How To: Bright Eyes

How to make your eyes look brighter make-up tutorialTo me, make-up has always been about looking like you’re not wearing any.  Subtle enhancements that look natural (i.e., the exact opposite of the Kardashian clan).  Now, usually these effortless looking looks, take… well… effort.  Today, I’m talking all about the eyes.  Making those pretty peepers of yours pop.

How to make your eyes look brighter make-up tutorialStep 1: After applying your no-foundation foundation and filling in your eyebrows, apply the under eye concealer, umm… under your eyes… in a triangle shape.  I like to use a hypo-allergenic product but go with what you know.  Using a make-up applicator blend the concealer upwards, keeping to the triangle shape.  This helps to create an optical illusion that will make the skin closest to your eyes brighter and younger-looking.

How to use an illuminator for your eyesStep 2: Using the illuminator, dab small dots along the high cheek bone, the brow bone, and the inner eye.  Using your middle or ring finger, blend the dots upwards along the cheeck and temple, across the brow, and into the inner eye with quick taps until the skin looks dewy and youthful.
