We notes that in our twenties and thirties,
we have more
lashes, so our eyes look bigger, brighter, and more attractive. However, as estrogen levels start to decline, usually when
we're in our forties,
lashes get lighter and
shorter—and that can
make eyes look smaller, tired, and, well, older.
Eyelashes can be
shortened to reduce this irritation and to create a more natural, clean appearance. ... Trim the
eyelashes with small scissors. Start on the outside of the eye, trimming each
eyelash strand-by-strand to desired length. Caution on cutting away too much of the
lashes.
