How To Take Care Of Eyes? (How Can I Make My Eyes Beautiful?)
There are some chosen few who seem to have a great skin even without putting too much thought about it. But for many, taking care of your eyes needs an active effort. You can’t just be passive (Oh! How I wish we can!) and wait for lively and brighter eyes to happen!
1. Use The Right Type Of Facial Cleanser For Your Skin
Different people react to different products. Make sure to find the right formula that suits your skin. If you end up using harsh cleanser or makeup remover on your face, the skin around your eyes, especially, may be damaged by irritation or allergy.
2. Decompress Puffy Eyes
Puffy eyes make you look like you didn’t have enough sleep. It makes your eyes pop out unnaturally. For an emergency case, soak two spoons in iced water and gently put place them in your closed eyes. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Re-soak your spoon to make it cold again, do this as needed. This will dramatically improve your eyes.
For a longer term solution, you can use eye masks regularly to tighten the skin around the eyes.
3. Make Sure You Get Enough Hydration
There are two ways to boost your skin around the eyes’ moisture. One is to drink plenty of fluids, the other is to use topical lotion or creams. There are eye cream formulation that hydrates and retains moisture to give you a tighter skin around the eyes.
Some products, like Tru Alchemy Eye Elixir, even include anti-aging formulation to help you fight off the signs of aging and diminish dark circles. Apply cream to cleansed skin to penetrate deeper to the dermal layer.

4. Emphasize Your Eyelashes
Thick, long, and curly eye lashes are eye-catching and really brightens up your eyes. This gives you a happy look. After your makeup routine, put on mascara on your dry lashes and wait for it to dry. Then, use a lash curler. Start from the roots and gently work your way up to the tips of the lash for a brighter curl.
5. Use Eyeliner To Compliment With The Lashes
Drawing a line on the eyelids can easily make your eyes look younger. A dark tone is a nice choice for an evening makeup and a lighter tone is better in the morning. Water resistant eye liners are your best choice for lasting makeup.
Also, this gives emphasis on the eyelids rather than the lines under eyes.

This will make eyes look younger and add confidence to your look!
