Eyes are often the first things we notice when we meet people. They come in an array of sizes, shapes and colors but more important, they tell a great deal about who we are and what we think.

I’ve heard it said that the eyes are the gates to the soul. I like to think of them as a reflection or mirror of how we feel. They sparkle when we’re happy and darken when we’re tired. They puff up when we cry and droop when we’re sad.

Here are 3 tips to help keep our eyes looking their best on the outside regardless of how we’re feeling on the inside.

1. Define it and line it: nothing adds a little umph to the eyes like eyeliner. Whether you prefer a pencil or powder, lining your lids is a great way to add definition and dimension to your eyes.
2. Shape and color: it’s amazing how the right eye color can take you from ordinary to daring in seconds. Using darker shades in the fold of the eye will give your eyes a younger,  sexier look.
3. Puff-be-gone: one of the primary causes of puffy eyes is dehydration and lack of sleep. So make sure you get your full dosage of sleep and water.
