Wake Up Tired Eyes

Just because you feel exhausted doesn't mean you have to look that way, too. To brighten up your eyes for a day at work or an evening out, check out these pro pointers:

• Invest in a good eye cream. While eye creams may not actually zap wrinkles, they do temporarily plump up the under-eye area, diminishing the appearance of circles.
• Switch to cream concealer. Dot it on with a tiny, stiff-bristled makeup brush. Don't blend -- that just rubs it off.
• Cover with foundation that matches your skin tone. Blend well, ideally with a makeup sponge.
• Lightly brush translucent loose powder over the entire area.
• Use a light-colored shadow, such as bone or white, on lids and in the inner corners of eye. Lighter hues reflect light, brightening the eye area.
• Don't skip the eyelash curler. According to makeup artists, that one extra step really opens up the eyes, making your eyes look bigger, brighter, and much more alert.
