If you're feeling a little under the weather, people tend to notice right away. That's because they "see it in your eyes". Your eyes are the single most demonstrative part of your face. When you are not happy, it shows in your eyes: they do not smile. When you are excited or thrilled, it's obvious by the sparkle in your eyes. Best of all, you can flirt without moving any muscle except a single eyelid – up, down, in a bold wink. For all the things your eyes do for you, you want to keep them healthy, shiny and bright. Here's how:

Eye makeup beauty tips for tired, puffy, dark circled eyes
There are all sorts of make-up hints for brightening the eye: you can try white eye liner on the inside corner to widen your eyes, and there are eye creams made to reduce darkness, puffiness or lines that may obscure your eyes. But there are other ways to brighten your eyes without buying a thing at the cosmetics counter. You can ease puffy eyelids by taking the teabags out of the pot, letting them cool, and placing them, still damp, on your closed eyes. The tannin in the tea (or if it's herbal tea, the essential oils in the herbs), soothe the delicate skin of the eyelids and moisturize your eyes. You can use cucumber slices instead, but teabags are an easy pick-me-up for morning when you're drinking your tea anyway. And, in a pinch, a cool, damp washcloth feels just wonderful on those burning, overworked orbs.

Drink more water and prevent sleep deprivation
Getting enough sleep reduces redness in the eye and puffiness around the lids, which makes napping and essential part of beautifying your eyes. Finally, drinking plenty of water keeps your eyes from drying out, preventing them from becoming bloodshot or bleary. One way to brighten your eyes is to avoid drinking alcohol and substitute mineral water instead. Smiling is one way to brighten up not only your eyes, but your whole face. When you're smiling, your eyes crinkle, twinkle and dance. And for the ultimate in starry eyes, throw in some candlelight, soft music, and a fond companion.
