You may not want "Bette Davis eyes"

Lining the lower lids is not good after a certain age, and I've had a theory about why that is for some time.  Here goes:As we age, our skin slackens, droops, etc. - super fun.  The lower eye lid that was once tightly related to our eye ball is now sagging, and as it does, the waterline - that moist part between the lower lashes and said ball - starts to tilt outward, giving us a delightful bloodhound effect.  Lining the lower lid only highlights this unfortunate situation.Case in point: Bette Davis in the film "What ever happened to Baby Jane?"  Yes, there are many things wrong with what's happening here cosmetically, but as you can observe, her maniacal droopiness is glorified by the dark black liner on the lower lid.  She looks like a crazy bloodhound.Bette DavisNow, in real life, and although she was an eccentric life-long smoker who never had plastic surgery as far as I can tell, Ms. Davis would not be caught dead or alive looking un-glamorous.d2fca0962ce71155239d496320a793a8What a broad.  Meanwhile, I'm delighted to report that I was visiting a highly-respected and gifted Philadelphia plastic surgeon recently (who shall remain nameless but whose initials are the same as Kentucky Fried Chicken if you leave out the "Fried") and he said I wasn't incorrect.  Bam.So you can go for Bette Davis eyes if you want, but just make sure it's from the right movie (like "Dark Victory" - she dies in the end, but looks divine while doing it).bette3
