Eyeliner. How to do makeup so as not to look sleepy?

The eyes are the most sensitive and expressive part of the face, but if you haven’t slept enough or you are tired, it will show itself. However, it is possible to mask a sleepy or tired appearance. An illuminating eyeliner will help. Vogue writes about it.

“It brightens up the eyes and makes them look more alive by default!” says celebrity makeup artist Lisa Aaron.

Illuminating eyeliner can also visually enlarge the eyes: if you use an illuminating eyeliner in the inner corners.

The idea is to neutralize or hide the natural pink, red, or dark undertone of the eye line. It works like color correction.

When choosing a shade to brighten your eyes, you need to be guided by your skin tone and the effect you want to achieve. Good creamy white shade or flesh.

But if you want to look more dramatic, a bright white pencil will do the trick.

At Dior’s spring 2022 haute couture fashion show, makeup artist Peter Philips drew striking strokes of white eyeliner on the models to complement the collection’s metallic and white color palette. “Black could have made the eye makeup collection more classic, but white would have made it brighter,” Philips said.

This technique is also loved by celebrities. Victoria Beckham says she “couldn’t go a day” without her eponymous beauty brand’s highlighter.

“I very rarely sleep through the night, but thanks to this pencil, no one will ever know. The neutral shade balances out the redness on my waterline and brightens the whites of my eyes. I consider this a part of my skincare routine. … If I refuse makeup, you can be sure that I won’t refuse a highlighter,” says Victoria Beckham.

Whether you prefer it every day or for a dazzling outing, a dash of highlighter creates the illusion of sparkling eyes with minimal effort.

Choose from peach, cream or pearl shades.
