How to treat downward turning ("Katie Holmes") on multi-ethnic Caucasian and Asian hooded eyes? (photos)

August 31, 2016
Asked By:Cheryl85 in Los Angeles, CA

I am 30 y/o, inherited a tapered lid crease and hooded eye from Asian side. My eye shape turns downward at the putter corner from my Causian side of family (many in my family tree have it). One eye & brow is slightly lower. I wear heavy eye makeup to improve shape. I'd like to look less droopy and more almond/cat shaped without completely changing my appearance. Is this complicated to treat? I am including photos w/ no makeup, makeup, and and Caucasian fathers eyes near my age as reference.
