Eye Makeup Looks That'll Take Years Off Your Face

This makeup bag staple has a lot of power in the anti-aging genre. "Line inner top lid with a black pencil and a nude on the bottom inner rim," suggests New York City-based makeup artist, Kimara Ahnert. "This eye awakening tip is all about the contrast that brightens and pops. Black will make the whites of eyes look clearer and the eye color richer and bolder. By pairing it with nude on the bottom, keeps eyes fresh, natural and youthful." Look to a celebrity like Amal Clooney for inspiration.

Kerry Washington is the queen of this red carpet classic. "Layer top lashes with an extended cat eye liner," says Ahnert. "Emphasizing the outer corner of the eyes make eyes look more open and lifted. Reapply extra coats of mascara to the outer lashes only."

Use this makeup look, exemplified by Diane Kruger, as another excuse to splurge on that new neutral eyeshadow palette this holiday season. "Contour eyes with a medium to medium deep shadow to the crease and outer crease of eyes," suggests the pro. "Contouring gives eyes depth and definition, making them look bigger, bolder, and perfectly shaped. Use one color for the entire crease and then go darker with a shade on top to the outer corner."

Opt for a lighter eyeshadow rather than a dark, smoky shade on your eyelids and around the eyes, like Jenna Dewan Tatum. "Highlighting the corners makes eyes look brighter and fresh," says Ahnert. "Use a light color shadow in matte or shimmer to inner corner, lower lash line in outer corner, and the inner lid."
