This Is The Most Astonishing Eyeliner If You Have Heavy Or Hooded Eyelids

WHAT: Soshe Waterproof Precision Eyeliner*

WHY: Some of us have heavier lids as we age. Some of us have had hooded eyes since birth. Either way, this makes using eyeliner of any kind a nightmare we wouldn’t wish on our worst enemy. It makes our eyes look smaller! All the color ends up on our upper eyelids 48 minutes after application! We are inevitably raccoons by 2 pm!

We sort of resigned ourselves to rely only on mascara until the end of days. Eyeliner just isn’t for us. 

OR … is it?!

We are almost trembling to tell you about the tiniest, most long-wearing liner we discovered that seems to be made specifically for older and/or hooded lids like ours. And it’s like nothing else we’ve ever used before. 

Enter: Soshe. 

 
 
 

So how is it different? Why is it so miraculous? First, the size. Most eyeliners are already so huge at the top that if our lids hang down, they cover the line anyway. But this one is soooo petite (1.5 mm!) you can actually wriggle the tip INTO your upper line, or even slightly below, so that you’re not actually touching lid at all, just lash. This really deepens the looks of your lashes and enhances your eye color instantly—especially if you get a color other than black. They have a rich plum, a deep navy, and a burgundy brown.   

And second, we’ve tried a lottttt of “24 hour wear” eyeliners in our day, and somehow, the power of our oily, hooded lids breaks it. But this one absolutely, 100%, cross our hearts, lasts. all. day. It doesn’t transfer onto our lower waterline, it doesn’t smear onto our upper eyelids, it doesn’t smudge beneath our lashes. We don’t know how, but honestly we’re not asking questions. If it’s magic, we’ll take it. 

Here you can see how one of us looks before applying the Soshe liner:

 
 

And after:

 

Shade: Lovesick

Shade: Lovesick

 

And miraculously, it’s not even that hard to remove at the end of the day. We do use THIS* along with a cotton pad but it comes right off—no tugging or pulling. 

But now, if they could invent a pair of readers with removable lenses for our failing close-up eyesight for when we have to apply our liner close enough to the mirror to see what we’re doing, but our old eyes can’t actually see up close anymore. Maybe we’ll invent it. Million dollar idea?

But back to reality. Get this eyeliner. It will shock you.
