Your eyes are often the first thing people notice when they see your face. Tired, puffy, or red eyes can look unattractive and make you look older. Too little sleep or too much stress can also make tired or puffy eyes worse. Try the following tips to restore a youthful appearance and brightness and clarity to your eyes.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Adding Makeup to the Eyes
Step 1. Apply concealer under the eyes
Concealer is a base foundation that can balance out the dark circles under the eyes. Choose a concealer color that has the opposite hue of the color in your dark circles. For example, if you have dark circles with a yellow undertone, use a concealer with a purple undertone. This will help neutralize the black under your eyes. Alternatively, you can choose a concealer that is a shade lighter than your skin tone. Gently dab the concealer under the eyes and pat lightly with fingers, and spread it all over the skin under the eyes to make sure it doesn't show up.
Step 2. Apply the eye pencil (eyeliner) properly
Using a dark eye pencil, draw a line about half or two-thirds of the length at the bottom and top of the eye, just along the lash line. Drawing a line across the eye to the inner corner will make your eyes look smaller. A half-applied eye pencil will help make the eyes look more elongated. Draw back and forth across the lash line with the eye pencil several times.
- Try a light colored eye pencil. Using a light eye pencil or even a white eye pencil, your eyes will attract and reflect light, which will help make them appear bigger. Line the lower lash line with a white or silver eye pencil. Your eyes will reflect more light, giving the illusion of looking brighter and bigger.
- You can also use a white eye pencil to outline the inner corner of the eye on the upper and lower lids. This will help make your eyes look further apart.
Step 3. Use eye shadow to make your eyes look bigger
You can do this by using three different shades of eyeshadow: light, medium, and dark. Use a dark shade of blush on the browbones and eyelids, and apply a medium shade in the crease of the eye. Use dark eye shadow or an eye pencil along your lash line. Then add some shimmery eyeshadow in the corners of the eyes, which will attract and reflect light.
If you wear glasses, think about how the glasses will look with your eye makeup. The rule of thumb is to wear bright, bold eye colors with light, transparent frames. If you are wearing a heavier frame, reduce your eye makeup
Step 4. Shape your eyebrows
Eyebrows are the frame for the eyes, and their shape can also make your eyes appear to have a certain shape. Shape your eyebrows by plucking them, plucking them with thread, or using wax (wax). Remove stray hairs regularly, but be careful not to make the eyebrows almost bald or too thin. Alternatively, you can use an eyebrow pencil to fill in your eyebrows, especially if they are thin, sparse, or irregularly shaped. Use a natural color eyebrow gel to cover the eyebrows so they don't smudge.
Step 5. Use an eyelash curler
An eyelash curler sold at drugstores and supermarkets for around Rp. 70,000-84,000 will curl your lashes and bend them in an upward curve. Curling your lashes up will make your eyes appear bigger and more open. It can also draw attention to your eyes by making the eyelashes appear longer.,
Step 6. Thicken eyelashes with mascara
Use a thick mascara that coats your lashes thoroughly. There are many types of mascara, from thickening to lengthening to waterproof. Try a few different types to see how they look on the eyes. Apply close to the root of the lashes, applying mascara to the lash line. Try a fan brush or a curved brush, which will apply mascara closer to the roots all over the lashes. Or, try holding the business card over the lashes while you apply and apply mascara to your lashes opposite the card.
Step 7. Apply false eyelashes
If your lashes are short or you want a more dramatic look, put on false lashes. Also known as " falsies ", these lashes are available in a variety of lengths, colors and textures, and can transform your eyes into something spectacular. Try different types to see how they look on the eyes.
Method 2 of 3: Improving Health Care Habits
Step 1. Get 7-8 hours of sleep every night

Step 2. Drink plenty of water
Beautiful eyes rely on hydration, and keeping your body hydrated will help replenish body fluids, thereby reducing puffiness and redness in the eyes. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day, or about 1.8 kg. Drinking throughout the day is a good approach. If you are in a very dry climate, you may want to increase your water intake. Similarly, if you exercise, you must replenish body fluids lost through sweat with additional water consumption.
Step 3. Don't smoke
Smoking irritates the eyes and can cause redness. It can also dry out the eyes. Eliminating smoking from your daily routine can help your eyes return to their natural color and dehydrate them again.
Step 4. Cut down on alcohol and caffeine
Both of these substances will dry the body and increase puffiness and redness of the eyes. Reducing your intake of both will help your body restore its hydration balance. Keep in mind that it's not just coffee that has caffeine; some foods also contain caffeine, such as chocolate. Alcohol and caffeine can also interfere with good sleep patterns, which can interfere with getting 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
Step 5. Eat a healthy diet
Reducing the amount of foods that contain refined carbohydrates and sugar, as well as whole grains, can help your body process food better. Reduce the amount of unhealthy foods you eat, especially at night. Increase your intake of foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E, including vegetables such as spinach, kale, carrots, and collard greens, and fruits such as oranges, melons, strawberries, peaches, and avocados. Also eat more protein such as poultry, red meat, eggs, and dairy.

Blink frequently to ensure that your eyes don't dry out; Dry eyes can make the eyes red.
Step 8. Wear sunglasses when you are outside
Protect your eyes from UV rays by wearing sunglasses. If you're out in the sun, you have a tendency to squint more often, and your eyes will create wrinkles and fine lines around the edges. Wearing sunglasses, especially large-framed ones, will reduce the tendency to squint and also protect your eyes.
Step 9. Reduce environmental irritants
Allergens, smoke, mist, and other substances in the air can irritate the eyes, and contribute to redness, swelling, and other general irritations. Reducing contact with these irritants can help reduce negative eye reactions and help make your eyes look and feel better.
Use eye drops to reduce redness that may be caused by the allergen. Eye drops like Visine help remove redness and make the whites of your eyes appear whiter, which in turn will make your eyes appear lighter
Step 10. Apply eye cream under the eyes
Eye creams can contain a variety of ingredients that help reduce puffiness, tighten skin, and reduce wrinkles and fine lines, including grape extract, mulberry extract, and caffeine. There are eye creams that are meant for daytime application and are better suited for moisturizers. Night eye creams are usually more eye rejuvenating. Take the eye cream with your finger, then gently apply it along the bottom of the eye from the inside out.

The spoon will feel very cold, so you may need to place it in your eye for as long as you can hold it, then remove it to rest your eye. This will increase blood flow to the eye and reduce puffiness.
Step 4. Make a mask from egg whites
Beat some raw egg whites together. Apply this mixture to the eyes as a mask and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Rinse face with cold water. This mask will make the skin around your eyes feel tighter, which can help your eyes look younger.

Step 7. Slice the strawberries to place on the eyes
Strawberries are useful in reducing puffiness due to their anti-inflammatory properties, and they also contain alpha hydroxy acids, which are usually found in expensive face creams. Alpha hydroxy acids allow the skin to slough off dead cells, which makes skin look younger. Cut off the tops of some fresh strawberries, and slice off the flesh. Place the slices over your eyes for about 5 minutes, then wash your face with soap and water.
