How to brighten the eyes
My eyes often have that tired look. Probably because I AM often tired. Ha! I have this ultra quick and subtle way to brighten my eyes and it only takes a few minutes to apply.
Products
Concealer
Nude eye liner
Silver eyeliner or eye shadow
Nude eye shadow
Mascara
How
After applying foundation:
- Apply concealer under the eye.
- Brush nude/campaign colour eye shadow on the entire eye lid, right up to the eyebrow line.
- Draw skin coloured (nude) eyeliner on the bottom eye lid.
- Press silver eye shadow into the inner corner of the eye.
- Coat eyelashes with one layer of mascara.

November 15, 2013 at 11:40 amI have never heard of nude eyeliner. I am excited by this, can you tell me what brand you use? I would like to get some and try it out. Your eyes do look brighter and more awake 🙂

November 15, 2013 at 4:23 pmThere’s a great nude eyeliner by Rimmel – you can get it on the ASOS website, or in stores that sell Rimmel (though you can’t get this liner in NZ!). It’s a great inexpensive nude eyeliner. I got one for $60 (eek) and the Rimmel one is just as good! 🙂 You want to put this on the waterline (which is the inner eye rim). A waterproof eyeliner is essential: This part of the eye is ‘wet’ – and an eyeliner that isn’t waterproof won’t last!
