131. Emergency Eye Action Clever concealers
Choose light-reflective undereye concealers to veil dark rings. Place a dot where the inner eye meets the nose, and use a subtle brush of light-reflecting highlighter to bounce light off the brow bone at the outer edge of the eye and high on the cheekbones. But before going down the makeup route, be sure to check out what a good eye cream can do.
132. Emergency Eye Action Eye oils
Since it contains few oil glands, the sensitive skin around the eyes becomes much drier with age and demands cosmetic oils that are mild, easily absorbed, and free from potentially irritating fragrance. Try using a tiny amount of jojoba or sweet almond oil these are light, yet especially nourishing for dry skin.
133. Emergency Eye Action Apply sparingly
When using eye oils and serums, apply a small amount using light strokes with the soft pad of your ring finger the index finger is too strong and may drag delicate skin.
134. Emergency Eye Action Rethink eye colors
If brows and lashes start to fade in color as you get older, rethink your makeup. Mascara may need to come down a shade, to stone or gray perhaps, or have lashes dyed professionally. Shaping with eyelash curlers gives a wide-eyed look. Avoid circling the eyes with liner and eye pencils, which can drag on mature skin.
135. Emergency Eye Action Reduce creasing
To prevent creased eye makeup, use eye serum on the lids. Allow to dry for 4–5 minutes before applying a very thin layer of foundation followed by a dusting of face powder. Only then add a thin layer of eyeshadow.
136. Emergency Eye Action Sleep upright
To ensure rested eyes the night before a big event, sleep upright on pillows and apply cold compresses to the eye area.
137. Emergency Eye Action Protect against UV
UV radiation can contribute to degenerative eye diseases and cataracts. Choose sunglasses that guarantee full UV protection and wear them everywhere. Polarized lenses are best for reducing glare. For greater levels of protection choose snug-fitting, large-framed glasses or opt for space-age wraparounds.
138. Emergency Eye Action Naturopathic cure
Naturopaths might suggest puffiness beneath the eyes is the result of fluid retention, indicating that the liver and kidneys aren’t working as efficiently as they could. To make a difference, cut out alcohol and processed foods for a couple of weeks, eat more vegetables, drink water, and exercise to kickstart circulation. Also set aside time for destressing.
139. Emergency Eye Action Cooling compresses
Tighten under-eye skin and reduce inflammation by placing chilled camomile, green or black teabags, or slices of cucumber beneath the eyes. Relax for 10–15 minutes.
140. Emergency Eye Action Eating for eye health
Introduce lots of vitamin C and colorful carotenoids into your diet. Find vitamin C in strawberries, oranges, and mangoes, carotenoids in orange and dark green colored fruit and vegetables. In studies at a Boston university, such a diet was associated with greatly reduced risk of cataracts in over 50s. Don’t forget sources of vitamin E, calcium and zinc, too, associated in other studies with a significant reduction in risk of age-related macular degeneration, the main cause of blindness post 55.
