1. Red Lipstick for Tired Eyes!
I know it sounds funny but red lipstick under the eyes will cancel out any blue/purple tones. An orange-tones lipstick might sound scary, but just blend away and conceal after!
2. Cold Tea Bags for Puffy Eyes
Cold tea bags work to reduce puffiness around and under the eyes. The tannins in tea are one component while the coolness acts as a mini ice pack! You can also achieve similar results with chilled eye cream.
3. The Inverted Triangle
I use this technique all the time. Concealing under your eyes in the shape of an inverted triangle will brighten, highlight and lift your face! It looks crazy before you blend it out but trust me it works wonders! Use a small, damp beauty blender to gently blend out your concealer after you've applied foundation. And don't forget to set it all when you're done blending!
4. Highlight Brow Bone
Highlighting your brow bone not only defines your eyebrows but gives the appearance of a more awake and alert appearance! After you fill your brows in, highlight with a brow highlighter (I use a creamy ultra light pink pencil) or concealer and blend away.
"Enhancing your beauty doesn't always mean going for the glossy look. More ladies now see the allure of a shine-free finish. With the right tools and techniques, you can also achieve a flawless, subtle glow. Learn how to master this trend by following these incredible matte makeup tutorials. Enhance your natural complexion without the unnecessary flash."
5. Corner Highlight
White or shimmer shadow in the corner of your eyes will open them up for sure! I use this technique constantly and it's perfect for reversing the effects of exhaustion. An instant and incredibly simple "pop" you must try!

6. White/nude Eyeliner on Waterline
Black eyeliner on the top lid makes your eyes appear bigger. But, black liner in the bottom lid as well make your eyes appear smaller. So, use a white or nude liner on your bottom lid/water line and you're set!
7. Curly Lashes and Mascara!
Don't forget the most critical step which is curling your lashes! Big, curled lashes with make your eyes way more open and they will pop! Adding mascara only adds to the drama. It really makes a huge difference, especially on those tired eye days!
I hope this list was helpful! I would love to hear any other tips you'd like to add for looking more awake!
