What to Do About Two Different Eye Lids? (photo)

My eyelids are two different sizes, and I guess it's always been like this, but lately it's been getting more noticeable. I've read with age sometimes the eyelid droops a little, but I'm only 22! I know I'm wearing makeup in the photo, but I think that just emphasizes the difference more since I actually did a smaller eyeliner line on my right eye. What can I do about this? not surgical if possible haha

There are some other subtle difference in the two sides. The right eye seems to rest at a higher position in the face than the left side. It also appears that the left eye might be a little bigger than the right eye. If you are concerned about these... more
