How to Lift Droopy, Downturned Eyebrows with Makeup

Quick answer: To lift droopy, downturned brows, raise the arch slightly, keep the brow tail pointing up and out (not down), and don't extend the tail past a downward angle. A lifted, slightly arched shape visually opens the eyes and reduces a tired, dragged-down look. A stencil makes it easy to place a lifted shape evenly.

Why brows droop with age

Skin loosens and brows can settle lower and turn down at the tail, which can look tired. Reshaping the tail upward is the fix.

How to lift brows with makeup

• Raise the arch slightly above your natural line.
• Angle the tail up and out, never down.
• Keep the front soft so the lift reads at the arch.
• Use an arched or lifted stencil — see brows for hooded eyes.
