Taking care of the under-eye area can make a huge difference in how awake and refreshed your face looks.

While some may skip eye creams, I’ve found them essential for keeping puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines under control. Proper treatment can even reduce the amount of concealer you need each day. Here’s my approach to keeping under-eyes bright and smooth!

1. Morning Eye Care: Brighten and Hydrate

Starting the day with a hydrating and illuminating eye cream helps wake up tired eyes. I use Naturium Vitamin Bright, which contains light-reflecting pearls to give the under-eye area a subtle glow, reduces the appearance of dark circles, and keeps the skin hydrated. Applying this in the morning creates a smooth base that helps concealer go on more lightly and evenly.

2. Nighttime Eye Care: Treat Fine Lines

Evening routines are about repair and restoration. At night, I focus on products that target fine lines and firmness. Clarins Total Eye Lift is my current favorite. It helps tighten and lift the under-eye area while brightening dark circles. Consistent use reduces puffiness and promotes smoother skin, making morning makeup easier and lighter.

Caring for your under-eyes isn’t just about makeup—it’s about maintaining healthy, hydrated skin. With the right morning and nighttime creams, you can brighten, lift, and smooth your under-eyes, reducing the need for heavy concealer while keeping your eyes looking vibrant and awake!
