Bright Eyes

The bright-eyes look opens up the whole face — de-puffed, lifted, wide-awake eyes that read rested even when you're not. The fastest way to look refreshed.

A mix of skincare, light placement and lash work does it. Here's how to brighten the under-eye, lift the lid and fake eight hours of sleep.

   Double cleanse and exfoliate gently a few times a week.

2. 2

   Layer a hydrating serum and lock it in with moisturizer.

3. 3

   Never skip daily SPF — the real secret to filtered skin.

4. 4

   Add a weekly mask and a facial massage for glow.

Your step-by-step product routine

Use them in this order for the best, longest-lasting result.

1. 1

   Cleanse. A gentle cleanser (CeraVe Hydrating) morning and night — never strip the skin.

2. 2

   Treat. In the morning, a vitamin C serum (The Ordinary) to brighten and even tone over time.

3. 3

   Moisturise. Lock in hydration with a cream (CeraVe) — apply to slightly damp skin so it absorbs better.

4. 4

   Protect. SPF 50 (La Roche-Posay Anthelios) every single morning — the real secret to filtered-looking skin.

5. 5

   Weekly boost. A hydrating mask (Laneige Water Sleeping) 1–2× a week for that plump, glassy bounce.

6. 6

   Finish. A tinted lip oil (Dior Lip Glow) for an instant healthy flush.
