If you’re opting for a bold colour like this, you need to stick to graphic shapes on eyes because a wash all over your lids will enhance natural redness, making your peepers look tired and your skin sallow.

Go for a high-pigment liquid texture such as , £5.50.

Build up the shape gradually, as red can be hard to remove if you make any mistakes.

Start with the flick, then work from the middle outwards and finish at the inner corners.

If worn correctly, pink can really make eyes pop. Just avoid wearing it too close to the centre of your face as it will dull the whites of your eyes, making you look tired.

Instead, apply to outer corners, which will open the eyes and disguise any dark circles as pink counteracts the greyness in skin.

Wake up a dull complexion with a sweep of orange all over your lids, ensuring you go into the inner corners and under the lower lashes.

Choose a warm hue with a slight shimmer like , £13.50, as it suits every eye colour.
