Keep in mind before following these steps that you need to sort out your sleep schedule for long-lasting brightness! If you keep going to bed late and only get 5 hours of sleep a night, your eyes will never look bright and alive. Sort that out and then use these steps to highlight your gorgeous eyes.
Step 1: Extend your lashes to frame your eyes better
Extending and curling your lashes will help bring out your eyes by framing them a lot better. You’re moving any hair from your lashes away from the eyes and showing off more of the eye itself. This effect can be made more permanent with eyelash extensions, so the lashes remain upright for days or weeks.
You can also try DIY natural lash extensions, for an easy at-home application with a natural-looking result. These clusters can enhance your lashes without the commitment or expense of salon extensions, giving you the freedom to achieve your desired look at your convenience.
If you want a brighter eye for a night out or a special occasion, then you can get away with applying mascara and curling your lashes up. This will give the same effect, albeit your lashes will return to normal come the morning.
Step 2: Apply a brightening eye cream
With your lashes out of the way and your eyes perfectly framed, you can tackle the dull-looking skin below. A brightening eye cream will work wonders here – this one by Ole Henriksen is highly recommended by beauty experts. It can be applied before you moisturise and will almost immediately make your eyes look fuller and less dull.
In conjunction with this, it helps to use another type of eye cream before bed and when you wake up every morning. This is for general skincare purposes – the right cream will help plump up the skin around your eyes and reduce the visible signs of tiredness.
Step 3: Add a touch of shimmer to the corners
The last step is to get some eyeshadow and apply a very small amount to the outer corners of your eyes. You need barely anything here – all you’re doing is placing a small dash of colour. The secret is to use a shimmery eyeshadow so it sparkles and glitters.
It may not sound like much, but take a before and after photo and you’ll see how huge of a difference this little step makes. Play around with different colours depending on your skin tone and eye colour; silver tends to work well with most people, but gold or hues of green/blue can also look excellent.
And there you go; three steps to make your eyes look brighter and more alive. This will help you gain a lot of self-confidence and improve the way you look at yourself in the mirror. If you’re sick of having dull eyes that look tired, these tips are for you! Just remember to look after your sleep schedule alongside this advice – it’ll enhance the effects of these steps and make your eyes look better naturally.
