How to Make Eye Whites Brighter

When trying to look your best, nothing will draw attention away from your look more than tired, red eyes. Whether you're going for pictures, to a job interview or out on the town with friends, you want your eyes to look bright and youthful no matter how tired you feel. There are a number of tips and tricks you can put to use to brighten the whites of your eyes in a blink.

Things You'll Need

• Eye drops
• White eyeliner
• Foundation (liquid or cream)
• Navy blue mascara
• Navy blue eyeliner
• Two spoons
• Two slices of cucumber

Instructions

1. Drop two or three over-the-counter eyedrops into your eyes to take the red out. Most of the over-the-counter eyedrops are designed to restrict the blood vessels when your eyes are stressed and overtired.

2. Apply your makeup foundation as normal and after you're finished, apply a light dab of foundation one shade lighter than your skin tone and blend it gently beneath your eyes. You don't want to go too light, as this will draw unwanted attention to your eyes.

3. Use navy blue mascara and eyeliner instead of brown or black to draw out your eyes and make them shine.

4. Add a thin line of white eyeliner just under your regular eyeliner. This will accentuate your eyes, making them appear bigger and brighter.

5. Refresh your eyes after a long day or in the morning before applying your makeup by resting two cold spoons over your closed eyes for five minutes. Chill the spoons in the refrigerator overnight so they're ready to go when you wake up. You can also use fresh, cool cucumber slices to help reduce puffiness and brighten tired eyes.

6. Reduce toxins in your body by cutting out things like caffeine and alcohol. Excess toxins can leave your eyes looking tired and red.
