With the right makeup products and applications, you can lighten under-eye shadows, lift your lids, and make your eyelashes stand up and salute. Read on for four tips guaranteed to brighten eyes and bring about a youthful glow.

1. Highlight your tear duct area with concealer. Using a fluffy brush, apply concealer under your eyes and to their inside corners. Blend in with a makeup sponge.
2. Sweep eye shadow upward and outward. Apply eye shadow along the crease of the upper eyelid with a fluffy brush, brushing up and out.
3. Apply highlighter at the center of the lid. Brush it over the middle part of the eyelid using a small makeup brush. Blend thoroughly.
4. Curl your eyelashes twice (at the base and middle). Clamp top eyelashes at the base using an eyelash curling tool. Repeat this process in the middle of the lashes. Finish with a coat of mascara on your upper and lower lashes.
