Simple Tips for Highlighting Your Eyes
By Wander Beauty | Jul 05, 2022
Our eyes reveal so much, especially when we feel exhausted and aren’t getting enough sleep. However, there are a few things you can do with simple eye makeup to create a refreshed and rejuvenated look. Here are some of our top highlighting makeup tips for your eyes.
What is highlighter?
A highlighter is any makeup product that reflects light. Highlighters are typically used on the highest point of the face and the areas that you would like to pop, stand out or draw attention to, such as your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose and below the brow bone.
The different types of highlighter
Highlighters come in cream, powder and liquid formulas. It’s all about choosing the one that will work best for your skin. Of course, oily skin should avoid cream and liquid formulas and stick to powders as they will stay on for longer. Dry skin will typically do better with creams and liquids, which will help diffuse any rough or uneven texture on the skin. If you have combination skin any formula will work – it all comes down to personal preference.
The best ways to highlight your eyes
Whether you would like to hide dark circles around your eyes or simply want to emphasize and brighten your eyes, get the eye makeup looks you desire by following these easy tips.
Get an under-eye brightener
If you’re looking to brighten up your eyes, our range offers you some great products to include in your makeup routine. Pat our Hidden Glow Brightening Cream around the eye area and gently smooth it until it is absorbed. This will help to reduce the dark circles and create a more awake appearance.
Use a concealer
Take the attention away from tired eyes by using a concealer such as the Dualist Matte and Illuminating Concealer. This double-sided concealer is equipped with a tug-free, full-coverage matte stick on one side and a lightweight illuminating liquid on the other. It has a crease-proof formula that will provide long-lasting coverage that blends seamlessly. Opt for a hue that is one or two shades lighter than your skin tone. Place the concealer in an upside-triangle shape under your eyes to disguise any dark circles.
Highlight your inner corners
Also known as eye strobing, highlighting the inner corners of your eyes can instantly make you look more awake, as well as make your eyes look bigger. Wanderess Glow is a silky highlighter that creates a universal, champagne-pearl glow for your eyes and face. Dab your pinky into the powder highlighter and place it into the inner corners of the eyes. If you’re looking for a bigger eye effect, place the highlighter a little closer to the sides of the nose.
Use a nude eyeliner
A nude eyeliner is a simple eye makeup trick to distract everyone from seeing your tired-looking eyes. Simply apply the nude eyeliner to your waterline to make the whites of your eyes look whiter.
Emphasize your lashes
Get the best mascara for length and volume so that you can curl your lashes for a brighter eye look. First, use an eyelash curler. Then apply the best volumizing mascara, such as the Unlashed Volume and Curl Mascara, to both the top and bottom lashes. Knowing how to apply mascara for a brightened look will definitely work to your advantage!
Focus on your eyebrow makeup
Shape and fill your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil. Make sure that your eyebrows are clean and brushed. Draw the outline of your eyebrow shape and continue to fill in the gap with light, feathered strokes. It’s important to comb your brow in an upward direction by following the shape of your brow using a soft blending brush.
Highlight your eyebrows
Lastly, use the Dualist Matte and Illuminating Concealer to highlight your eyebrows. Once you’ve filled in your eyebrows, apply the concealer around the edges of your eyebrows to help define and sharpen their shape. Afterward, apply a highlighter such as the Catch the Light Highlighter & Glowtion above and below your eyebrow arch, and continue to blend for the perfect finish.
