]]> They say that the eyes are the window to the soul, and for this reason, many people choose to emphasize their eyes through makeup including eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara. While these can all help to draw attention to the natural beauty of your eyes, unfortunately, these products (and the products and techniques we use to remove them) can lead to sensitive, sore eyes. If you’re struggling with this common problem, check out these tips on how to soothe your eyes and restore them to health.

Eye Makeup Remover

If you’re wearing makeup, you need to make sure that your method for removing it is as gentle as possible. Choose a high-quality micellar water designed for sensitive skin and eyes, and soak a cotton pad in this before patting this over your eye. Don’t forget to use q-tips to gently ease off any residue once you’ve used the cotton pad—and avoid harsh rubbing and scrubbing at all costs.

Eye Drops

Sometimes the area around your eyes and your eyes themselves are feeling sore and sensitive due to a lack of moisture. Try using some soothing eye drops each morning, to see if this makes a difference. Some eye drops can also tackle seasonal allergies, so it may be worth investigating whether this could be one of the causes of your sore eyes.

Clean Your Tools

Eyeshadow brush with yesterday’s product being used to apply today’s makeup? Mascara wand that hasn’t been changed for several months? When it comes to cleaning and refreshing our makeup products, we can all be guilty of forgetting to do this on a regular enough basis. However, if your eyes are reacting by getting sore, red and itchy, this is a clear sign that your brushes and products need an overhaul. Get out that brush cleanser and chuck out any eye makeup that’s more than six months old.

]]> The skin around your eyes is the thinnest and most delicate on your body, and, as a result, tends to be the first place where signs of exhaustion start to show. Lack of sleep, long days spent staring at a screen, and dehydration can appear as dark, puffy circles that may leave us feeling less than our best. While nothing can replace lifestyle changes, the right creams can brighten the area around your eyes and help you look well-rested all day long. Here are some of our tried and true favorites.

The INKEY List Caffeine Eye Cream

The INKEY List is one of our go-to brands for affordable products made with high-quality ingredients, and their eye cream is no exception. Like a cup of coffee first thing in the morning, it’s formulated with caffeine to wake up your eye area and reduce the appearance of dark circles.

Glow Recipe Eye Creams

Glow Recipe carries two eye creams, and each one is specifically formulated to tackle different eye-area concerns. Their Bright-Eye Gel Cream contains 10% vitamin C complex and guava extract to brighten complexion with minimal irritation, while their Avocado Melt cream contains retinol to reduce fine lines.

Farmacy Wake Up Honey Eye Cream

For clean beauty made with gentle, yet effective ingredients, Farmacy always knocks it out of the park. The brand has an entire line of honey-based products designed to soothe irritation and hydrate dry skin. Their eye cream also contains caffeine and cranberry to reduce wrinkles and give your eye area a boost.

Get in Line

When we’re tired, our lower waterline turns red. The best way to disguise this is with a kohl liner in the color cream. While some may tell you to use white, the cream gives a more natural look while brightening.

Lift it Up

One way to create a lifted effect is to use the light-colored pencil in the waterline at the bottom of the eye and contrast it with a darker one. By lining the top waterline and outer edge with a dark kohl, you can create a lifted shape.

In the Shadows

The eyeshadow color we use can also have a big impact. Some shades may emphasize the redness in the eye, so opt for shades that make your peepers pop. If you have blue eyes, for example, try using warm, earthy tones like copper and bronze.

]]> When it comes to our beauty routine, there are few things that frustrate us more than when the skin around our eyes looks as if we haven’t slept in weeks. There are several potential causes of dark and puffy circles ranging from lifestyle to genetics, and while no product can alter your genes, there are some on the market that can make your eyes look brighter. If you’re a coffee lover, you’re probably familiar with that wide-awake feeling that caffeine can bring, but did you know it can have a similar effect on your skin? We love these eye creams to help the skin around our eyes look bright and rested even after an all-nighter.

VERSED The Fix Emergency Eye Mask

VERSED is our favorite brand for luxury-quality, clean skincare at a drugstore price point. Their Emergency Eye Mask contains cucumber to soothe and caffeine to brighten. It makes a noticeable difference in about 10 minutes, but can also be used overnight for extra hydration.

Mario Badescu Caffeine Eye Cream

We love this eye cream because it works well with all skin types and is vegan and cruelty-free. It’s super lightweight and glides on smoothly, yet packs a serious punch when it comes to leaving our eyes looking fresh and bright. 

100% Pure Coffee Bean Eye Cream

This eye cream is our favorite for lightening dark circles, especially after we’ve had a rough night’s sleep. It also contains green tea and vitamins formulated to help prevent aging around the eye area.
