When you’re getting ready for class and applying your makeup, make sure to follow a few of my helpful tips to make your eyes look as bright and beautiful as possible!
- Brighten Up!
Lack of sleep is inevitable in college. Tired eyes plague us every day. The key is to highlight. Find a soft, shimmery shade of eye shadow that suits your skin tone and eye color. Neutrals like browns, greys, pale pinks, and bronze are always flattering and not too bold. Brush the color generously over your eyelids but not extending above the crease. Color around your eyes adds dimension and the glimmer will brighten your eyes. Brushing a very light amount of a nude, white, or pale silver eye shadow on the inside corner of the eye also helps brighten your eyes and gives a more awake look. - Eyeliner Tips
Starting from the inside of your eye, draw a line that gets bolder as you reach the outside corner of your eye. This creates the illusion that your eyes are wider, more open.
- Mascara Tips
Comb mascara onto the top and bottom eyelashes. This elongates them and curls them outward, in turn uncovering more of your eye.
- Make sure you don’t use crazy bold colors to class. Yes it might show off your fun side or match your shirt perfectly, but wearing vibrant and bold make-up isn’t the most appropriate look for class. Save it for the weekend.
