If you’ve been burning the candle at both ends, it’s your eyes that will give you away.
But these days, with so many eye-boosting goodies on the beauty shelves, puffy peepers and tell-tale dark circles should be a perfectly avoidable beauty hazard.
So, what is the best plan of attack for gorgeously wide-awake eyes?
We caught up with pro makeup artist and skincare guru Louise Tear to gather her top tips.
“Your eyes really are the windows to your wellbeing,” says Louise.
“That’s why it’s so important to take good care of the delicate skin around your eyes.
“When cleansing or removing makeup, make sure you’re using a suitably sensitive product.
“And if those late nights are getting the better of you, a rich and reviving eye cream is the answer,” she adds.
