Eyes

Get a good eight hours sleep every night. Puffiness and dark circles are just not a good look.
From the age of twenty-one everybody should use a good eye cream / gel. Use both morning and night. Some eye care products have a build in SPF. This is excellent for during the day, but use one without an SPF for nigh time.
Shape your brows. Always keep your eyebrows defined by having them waxed / tweezed regularly.
Eyebrow tinting can make a dramatic difference to your eye area. As well as trimming the brows, tinting provides us with a well-defined brow, thus improving the eye area.
A little concealer under the eye area can go a long way. Apply over your eye care. Remember, less is more! Foundation is not always necessary. Often concealer on blemishes, under eye area etc and a little dust down with powder can be enough to even out your skin tone.
When applying eye shadow, be careful. Colours such as red, maroon etc can often make you look tired or even sick. It’s always great to experiment with colours, but if you want to play it safe go with neutral, beige, light brown, sandy colours. Anybody can wear these colours and can’t go wrong.
Eyelash tinting is an excellent way to emphasise the eye area. Never have an eyelash tint without having a patch test at least 24 hours prior to treatment.
For a dramatic look, build up you mascara in layers. Be careful not to clump it. Never “pump” your mascara as this clogs the brush and will clump on the lashes.
Eyeliner can be fun to experiment with, but be careful not to close your eyes in by coating the entire eye area with pencil. Perhaps try white eyeliner. It’s a great look especially in the summer.
Reduce puffiness and tired eyes but applying two dampened tea bags to the eye area and leave while you relax for approximately 10 minutes. The same can be achieved by putting two teaspoons in the fridge to cool, apply to the eye area and relax for approximately ten minutes. AH!
