Quick Fixes For Tired Eyes

Eye Liner: Trying some light eye makeup is a simple remedy to hide those tired eyes and also make them look better. The trick to remember is, do not opt for heavy eye makeup as it attracts unwanted attention which will highlight the tired eyes. So, a simple thin line drawn with an eyeliner and curled mascara eyelashes is enough to hide the eye liner. Prefer applying eye liner on the upper eyelid. Just draw a simple line with kohl on the lower lid to complete the makeup. Avoid applying eyeshadow especially in dark colours as it will make the eyes look all the more tired and small.

Hydrating Cream: The skin around the eyes is soft, sensitive and fragile. Tired eyes will highlight the wrinkles and puffiness due to dehydration. So, hydrate the skin around the eyes with a moisturising cream to keep it hydrated and tired-free.

Potato Or Cucumber Slices: We have heard that applying cucumber slices sooth tired and puffy eyes. You can even try raw potato slices to sooth tired, puffy and red burning eyes. Potato contains enzyme catecholase which lightens the skin around the eyes. Soak potato slices in cold water and then leave the on the closed eyes for about 5-10 minutes. Sit back and relax.
