Eyes are the window to the soul. They say it, we know it. Our eyes give us away when we are tired, sleep deprived, happy or sad. It is all in the eyes. Our eyes also play a major role when it comes to makeup. So how can you make your eyes pop? Here are a 5 beauty tricks you may find useful –
Get some sleep or some ice
We all need our beauty sleep. I know I need about 7/8 hours sleep to feel human, but some nights I just can’t get the sleep I need, and my eyes start to sting in the morning. On those frustrating mornings, I get a bag of ice wrapped in a flannel for some relieve. This can also help with puffy swollen eyes; the ice helps to take the swelling down.
Eyelash extensions
Using eyelash extensions is an easy way to make your eyes pop instantly. They are quick and easy to use, and there are loads of options now in the market. You can go for a natural-looking eyelash enhancement for a natural look. If you are after full-on hollywood glamour, you will find full-on false eyelashes to go with the look.
Make your eyes pop with a concealer
Concealers are great for making our eyes appear brighter, getting rid of dark circles, and hiding blemishes. To make your eyes pop using a concealer, go for a shade lighter than your skin tone.
Use a Mascara
Mascaras are great for opening up the eyes and making them pop. I have quite a few mascaras in my makeup bag, and they all come in handy in different ways.
Get the eyebrows done
I like to have my eyebrows threaded or waxed every month. I prefer threading as it is easier on the skin and better. Threaded eyebrows also last longer than waxed brows, which is good value for money. Well shaped eyebrows is a good place to start when it comes to eye make up.

Nice tips! Have you got any mascara to suggest that is drugstore?
Rimmel London Volume Shake Mascara is great. Here is my review https://fashionandstylepolice.com/2017/03/16/product-review-rimmel-london-new-volume-shake-mascara/
Thank you I will check it out !!
I love a white or nude crayon in the waterline to make my eyes pop. Also a shimmering inner corner highlight. To get rid of dark circles, I use a peachy concealer to cancel out the purple. Orange lipsticks can work too!
Great makeup tips Tori. Thanks.
You’ve just reminded me that I really need to get my eyebrows done – it makes all the difference. I swear by concealer under my eyes so that’s a must for me. Never tried using ice though for some relief – will give it a go.
The ice tip works great too.
I thought then you were going to give me the magical answer to getting 8 hours sleep. I will have to use the ice! I used to wear eye lash extensions a lot, but its one of those things that has gone by the way side since having kids. I must start doing it again!
Lol..I wish I had the magical answer. Thanks for stopping by.
Really great tips and ones I generally try to follow myself. You are so right sleep is definitely number one not enough sleep can make you look really tired. I especially experience this being pregnant at the moment. Drinking lots of water helps too. And like you say a good mascara and getting your eyebrows done too! Great tips xx
Thanks Tanita. Drinking water helps massively too.
Great tips! I didn’t know to get a shade lighter for concealer! I always matched it to my skin tone! Great advice thank you!
Thanks Laura.
All good tips Stella. i have my eyebrows and whole of face threaded once a month when I go to the spa. When you get to a certain age hair appears in other places to you defo don’t want. I love having it done. It feels so clean and fresh.
I love having mine done too.
Fab tips, I would love more sleep but it’s not happening with a toddler haha so I will have to stick to mascara
I wish I could get some more sleep too. Impossible with toddlers.
Great tips, I shall definitely try the ice when the children have not allowed me to have enough sleep!
It works great.
I have quite small eyes so getting my eyebrows done really helps make them stand out. They so need doing at the moment though……..need the kids to go back to school so I can get them done
I need to get mine done too once the kiddies are back in school. It is due for a touch up.
Great post< I've also saved this post. With having 2 kids my eyes definitely need more looking after lol
Thanks Karen. Kids and sleep don’t mix, lol.
Great tips. I really appreciate these points. I will start using ice cos I never get enough sleep. Does eye liner help too?
Thanks Osimeno. Yes eyeliners work too!
