How to Look More Awake ♡ Eyes

                   

                   

We all have those days where we wake up late and look like a awful, our hairs everywhere and our face is bear. Don't stress these simple tips that I will tell you will come in handy if you want to look more awake. I decided to just focus on the eyes as I think that is one of the key looks if your ever doing makeup, you should have your eyes perfectly done.

Concealing 

I would start by covering the darkness all around your eyes, this could include your under eye circles, but for me it's in the inner corners - they're the darkest. So cover cover cover to achieve the best possible look. A little tip - if you want it to look lighter under eyes try a highlighting concealer or a lighter shade for that HD vibe.

Eyeshadow Highlighting

Now I would start with the eyeshadow; if you don't wear eyeshadow on a typical bases don't feel that you need to include this step, but it will give you a very natural look. It's simple, all you have to do is highlight all over your eye in these specific places. To highlight I would use a light colour such as a champagne,off - white or even a light peachy shade. Firstly in the inner corner to create a more opened eyed look; secondly a light shade on the centre of your lid to give a 3D effect to your eye and to make it appear bigger; finally on your brow bone, this is just under the arch of your eyebrow, this should lift the whole eye look up and make your eyes wider and bigger.

Eyelining 

Now we will move onto the eyelining, this tickles so much but I love doing it! I would recommend to use a nude eyeliner on your waterline to create the illusion of bigger eyes as it looks like your skin (I think); but I wouldn't use a white eyeliner as it could come out too harsh and not look as natural, though it would give a similar effect. For your tight line I would use a black or brown eyeliner (depending on what you are comfortable with) to gently line just your tight line. All this does is make your eyelashes look more volumis and fluttery. This is such a simple trick though it is quite hard to get the hang of as it tickles when your applying it.

Curl Those Lashes

My last advice is for you to curl your eyelashes, personally if I don't my eyelashes are so flat and go straight down with no length of volume at all. Try to get the curler as close to your lash line as possible to make your lashes look longer and fuller. Hold the tool on your eyes from the minimum of 10 seconds and gently push up towards your eyebrow to give a better effect; let go and your sorted and ready to apply your mascara. Put a few sweeps of your favourite mascara to finish the look and prepare you for your day ahead.

These are the tips I know work, I try to use them as often as possible, I don't use them every day as it is too much time in the morning and I'm not allowed to wear a lot of makeup at school anyways. If I wanted to look perfect though I would try to follow this guide. It's helped me, hopefully it will help you as well!
