4. Mascara
Another beauty tool which will open and brighten your eyes in a jiff is mascara. If you are looking sleepy or tired in the morning, applying mascara to your lashes will make you appear more awake and alert throughout the day, because mascara makes your eyelashes much darker, which in turn contrasts the white of your eyes. Today, there are many different brands and types of mascara on the market. Choose the one that suits your needs. A high-quality mascara takes only a few seconds to apply and it makes your eyes look bright and cheerful.

7. Makeup remover
This beauty product is essential, especially if you wear makeup every single day. Sometimes it’s difficult to wash off makeup, but it has to be done, otherwise it will clog your pores and if you wear eye makeup overnight it can be dangerous for your eyes. Makeup remover comes in a liquid form or wipes, and both are fairly inexpensive and effective, and can be found at any drug store. Makeup remover is created to make it easier and quicker to remove your makeup.
8. Eyelash curler
One of the best ways to open up and brighten your eyes is to use an eyelash curler. You can either use it before you apply your mascara or without mascara. This beauty tool is perfect to make your lashes appear longer and even thicker. An eyelash curler is also perfect for a natural look.
