Eyes are the window to the soul, so it’s no surprise that most of our beauty routines revolve around emphasizing them! With the right beauty and makeup routine, your eyes will literally shine and positively mesmerize everyone in the room – they really can look magic. Once your eyes are in check, you’ll find that they look bigger and brighter, making your face look more youthful and fresher throughout the day. And just how should you go about emphasizing this lovely feature? Read on to find out!
De-Puff Regularly
Puffy skin around the eyes is going to minimize your actual eyeballs, making them look smaller overall. Curb puffiness by applying cooling cucumber, cold chamomile teabags or just a refrigerated spoon to your eyes first thing in the morning. You can also try facial massage with a jade roller, jade is naturally cold, so it drains excess puffiness and sends blood to the right areas of your face.
Get Plenty of Sleep
A great way of making your eyes pop is to make sure that they are well rested! Getting enough sleep improves skin, hair, weight and your brain, so it’s well worth prioritizing above anything else. Get between six and eight hours a night at least, and you’ll find that your eyes sparkle all on their own.
Colour Correct Dark Circles
Dark circles can be a symptom of a lack of rest or they can be a natural feature that stays for good, either way, they can make your eyes look smaller. Colour correct your dark circles by applying a peach-toned concealer under your eyes. This will counteract with the purple-blue undertone and create a brightening effect.
Curl Your Lashes
Open up your eyes and make them look wide by curling your top and bottom lashes on a daily basis. This makes you look more awake and highlights your lashes, making your eyes pop.
Lift Your Waterline
Applying a white, cream or beige to your lower waterline is a great quick tip for making your eyes look bigger. This creates a bit of an optical illusion, making it look like your eyes are that little bit bigger and wider than they actually are. Light liner also makes you look fresh.
Emphasize Your Crease
Quality eye makeup is perfect for emphasizing your eyes and making them pop! Enhancing your crease will beautify and highlight the natural shape of your eyes, making them stand out and look far bigger than they are naturally. Choose a subtle neutral tone in a matte, buttery formula for a natural look.
Highlight Inner Corners
Adding a little shimmer to your inner corners will bring the glam whilst also making your eyes look gorgeous and open. Choose a champagne toned shimmer shadow to pull some light into the darkest area of your eyes. This also adds to your overall beauty look without throwing anything off balance. If you want to get creative with colour, you can always use a light toned gold, lilac or soft pink.
Brush Your Brows
Well framed eyes are going to pop more. Whether you have a full brow routine or you’re more of a brush and go kind of gal, paying some attention to your eyebrows will help to make your peepers stand out.
Apply Mascara
Of course, you’ll need a few layers of mascara to enhance your eyes and lengthen your lashes. A flutter of eyelashes is going to make you feel feminine and alluring, applying to top and bottom will make your eyes look huge.
