How to rejuvenate your tired eyes
1. Ditch the contacts. If you're a regular lens wearer, you know
that contacts can cause eyes to become red and dry on their own.
When coupled with too little sleep, the effect can be jarring. So
on those tired days, skip the contacts to avoid redness and irritation.
Glasses help in camouflaging tired eyes.
2. Shadow strategically. Once you've prepped your eyes, play up
the awake look with make-up. Think light and bright; that is, use
shadows that are light in colour and bright with a hint of shimmer.
Both qualities help eyes to look awake. Sweep a bone or banana shadow
from lashline to browbone, and lightly contour the crease with a
medium-toned shade.
3. Line right. Makeup artists use two tricks to make eyes look brighter;
navy lineron top lashes, and a nude or white pencil on the lower
rim of the eye. Navy liner makes the whites of your eyes look even
whiter than they are, and a subtle swipe of white or nude pencil
on the lower rim furthers that effect. Tote along your nude or white
pencil for during-the-day touchups.
4. Curl lashes. To really make eyes look good, use an eyelash curler
and a curling mascara in tandem. This combo will help lashes sweep
up and out, instantly making you look more awake.
5. Pencil in the finishing touch. Take a close look at any photo
of a female celebrity who's out for a big event. Her eyes look big
and bright, right? Look even closer and you'll see this is due to
a bit of shimmer in the inner corner of the eye-shimmer that reflects
against te skin, causing peepers to light up. Get this effect by
dotting a white shimmer pencil lightly under the inner corner of
your eyes. Use your ring finger.
