Okay, so I’ve been messing around with makeup lately, trying to find new ways to make my eyes pop. And you know what? I stumbled upon this thing called “inner eye corner highlight,” and let me tell you, it’s pretty neat! It’s basically just putting a bit of shimmer in the inner corners of your eyes to brighten them up.
So, here’s how I did it. First, I picked out a highlighter. I’ve got a few, some silver, some kinda gold, and a pink one too. I decided to go with the silvery one because I thought it would match my eye color best. You can use whatever you have, though. Powder, cream, whatever floats your boat.
Then, I grabbed a small eyeshadow brush. I have one with shorter, denser bristles that I like to use for details like this. You could also use your finger, but I find a brush gives me more control. Using a brush is better than using fingers for this.
Next, I carefully applied the highlighter to the inner corners of my eyes. I just dabbed a little bit on, making sure not to go overboard. I was going for a subtle glow, not a blinding beam of light.
- Start with a clean base. I washed my face and applied moisturizer.
- Choose a highlighter that complements your skin tone.
- Use a small brush for precise application.
- Apply the highlighter to the inner corner of your eyes.
- Blend well to avoid harsh lines.
After I applied the highlighter, I stepped back and took a look. My eyes looked brighter and more awake. It’s like the light just bounced off those inner corners, making my whole eye area look more lively.
The cool thing is, you can play around with different shades to get different looks. Like, if you use a warmer, gold-toned highlighter, it might give you more of a sun-kissed vibe. I applied a white eyeliner on my waterline, and it made my eyes look bigger.
Some Tips from My Messing Around
- Don’t go too heavy with the highlighter. Less is more.
- You can use this trick with any eyeshadow look, from natural to dramatic.
- If you have dark circles, try using a peachy or pink-toned highlighter to counteract the darkness.
Honestly, it’s a super simple trick, but it makes a noticeable difference. I’ll definitely be adding this to my makeup routine, especially on days when I need a little extra oomph. Give it a try and see what you think!
