For a totally fabulous eye cream check out my post on Feelgood Style. The eye cream I wrote about, Ideal Eyes, was created by my friend Ellen of Caren Online. Ellen has also come up with a natural, nontoxic skincare line targeted for women dealing with hormonal skin called The Answer for Skin. Eye Fix is from the same line and is perfect for anyone and any skin type. And Ellen is offering a 15% discount when you purchase The Answer for Skin products. That includes Ideal Eyes, the perfect time try it out. You will not be sorry. I promise!
While we are on the subject of eyes and keeping them looking great…
Last night I was reading an article on eye makeup (not sure where, Better Homes & Gardens I think) and it said to apply nude eyeliner to the lower eye rim for youthful looking eyes. This is supposed to reduce any pinky redness and make eyes look bright and awake.
This morning was the most difficult of the week. Why are Thursday a.m.s always toughest for me? Thought it was supposed to be Monday or Wednesday. Anyway, I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity for an eye opener. Since I didn’t have a nude pencil on hand, I used a white shadow pencil instead. The result: my eyes did look brighter and more awake. I have never been a big fan of applying liner to the rim of the eye, but this really was not noticeable. Just took away the pink-ness like the article said.
My favorite way to make my eyes look whiter and brighter is black eyeliner. Give it a try. While I do love a good brown eyeliner pencil, there is just something about the contrast between black pencil and the white of your eye that really works. I usually whip on just a bit in the morning in lieu of mascara so my eyes don’t look quite so “naked”.
And that white eyeshadow pencil I spoke of? Love this product! It is so creamy and just brightens eyes without making it look like you are wearing... well, white eyeshadow. And it lasts all day long. Pretty cool.
I will be posting here soon about an amazing line of natural makeup products that I have been trying out. Including the white eyeshadow.
What are your fave tricks for bright, happy eyes? Please share!

My favorite eye trick is to dot black eye liner between the lashes. Perfect for daytime, it never looks heavy like a solid line would and makes your lashes look thicker too!
