Top 5 Tips to Brighten Up Tired Eyes

Even with a full night’s sleep and a healthy lifestyle, some women still experience dark, puffy eyes. As people age, eyes become more prone to puffiness and dark circles. Here are five easy tips for reclaiming bright eyes.

It's a problem many women struggle with: dark circles, under-eye shadows and puffiness — all of which can make eyes look tired, even after plenty of sleep. Awaken eyes with these simple brightening tips in Skincare-News.com’s latest article, “Brighten Up: 5 Tips to Perk Up Tired Eyes.”

 

 

1. Highlight with pink. It may seem like a strange idea to apply a pink highlighter under the eyes, but if done correctly, it really works to conceal darkness. Using a pink pencil or shadow, lightly trace a “v” shape that follows the inner corner of the eye from top to bottom. The tone will instantly lighten up dark skin to make eyes brighter.

 

2. Illuminate from underneath. Whether the goal is to perk up a tired complexion or conceal dark spots, illuminators are a best-kept secret when it comes to brightening the face. Why do they work? In addition to having a pink hue that helps diffuse darkened areas, illuminators are also tinted with sparkling gold flecks that add a subtle shimmer to catch light and brighten skin.

 

3. Try household remedies. In addition to dark circles, puffiness can accompany tired, lifeless eyes. One easy way to awaken the appearance is to use things most people already have at home. Cold cucumber slices, cooled herbal teabags and even compresses made with shredded potato can bring down swelling within a few minutes.
