The Only Eye Brightening Routine You Need

What does an eye-brightening routine have to do with a radiant complexion? Well, everything. The key to a glowing fresh-faced makeup look is a bright-eyed look, period. Since nothing ruins flawless makeup faster than dark circles, eye puffiness and fatigue that just won’t quit, we’re bringing you all the tips for brightening your under-eye area. So grab some cooling eye gel masks and dig into our no-fail eye-brightening routine below. Once you try under eye brightener, your eyes will look bigger, brighter, and wider awake. Plus, it will even up your selfie game. And what’s not to love about that?

 


Step 1 -All about that prep

Our eyes can often feel like an afterthought in our skincare routine but here’s why that’s a big mistake (huge!). Your eyes are the most delicate area on the face and one of the first to show signs of aging or neglect (late nights, much?). Consider this your beauty PSA to care for your eyes like you do with the rest of your face. Go and get yourself an eye cream to apply overtop of your daily moisturizer and pick up this cooling eye serum roller and make it part of your eye brightening routine. This caffeine-containing formula will help depuff your eyes and make them look their best before you apply makeup. It also feels really good on the skin!

 

Step 2 -Pick up your primer

Primer allows your makeup to go the extra mile so incorporating it in your daily makeup routine is a beauty best practice. Even if you’re not wearing a heavy eye or makeup look, primer is essential for keeping your foundation and concealer fresh looking for as long as possible, which is what skin goals are made of. When choosing the right primer for your under-eye brightening routine, go with one that addresses your skin’s needs. From oil control to hydration to redness-reducing and so much more here.

 


Step 3 - Correct and conceal

Covering dark circles can feel like an art form because it takes time to get it just right. There’s finding the right color of concealer, and also the right formula. Since dark circles have a blue cast, you’ll need a peach-toned concealer to cancel that out. That’s where this viral eye brightener comes in. It banishes dark circles on contact and leaves your eyes looking noticeably brighter. The creamy formula doesn’t settle into fine lines (yay!) and it has a buildable texture so you can customize your level of coverage. Simply pat it on underneath and around the eyes and blend for a major eye-brightening boost.

 


Step 4 -Set and forget

Once your concealer is in place and looking good, you’ll need to keep it that way. Even the best concealers are at risk of creasing or fading without this crucial next step. Take a page from this go-to makeup artist trick and pick up a loose powder. Apply the loose powder overtop of your concealer using this powder puff and a light touch. Think patting motions and not swipes! This step is about locking your newly brightened eyes in place, not adding more coverage.
