Make-up Tricks for Bright eyes

Every day, when you go out you realize those unsightly dark circles around your eyes, which made you look older. If you don't want to face the day looking like something the cat dragged in, you really have to learn some make-up tricks and eye skin care tips:

Treat your eye area gently. This is the most delicate part of your face. Cleanse with care; blot, never rub.  

Reduce puffy eyes by splashing with cold water or applying a cold compress (ice cubes in a washcloth): 15 seconds on, 15 seconds off.  

When you put on mascara, don’t lower your chin—that’s how mascara gets on your lid. 

Get eye shadow to stay in place by priming lids with moisturizer and foundation. 

Always use your ring finger to apply moisturizer or concealer to the eye area. It puts the least amount of pressure on the skin.  

Never put mascara on lower lashes; it casts a shadow on your undereye, making the area look darker. 

Open up eyes: Apply a light eye shadow (like ivory or gold) just above the lash-line and along inner corners of your eyes.  

Stop pencil eyeliner from smudging by applying powder shadow (in a matching or slightly darker shade) over the pencil. 

Switch to brown mascara for a softer look for day.
