Quick Tip: Bright Eyes

            The purpose of makeup is not to coverup imperfections, but instead enhance what you have.  One of my favorite quick tips is using a shimmery white or champagne shadow to brighten your eyes.  This can fool people into thinking that you're fully rested, when in reality you're beyond ready to hit the hay. 
           
            There are plenty of options to achieve this look: creme eyeshadow, eyeshadow, and pencil.

             With a creme eyeshadow and regular eyeshadow you can either use a pencil brush, a q-tip, or the easiest thing: your pinkie finger.  Simply pack whatever tool you're using with the shimmery product and place it on your inner corner.  With whatever is leftover on your tool, sweep it below the arch of your brow.  Do the same thing if you're using a pencil, but be sure and blend away any harsh lines.

             Doing this not only makes you look more awake, but it also gives the illusion of a more lifted brow. This little step can make a huge difference and is perfect because it only adds about an additional 10 seconds to your morning routine.   Good luck!
