My eyelid on one eye is going up and it's making my eye open really wide, but why? (photos)

Asked By:koobzz in North Carolina, NC

I know in one I have makeup on and a filter, which was about 9-10 months ago, but you can kind of filter that out of your mind and see the eyelids themselves. In the more recent picture you can really see how my right eyelid has gotten really skinny and its going up and making my eye look huge. There is little to no inner corner of my eyelid. I have been noticing it in every picture and I would really like to know maybe why this is happening and how to fix it. They both look very different now.
