•   When at home, lie down, shut your eyes, and place cucumber on your eyelids for 4-5 minutes. And see the difference. Your eyes will feel fresh.

Now, let’s talk about eye makeup. First clean your face.  Apply primer to your eyelids. Primer or base out your skin. If you go for primer, apply it all over and up to the brow bone.

Even out the skin tone around your eyes. Apply concealer to your under eye dark circles and where your inner eye meets your nose. Get a test done, before you choose any product. Use your hands or a brush to blend the makeup to your cheekbones and nose. Set the concealer by brushing a lose flesh toned powder over it. Apply some powder to your eyelids as well.

Eye shadow: Well, you can play with colors for eye shadow. Use a single color or use different colors. Apply a medium color. Your eyelashes are the running areas to the crease. If you want to go for a multi colored eye shadow, pick out the medium color for this area. Apply a light color on your brow bone. Highlight this area, and make more light bounce off by brushing on a pearly white or any other delicate color that matches your eye lid color. Next step is to blend the colors: Mix the colors, if you have used several shades, with your hands or brush. This will give it a more natural look.

Apply eye liner: Use a liquid eyeliner or even a liner pencil or even a wet eye shadow on to line your eyes.  After this curl your lashes. Use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes. Hold the clamp for about 5 seconds.

And now the final eye makeup: Mascara: You can apply a little or even more. There are plenty of brands, volume and length. Start at the base of your lashes. And slowly sweep upwards. If you want a dramatic effect, apply mascara to your lower lashes as well.

Apply lip liner, a little above your lip line, running it till your lower lip line. Now apply lipstick, and cover the entire area.
