We are often told that eyes are the windows to our soul. When we talk to people, we look at their eyes, and when people smile you can see the happiness twinkle in them.

It doesn’t take long and with a few simple steps, you can make your eyes look larger, more beautiful and more awake.
It can take one glance someone’s way to get a conversation flowing, so how can you make yours stand out? Well, we’ve rounded up top tips that make your eyes pop! So that next time you try to get their attention they will look back.
Beauty Sleep
Staring at the screen before bed tires your eyes keeps you awake and ultimately leaves you with darker bags. A healthy, natural way to get those eyes looking sparkly is to put your phone down, at least 30-minutes before bedtime, and get that 8 hours of beauty sleep. This will make your eyes more vibrant and also leads to healthier skin.
Luxurious Lashes
Long eyelashes lift your eyes, gives them more depth and make them look bigger. Our natural eyelashes are often shorter and lighter than desired. But using eyelash curlers, and mascara can often be a nuisance in the morning. Alternatively, Eyelash extensions are a great way to instantly bring attention to your eyes. It reduces makeup time in the mornings and makes your eyes stand out with minimal effort on your part.
Eyeshadow Pops
Most people know that eyeshadow makes your eyes bold, but people often overlook what colour they should be wearing. First, start with a primer, then choose your eyeshadow palette carefully and pick one that compliments your eyes. For blues, think earthy oranges and rich browns, or silver for a flattering look. Brown eyes shine with gold, bronze and blues. Whilst green eyes can experiment with pinks and colours with reddish undertones.
Brow Care
We often neglect our brows, but they’re the frames to our eyes. Do not forget them, and instead consider them apart of your makeup routine. To start, make sure you pick the right colour for you. For blondes, you don’t want to be buying dark pencils. Remember brows are there to help draw attention to your eyes, not for people to gawk at the dark lines you’ve drawn. Also, be gentle with tweezing your brows, and don’t over pluck. A quick way to define them is by brushing up the hairs, carefully fill in the gaps, and then run a brush through once again to make sure it’s all blended in and look natural.
Let your soul shine through your well-looked after eyes! A long eyelash can bring confidence and can come in handy when you want to throw a cheeky wink their way. So, get your eyes at the ready and express yourself, knowing that you look good.
