Put a hand-full of ice inside a handkerchief and place on and around your eyes for 20 minutes. “It’s magical, I challenge you to try it. You will feel completely renewed,” said Claudia.
Give Yourself An Eye Massage

By using the smaller part of HERBIVORE Rose Quartz Facial Roller, its cooling sensation will calm down inflammation, drain out congestion and promote collagen. Give your eyes a mini spa treatment as you begin around the eyebrow area in a linear movement and roll upwards gently. This treatment is key to restoring skin elasticity and simulating a skin lifting effect.

Along with combating inflammation and elasticity, this remedy helps erase wrinkles and dark circles.“Slicing and rubbing cold papas all over your entire eye area will give you immediate results,” said the Venezuelan beauty guru.
Consider A Concealer

Stay Away From Heavy Powder

Remember the goal is to have happy, hydrated and healthy looking eyes. “It’s best to apply concealer towards the end to achieve a natural look, spray L’Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Shake & Glow Mist.”
