We have all had those dreadful lacks of sleep nights whether it's off working until 3am on a college assignment, unable to sleep in this irritating heat or your brain won't just switch off worrying, we've all been there. You wake up the next day looking like your eyes are carrying heavy shopping bags full of bottles of milk, a slight exaggeration I know.
Wouldn't it be great to cheat sleep and look as though you've had 12 hours sleep? Well, my friends here are some products that'll get your eyes looking awake in no time!
Jurlique Herbal Recovery Eye Cream* | Eye creams are essential for getting rid of those tiresome, dark circle looking eyes and the latest favourite of mine has been by Jurlique. This rosy scented eye cream gets my eyes looking bright as rain, I like to pop a tiny amount of this under my eyes just before bed and first thing when I wake up. My eyes have never looked more awake and healthy from a product. Dark circles? What dark circles? It seriously makes a difference to your eyes.
Loreal Lumi Magique Highlighter Pen | Let's just take a moment to appreciate how stunning the rose gold packaging is, moment over. When I apply my makeup I like to draw a triangle under my eyes just before I apply my foundation using this highlighting pen. It not only highlights that area it also conceals too, so it is great for covering up those tiresome eyes. I would say it has medium coverage and it definitely brightens your eyes up, people wouldn't believe you've only had 4 hours sleep.
Rimmel Scandeleyes Nude Eyeliner | I have never been a big fan of black eyeliners but I love how they instantly make your eyes pop so I like to play it safe with a nude liner. This liner is amazing for brightening up your eyes as well as given your eyelids a bit of a wake-up call. It makes such a difference to my eyes it is incredible, so easy to blend on as well.

They make such a difference I always say they are like a nude lipstick those days you want something on your lips/eyes but nothing too out there

Nude eyeliners in the waterline are such a good tip! White can be too stark.

I have the Rimmel nude liner, it is so good I love it. Makes your eyes look more larger and more awake without being obvious that you have applied white eye liner.

I agree, not that I have ever used a white eyeliner but I'd imagine it would almost look like you highlighter your eyes?

Lawddd, I've just scribbled in this Jurlique eye cream to check out next time I'm in the shops. My dark circles are horrendous. Mix of lack of sleep and hereditary (thanks dad) and Ive yet to come across something that genuinely covers and seemlessly evens out the dark areas. Great post x

I need to try that L'oreal Highlighting Pen as I'm so obsessed with highlighting recently, I have the Touche Eclat but I'm looking for something a little cheaper! xx
ReplyDeleteJessica Victoria
I have always wanted to try that but yes from what I've seen from reviews this is very similar to YSL
