Keep an ‘eye’ on yourself! If your eyes are the windows to your hearts, they are also the first to show visible signs of aging. Well, you don’t need to get all worked up now! What are cosmetic products for? Read on to know makeup secrets to get younger looking and sexier eyes.
1. Try the natural way first
You may be having a busy lifestyle, but not catching up on adequate sleep will definitely ruin the health of your eyes. So, make sure that you rest your eyes for at least 8 hours every night to avoid tired, baggy and swollen eyes. Don’t sleep flat on your back. Make sure to have a couple of pillows under your head so fluid won’t accumulate around your eyes.
2. Opt for simple solutions at home
You may have a store of tea bags at home for sure. Wet them and place them on your tired looking eyes and see the wonderful effects for yourself. Do this daily for at least 15 minutes to rid the skin around your eyes of those giveaway lines. Potato peels, frozen peas and chilled cucumbers are of great help to reduce the dark circles around them too.
3. Apply water based foundation
Foundations are the simplest ways of hiding those creases near your eyes. But it’s water based foundations that will do the trick here! They are light and spread smoothly around your sagging eyes. A neat way would be to get a small drop of it on your palm and using your fingertips, gently spread it to the inner circles of your eyes. Working in circles around the eyes does wonders!
4. Curl it up
No other makeup product can do what a curler does to lift your dull looking eyes. Don’t just hold down your eyelashes for a few seconds with a curler. But try the open-close method as it will add more pressure for longer lasting curls. Repeat this five times at least, followed by a jet black mascara. That’s an easy way for younger looking eyes!
5. Get the smoky look
Your eyes say it all for you. Want to portray yourself as a sexy diva? Then this is the look for you. First apply a matte cream colored eye shadow on the entire eyelid. Then blend a violet shadow into your eyelid crease. Follow this by applying a light pink eye shadow where the violet one ends. Blend this smoothly using your fingers in rhythmic upward strokes. Finally, using an eye liner draw a thin dark line along the inside of your lid and a thicker line along the outside lash line. There you go, the smokiest look ever!
6. Apply the right concealer
Your eyes looking too old and mature for your liking? It’s time to get the concealer out! Dab on a concealer that is of a darker shade than your foundation. But make sure to keep it light. Overdoing the makeup around your eyes can draw attention to the very problems you’re trying to hide. Finish off with a dash of blush, lip color, pastel eye shadow and a little mascara. And you are all set for the best party in the world!
7. Enhance your look with the shimmer
Want those sparkling young eyes? Don’t be shy to sport the glittery eye shadows available in the markets. Be careful not to overdo it though. Use neutral matte shadows before applying the shimmering colors on your eyelids. This will keep the shimmer on for a longer period of time. After this, draw a dark line on the inner eye lines and the outer lashes’ line. If you want to get bolder, go ahead and apply the darkest mascara that you can find to emphasize your eye lashes. Stun the world with this ‘easy to don’ look!
There are numerous products available in the markets today which can effectively make you look younger. For puffiness and dark circles, you should use eye creams containing peptides or antioxidants. For crow-feet and lines, you have skin friendly retinol formulas. Lastly, for hydrating brittle eyelashes there are a variety of serum products. So, get ready to bat those captivating eyelids!
