The Makeup Routine that Wakes Up Tired Eyes

Redbook

"Every woman wants big, beautiful eyes that make her look younger and more rested," says makeup artist Mally Roncal. Her easy tips get you there, even in the morning rush. REDBOOK.

1. Start with a neutral, gleamy eyeshadow


Brush a sheer champagne shadow (which works on any skin tone) across your eyelids and at the inner corners, then sweep a little right under your lower lashes. You don't even need a mirror for this step.

2. Line your upper lids
I like to use navy liner--it makes the whites of your eyes look brighter. Work the pencil tip into your lash line, then sketch it back and forth just along the outer lashes. Penciling the entire length of your lid can actually make eyes look smaller.

3. ...And a bit underneath
Line the lower lids from the outside corner to about halfway across. Again, penciling all the way in--or inside the lower lid--can keep eyes from looking their biggest. Smudge both lines with a Q-tip.

4. Curl, then brush on mascara
Curl your top lashes before swiping on two coats of mascara. The best curlers have only a slight curve: It'll hit every lash on the first try.

5. Don't forget your bottom lashes!
Fringe all around the eye makes it look nice and wide. Press the mascara wand horizontally against your lower lashes and shimmy it downward.

6. Voilà!
With groomed brows and a little lip gloss, she looks polished--and very doe-eyed.
