Wake Up Those Tired Eyes!

 

Start with a neutral matte or sheen eyeshadow

Brush a sheer or light shadow across your eyelids and at the inner corners, then sweep a little right under your lower lashes. Try Malted, Sand Dollar, Copper Shimmer or sweep on Cherub or Diamond Dust Finishing Silk Powder as a shadow

Line your upper lids

I like to use navy liner—it makes the whites of your eyes look brighter. Work the pencil tip into your lash line, then sketch it back and forth just along the outer lashes. Penciling the entire length of your lid can actually make eyes look smaller. You can also use Denim, Smoke or Stainless Steel to line your eyes instead of a pencil. To create a great liner just take a brush like our Brown Silk Thin Liner wet brush and dip in shadow of choice. Work into lash line like a pencil and draw a thin line at the end of outer lash line.

..And a bit underneath

Line the lower lids from the outside corner to about halfway across. Again, penciling all the way in or using the liquid liner and brush.  Smudge both lines with a Q-tip.

Curl, then brush on mascara

Curl your top lashes before swiping on two coats of mascara. The best curlers have only a slight curve: It'll hit every lash on the first try.

Don't forget your bottom lashes!

Fringe all around the eye makes it look nice and wide. Press the mascara wand horizontally against your lower lashes and shimmy it downward. Personally I have smaller eyes and always have a issue with racoon eyes eyes at the end of the night so I never put mascara on my bottom lashes.

TaDA!

With groomed brows and a little lip gloss, look polished—and very doe-eyed.
