One of my all-time favorite beauty tricks is to make my eyes appear brighter and bigger to hide the fact that I am exhausted and sleep deprived. Here are a few ways to make your eyes seem more awake. Now you don't have to use all of these steps all at once, (however you are more than welcome to) so play around and see which ones work best for your eyes.
1. White Eyeliner
Take a white eyeliner and line your water line and upper water line (also known as your tightline). By doing this, your eyes instantly look bigger! Such an awesome trick. Any white eyeliner will do. These are few I would recommend:
-NYX Jumbo Eye pencil in the color Milk. This has a very creamy consistency, it is very easy to apply, and it is only cost $4.50! Not bad at all!
-Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in the color Yeyo. It is very smooth and really does glide right on. (Just like the name says!) This is a little more on the pricey side with it being about $19, but I think you get what you pay for.
-I am currently using The Maybelline New York Unstoppable Eye Pencil in the color Fluffy Cloud. It's a great drugstore option!
*Try placing a little white eyeliner in the inner corner of your eye. It immediately brightens your eyes.
2.) Curly Lashes
Alright, let's be honest, how many of you curl your eyelashes? Hopefully you answered yes, but if you didn't, it's an easy fix. You might not think curling your lashes makes that much of a difference, but it does. Trust me! I currently use an eyelash curler by Revlon, but some great brands to check out are Chanel and Shu Uemura. I have heard great things about both of those brand's eyelash curlers!
*If you have hard to curl lashes, try applying one coat of waterproof mascara and then curl your lashes. You can then apply your regular mascara after that.
3.) Mascara
If you don't have a whole lot of time to get ready in the morning, applying just one coat of mascara can make the worlds of a difference! Even if it's the only makeup you are wearing for the day, it is amazing what mascara does for your eyes.
4.) Crease Color
This might be my favorite 'Eye Brightening' trick of all time. First you need to find a good light brown color that works for your skin tone. I really love Naked from the Urban Decay Naked Palette. All you do is pick up a little bit of the brown shadow on your eyeshadow brush and place it in the crease of your eye. Start from the outside of your eye crease and gently drag it to the inside. This gives your eyes more dimension, thus making them appear bigger.
These are just a few tricks I like to use. Mind you, I am not a makeup artist or beauty expert, but I do use all these methods pretty much every single day. And they do work! If you try out any of these tricks, let me know how it works for you! If you have any questions about products or anything like that, feel free to ask :)
