Brighten dull eyes with makeupWith so many vibrant eyeshadow hues gracing the red carpet, runways and beauty shelves, this is undoubtedly the season for bright eyes.

But what if your peepers are looking less than luminous?

Panic not. There are plenty of ways to brighten up your eyes, ditch dark circles and perk up dull peepers.

Just ask celebrity make-up artist Georgie Harris who we caught up with this week.

“First things first, if you suffer from dark circles it’s best to avoid grey and

black hued eyeshadows which will serve to draw attention to the darkness under the eye.

“Instead opt for brighter colours or those with a soft pink or peach tone to again, brighten up those eyes,” says Georgie, who has worked her make-up mastery on countless models.

“For those with dark circles and dull looking eyes, my main objective is to brighten them up.

“The key to doing this is finding a creamy under-eye concealer, which has pink/peachy undertones.

“The reason for this is because the pinky tones counteracts the dark, greyish looking colour that you find under tired eyes.

“It also helps if it is a more rich and creamy texture as this is likely to hydrate eyes and not sit in creases, so they will appear less dry looking,” she adds.

So, which eye brightening goodies would Georgie recommend?

“My favourite under eye products are the cult classic that is Touche Éclat by YSL, in the original colour, as the light reflecting particles in the formula really bounce the light back, in photoshoots as well as in natural light.

“I also love Touche Veloutée by Terry which is similar to the Touche Eclat but is a slightly thicker consistency which works better for more mature skin.

“And finally Clinique’s under eye roll on with caffeine is perfect for puffiness under the eyes, I would apply this to tired eyes before applying make-up,” she adds.
