Here are few tips on how to make your eyes look younger and beautiful.
Before plucking the unwanted hair of your brows, always use a brow pencil and draw an outline over the hairs. This helps to decide what to remove and what not to remove. You’ll not remove excess brow hairs this way. This will help make your eyes look younger.
First of all, make sure you use a good eye cream every day to reduce the wrinkles around your eyes. Choose one that does most of the things like reducing or preventing wrinkles, reducing dark circles, moisturizing etc. and use this especially before beginning your eye makeup.
Start with the cream. Blend it well and leave it for few minutes to make the skin absorb it.
Now get a good foundation and blend it well using a foundation brush. Make sure you buy a suitable foundation depending on your skin and its maturity.
Get a concealer two shades lighter than your skin tone. Put dots of the concealer, apply evenly using the brush and blend it well. Don’t overuse the concealer and make it look cakey. It will not cover the wrinkles completely.
Set it now with a good loose powder. A powder helps in setting the makeup. If possible choose a light-reflecting powder for the skin around your eyes.
It is good to use an eye shadow base before applying any eye shadow on your lids. It has brightening properties or light reflectors.
Choose colors wisely. It’s advised to use semi-matte eye shadows. Also it’s good to keep the colors toned down.
Take a lash curler and slightly curl your lashes to give a natural look. It’s advised to heat the curler with a hair dryer for 15 seconds. This slight heat helps to hold the curls easily.
Use a good eye liner or kohl and apply it on the top of your eye lids. Try using blues for waterlines. Blues suit all skin tones and brighten up the eyes.
With increasing age, you should decrease the use of glitter since it tends to make the wrinkles appear more prominent.
11. Always apply eye makeup products lightly. Do not apply products in much quantity at a time because it’s easy to apply more but difficult to remove.
12. If you wear glasses, go for light shades for your lids which would draw attention to the shape of your eyes.
Making the eyes look younger, that is, completely like what you had in your teens and twenties isn’t possible, but with makeup you can make them appear little younger by hiding the signs of aging. Other than this, it is important to take proper care of the eyes regularly for naturally younger-looking eyes.
13. Follow a healthy diet and drink minimum 8 glasses of water regularly to keep your skin healthy.
14. Stress is common these days which creates havoc on your skin. So, it is important to relax by doing yoga, meditation etc.
15. Proper sleep is essential for the eyes, or else you may get dark circles very easily. Have a pleasant 8 hours of sleep daily.
