TIRED eyes

We've all woken up in the morning after a night out, looked at ourselves in the mirror and thought "Oh f*ck". I always have the tell tale bags under my eyes and a late night + too many cocktails & wine = tired looking puffy eyes.

Tired eyes doesn't have to be a result of a boozed - filled weekend either, getting to bed late and then up early (which I'm particularly guilty of) doesn't help, as well as not drinking enough water. So enough of the problems, what if you only have 5 minutes to fix your face... dry shampoo will fix your hair!

Let me start with the naked truth; the eye are with no make - up - I scrubbed as much eye make up off as I could.

(1) Apply concealer under the eye area and under the brow / lightly above the eyelid. For this photo I used Touche Eclat by Yves Saint Laurent (Around £20.00) - cheaper alternative is Rimmel 'Wake Me Up' Concealer (Around £5.50)

This is just to give yourself a base and try and give the area some light and sort out any uneven colour. This Rimmel concealer is perfect for giving you some radiance.  

(2) Apply foundation as you would normally, blend in with fingers and be delicate, patting it lightly under your eyes.

(3) Next, apply a shimmer or "High Beam" by Benefit under the brow to give the area some 'lift'. Follow this with some mascara, and highlight your brows with an application of an eyebrow pencil [Note - This doesn't mean DRAW on your eyebrows, simply just brush on some eyebrow colour over your normal brow, don't try and draw what's not there!)

Healthy Looking Eye Area!
