I don't know about anyone else but I often have those nights where I don't get as much sleep as I should and then have to spend the next day looking like death warmed up. However, there is one simple way I've discovered to make my face look much more awake and alive- the eyes! Brighter eyes = brightened face!
The first step to brighten up the eye area is to conceal any dark circles under the eyes. When concealing under the eyes I always think it helps to use a lighter concealer colour than normal as this helps to brighten the whole area as well as highlight the cheekbone that little bit more. My favourite brightening concealer is the much loved Touch Eclat by YSL. Sadly though this isn't the most purse friendly item so I have found a brilliant dupe in the Illuminating Touch by Collection.
Another brightening concealer which I enjoy is the Garnier Roll on. The metal ball helps to reduce and puffiness within the area as it distributes a brightening formula at the same time. Although this isn't the heaviest coverage and may need some added concealer it's still worth it for the cooling and wakening affect it brings.
My second trick to brighter eyes is to use either a highlighter powder or a light eyeshadow in the inner of the eye, where the tear duct is. I've been using No7 Eyeshadow in Innocence.This is just a white shadow with a slight shimmer which I also use to highlight my brow bone. This helps to open the eyes up making them look much more awake.
We all have times in our loves where we are either so busy/stressed that it can show on our faces but with two simple steps we can fool the world into thinking we're taking it all in our stride!
