3 Beauty Tricks to Wake up your Face

The worst thing in the world is waking up with dark, sunken eyes that match perfectly with how exhausted you truly are. Over time, I have learned a few tips and tricks that easily and effectively brighten up my face early in the morning! These are my top 5 MUSTS in my early morning makeup routine

The best concealer I have ever tried!!

1. The first (and my favorite) trick is concealing your under eye circles. The trick to this is to apply the concealer in a downward arrow shape. This shape creates the illusion of a longer face and less baggy eyes. My concealer is Tarte's Maracuja Creaseless Concealer in light-medium. Also, getting a concealer that is a tad too light for you does the job even better!

2. Next, contour! My go-to bronzer is Hoola by Benefit. It's the perfect shade for many skin tones, so if you've never tried it I would say you definitely should. My highlighter is Candelight Glow by Too Faced. I just recently got into highlighting and this is the first one I have tried. I think it works great because of the slight shimmer. I apply this on my cheekbones, outsides of my nose, and cupid's bow (right above your lip). This works great to brighten up your entire face.

3. Opening up your eyes is the most important part! Your eyes are the center of your face and are the first thing people see when they talk with you. White eyeliners and eyeshadows are the perfect way to do this. First, I like to use NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk to brighten up my inner corners. It's a perfectly pigmented cream base shadow that I think EVERYONE should have in their makeup collection. NYX is a drugstore brand with great essentials like this. Also, their eyeliner pencil in white works just as well when lining your waterline. Doing this instantly will make your eyes open wide and awake!
