3 Ways to Enhance your Eyes

Recently I had a makeover at +Sephora. It was wonderful and I wish I could have someone do my makeup every day! But I'm an average Stef, so I'll keep doing it myself. Of all the products they used during the makeover, there are two I purchased that make a HUGE difference, and one technique that wowed me:


1. GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream by Origins. LOVE this stuff. It really does depuff the skin around the eyes and brightens the area up. I have a small brush that I apply the cream with which helps it last longer and not absorb into your fingertips. I only apply this in the morning when I'm looking pretty scary and this changes things around! One tip I was given was to keep it in the fridge, that way it has a cooling affect when it's applied. $30

2. Sephora Collection Retractable Brow Pencil. I have dark features, so I never really considered using an eyebrow pencil. I was quite pleased when I saw what a little bit of shading in can do! The pencil really fills in where there are some sparse areas and has a natural look when you use short strokes. It's retractable so it doesn't require sharpening, and it has a brush on the end -very handy! $13

P.S. This mascara is great, no clumping. It's "They're Real!" by Benefit. 

3. One last trick I really like is applying eyeliner to the upper inner rim of the lash line. Above the lashes on the lid is a little too heavy for my taste, and this is a nice solution to still add some depth but not make it too overwhelming. A soft liner works best, I prefer Covergirl's Liquiline Blast. It's still a pencil, but is soft and easy to apply.
