyeshadow technique. I call it, the “upside down eyeliner” trick. I literally got a couple compliments on this look within an hour of sporting it out. People couldn’t tell what exactly it was I had done, but they liked my eye makeup!!
To get this instant eye lift look, all you have to do is to focus on using a deep shade of shadow only on the lower lash line, and swooping it upwards at then ends. “Abracadabra, give me lifted non-droopy eyes!!” Poof!!
I used a deep plum/bronze eyeshadow pan from Stila (Barefood Contessa- $18) and took it from the inner tear duct on the lower lash line and made a fairly thick swooping line of color that was pulled upwards towards my temple. This is an ever so subtle trick that is somehow easier to pull off a winged look on the lower lash line than it is the upper line.
So what is your easiest trick for a face lift without the surgery??
