Your 3-Step Routine For Bright Eyes: A Makeup Artist Explains

Our eyes are the windows to our soul, and they don't lie—when we're tired, it shows in the eyes first. December's indulgences of sugar and booze and late night celebrations, can take a toll on your skin. We spoke with natural makeup artist Katey Denno, who has been working with all-natural brands for the last 10 years and knows exactly which products to use and when and about how to fight the fatigue by making our eyes look brighter. Here are her tricks and the natural beauty products she recommends for each:

Denno recommends the surratt eyelash curler—it fits more eye shapes than other curlers. To curl lashes well, get as close to the root as possible. Here's the trick to getting it right every time: Regardless of which eye you're on, angle the curler down toward your nose so the outer edge of the curler is tilted up—this gets you that "glam" eyes wide open look. Denno's favorite all-natural mascara of the moment is Honest Beauty's mascara and lash primer. Here's evidence of just how pretty it is. One end is a lash conditioner, which has a creamy consistency and isn't too fibrous. Burt's Bee's nourishing mascara is a more affordable, natural drugstore option Denno swears by.

Choose a shade that complements your eye color. In the last few years, natural makeup companies have really upped the ante with their pigmented options. "You want to smash the color into your lash line," Denno said. You can use these as shadows on all of your lid for a softer look or as eyeliners if you need more definition.
