Puffy, tired, weary no more. These tips take years off and create that "I slept great, thanks!" effect.
1. Shape up brows.
The
simple act of filling in sparse bits and tweezing strays around your
arch is like a mini eye lift, making you automatically look more awake.
2. Take down puffiness.
Pop a metal teaspoon in the freezer, then use the back of it to give
swollen areas a light massage. And wait until the puffiness goes down
before applying moisturizer, which can plump skin back up.
3. No makeup on crow's-feet!
Sparkly shadow is like a zoom lens on fine lines, and foundation can
settle into them. The one exception? Primer, which will blur and fill in
crinkles.

4. Disguise under-eye bags.
Taupe eyeshadow grazed right underneath lower lashes helps hide
puffiness by making that area recede. (Darker skin tones should use a
richer brown shadow.)
5. Conceal dark circles.
You
can magically erase them with the right concealer. Pick a creamy
formula slightly lighter than your skin tone. One with a peachy hue will
neutralize blue circles, while a pink-y shade cancels out brown ones.
[post_ads_2]6. Last but not least… Pick the right eye cream.
There's one for every issue under the sun (and around your eyes). If
puffiness is your problem, try a cream with caffeine or vitamin K, which
help flush out fluids. To combat circles, a cream with caffeine
(again!) constricts the blood vessels that make them flare up. A formula
with vitamin C or arbutin can help fade brown spots. To soften
crow's-feet, look for retinol to boost collagen and antioxidants to prevent further damage.
