Bright eyes will look bigger and more beautiful than gloomy eyes. Using a white eye pencil and a variety of other appropriate makeup tools is an excellent way to instantly brighten your eyes. You can also reduce puffiness in your eyes, and then make your eyes appear bigger and brighter with natural items like cucumbers and tea bags. But in the end, having beautiful and bright eyes is much easier if you follow a healthy diet, sleep well and take care of your health.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Using Makeup
Step 1. Even out your skin tone with foundation
Choose a foundation with a color that matches your skin tone, and apply it on your face with your fingers or with a special foundation brush. Blend the foundation evenly on both cheeks and around the eyes. This will create an even appearance of color that will help your eyes to appear more prominent, bigger and brighter.
- Use a cream or powder foundation, depending on which one is more suitable for your skin type.
- Do not apply too much foundation, use only as needed. If you use too much foundation, your makeup will look too thick and this will only reduce the beauty of your eyes.
Step 2. Apply concealer under the eyes
If you have dark circles under your eyes, concealer is a very useful tool to help brighten your eyes. Apply concealer with your fingers by drawing a triangle shape from top to bottom under the eyes, then blend the concealer well. Your eyes will instantly look brighter.
How to apply concealer by drawing a triangle shape has been shown to give results that look more natural than other methods. The two corners of the triangle should be under the two corners of your eye. The tip of the triangle should pass through the top end of your cheekbones. Smooth it out well so that the lines are no longer visible
Step 3. Apply highlighter at the right points
Highlighters are becoming increasingly popular because they are considered capable of brightening the face and eyes. Look for a cream or powder highlighter, which will give a softer shine. The look will catch the light and give your face a healthy, youthful glow. Apply highlighter on the following points:
- On the arch just above the eyebrows
- At the inner corner of the eye
- Along the bridge of the nose
- Along the curve of the cheekbones
Step 4. Use a white or neutral colored eye pencil
White or neutral colors will give a subtle effect while making your eyes look wider open. Brighter colors will also make your eyes look brighter. Apply a white or neutral eye pencil along the tear line on the lower eyelid. Leave the rest of your eye plain without any pencil streaks.
Step 5. Apply a pale, shiny eyeshadow
Pale colors like blue, pink, mauve, gold and silver will catch the light and give it a brighter look. Opt for shimmery pale colors, but you can also opt for soft, plain pastels if you don't want your eyes to look shiny.
Step 6. Curl your eyelashes
Curling your eyelashes will make your eyes look wider and livelier. Use a special tool to curl your lashes on top and bottom once you're done applying all the makeup on your face.
Step 7. Apply mascara as a finishing touch
The dark color of the mascara will stand out in contrast to the pale colors of the eyeshadow and eye pencil, making your eyes stand out. Framing your eyes with dark lashes will make them appear brighter. Apply a coat or two of mascara to the top and bottom lashes as a finishing touch to your makeup.
Method 2 of 3: Maintaining Eye Health
Step 1. Get enough sleep at night
Makeup can only correct the appearance of your face to a certain extent. Getting enough sleep at night is the main thing to have healthy-looking and bright eyes. Allocate seven or eight hours each night to sleep, so you can wake up with bright eyes and excited for the day.
- Try to go to bed every night and wake up every morning at the same time. This routine helps your body rest well, and you'll wake up looking refreshed and feeling refreshed.
- On days where you didn't get enough sleep the night before, take extra care for your eyes, so they look and feel bright all day long.
Step 2. Drink plenty of water
Drinking water is the ultimate beauty trick when it comes to the appearance of your eyes (and skin and hair, actually). If your body is dehydrated, your eyes will look bleak or even red. Drinking plenty of water will help your eyes look bright and glowing.
- When you feel thirsty, drink water, not coffee or fizzy drinks. There is no other drink that can deal with dryness in your body in a better way than water.
- One good way to keep your body from becoming dehydrated is to carry a reusable water bottle with you wherever you go throughout the day. That way, whenever you want/need to drink, water is readily available.
Step 3. Avoid alcoholic beverages and salty foods
Alcohol and salt can cause the eyes to look puffy and puffy, because these two ingredients cause dryness in the body. The worst time to eat salty foods and alcoholic beverages is right before bed, because your body won't have enough time to digest everything you eat. As a result, you will wake up with puffy eyes and bags. Stop eating and drinking a few hours before bed, and drink plenty of water to overcome the alcoholic drinks and salty foods you've consumed before.
Step 4. Eat nutritious foods that provide nutrition for your eyes
In the long run, if you want to get brighter eyes, re-examine your diet and see if you can add certain nutrients that will actually benefit your eyes. Here are the types of nutrients that you can add to your daily diet to improve your eye health in the long run:
- Carrots and sweet potatoes: because they contain beta carotene, which is very good for preventing macular degeneration and cataracts.
- Spinach, bell peppers and cabbage: because they have a high content of vitamin C, which protects the eyes.
- Turkey and other lean meats: because they contain zinc and various types of B vitamins which are very important for maintaining eye health.
- Salmon, sardines and almonds: because they contain omega 3 fatty acids, which will protect the eyes.
Step 5. Make sure that the lenses of your glasses are the right size
Even if you have a healthy diet and sleep pattern, eye fatigue can cause irritation, dryness and redness of the eyes. You will not get healthy and bright eyes. Make sure that you check the condition of your eyes to the eye doctor regularly, so that the size of your glasses or contact lenses is always right.
Step 6. Get rid of any substance that is causing you to have an allergic reaction
Dust, cat dander, mold and other allergens can make your eyes red and puffy. Try to keep your environment as free of allergens as possible. During allergy season, take your medication to reduce puffy and irritated eye reactions, so your eyes still feel and look healthy and bright.
Step 7. Use eye drops if necessary
This is a quick way to replace moisture in your eyes and make them appear brighter instantly. Eye drops have been specially formulated to replace natural tears and moisturize your eyes.
Method 3 of 3: Using Natural Lightening Ingredients
Step 1. Compress your eyes with cucumber
This is an excellent remedy to take when you wake up with puffy and puffy eyes in the morning. Lie on your back, close your eyes and place two slices of chilled cucumber over each eyelid. Let sit for about five minutes, until the cucumbers are warmer. Cool temperatures will help reduce irritation and swelling. If you don't have cucumbers, use two refrigerated spoons.
Step 2. Use a chamomile tea bag
Chamomile is a soothing ingredient that can help reduce eye irritation. Dip two tea bags in water, squeeze until the water is no longer dripping, then chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Place the tea bag over your closed eyelids, and let it sit for five minutes.
Step 3. Use a potato grater
Grate a white potato and place a lump of grated over your closed eyelids. Leave the potatoes over your eyes for five minutes, then rinse with cold water. Potatoes have a natural property of being able to cause tissues to contract, which will help reduce swelling.
Step 4. Make a compress using witch hazel
Witch hazel is a gentle ingredient that can also cause tissues to contract, so it is often used as an ingredient in first aid products, as it can help reduce swelling. Dip two cotton balls in witch hazel, then place them over closed eyelids for five minutes. After that, the swelling and irritation should lessen.
Step 5. Make a compress using aloe vera
If your eyes feel hot and itchy, aloe vera is the solution. Dip two cotton balls in aloe vera jelly and chill in the fridge for a few minutes. Put this cotton ball with aloe vera on your closed eyelids, let it sit for five minutes and then throw it away.
