Do you have the Monday morning blues? Was it a long weekend? Are your eyes feeling tired? Wake them up with three simple steps.

Step One: De-puff.

Whether you have a fancy de-puff eye gel, a bag of frozen peas or slices of cucumber, calm your eye area before applying make up. Puffy eyes always make your eyes appear smaller, which makes them seem tired.

Step two: Curl.

The easiest way to open your eyes is to use a lash curler. Curl each set of lashes for at least five seconds to make eyes appear bigger.

Step three: Mascara.

There are a lot of mascaras on the market, all claiming to curl your lashes, make them longer, not clump, etc. Avoid the hype and keep it simple. Go for Maybelline’s Great Lash. It’s iconic pink tube with green lid can be found in major make-up artists’ bag of tricks and in your drugstore. Swipe a coat or two to accentuate your curled lashes and watch your eyes brighten.

Now go get some coffee, bright eyes.
