Get rid of the baggage

Concealer will take care of the discoloration, but to take care of the puffiness you’ll need a good serum. I’m liking Brilliance New York Age Defying Eye Serum for my daytime face cleansing routine. I naturally have “smile wrinkles” at the bottom of my eyes that I had since I was a child. This eye serum helps keep your delicate eye areas hydrated and firm with a formula that combines vitamins A, B, C, and E with fortifying peptides that help reduce muscle contraction and dark circles. Since I didn’t start off with dark circles, I can’t speak to the efficacy of that claim. But it works wonders on the natural wrinkles and makes my overall face looks smooth and even-toned.

When working on improving the appearance of your eyes, don’t forget your eyeballs. When I went to a professional photographer and make artist (yes; he was both) the first thing he did before working his magic was to put eye drops in my eyes. The formula he used shrunk the blood vessels in my eyes and made them look more white and youthful. I never caught the name of the brand he used, but you can get the same effect by using Visine Maximum Redness Relief. You’ll be surprised at how this little trick and make a huge difference. Don’t forget to drink lots of water to help flush toxins out of your body.

Accentuate your brow bone

Take a look at this woman’s eyes. What do you notice? Clear eyes, long lashes, manicured brows and highlighted brow bones. She also has a highlighter between her lower eye and upper cheekbones.

Highlighting your brow bone defines and frames your face and brightens the overall face. My favorite is Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Duality Highlighter. I wore this once when my mother-in-law came to visit and she looked at me for a long time and asked, “Did you get a facial?” I hadn’t. I only applied the highlighter with a quick brush of gloss. Make sure when you apply the highlighter that you blend the line into the lid with by brushing gently downward with a make up brush.
