The gaze fascinates. It's probably the first detail that grabs the other person's attention. How can you make the most of it? Here are 5 foolproof tips.

A look that's awake, mysterious, soft, fatal, sensual... no matter what it reflects, the eyes are the mirror of our soul's expression (so they say), so it's only natural to take care of them and make sure they're as beautiful as possible. While we can sometimes feel lost between all the trends and guidelines sent to us to take care of our beauty, we must keep in mind to apply what seems most appropriate to our tastes, to our personality. Obviously, a discreet person will not have the same desires or expectations when it comes to beauty as a more extroverted person. Skin care needs are also different, depending on your skin, the nature of your hair, your morphology... so many details need to be taken into account before making a firm decision on the exact routine to adopt for yourself.

What does it mean to have beautiful eyes? First and foremost, it's important to understand that beauty is subjective. True beauty lies in the way you see, love and appreciate yourself. That's the first step towards beauty! Having a beautiful look means above all being able to put a gentle eye on things, people, the world and yourself. The aesthetic aspect then comes to sublimate it.

The different gestures to adopt for beautiful eyes

Now that self-love is understood and applied, it's time to take care of your eyes in a physical way! From eye contours to eyebrows and lashes... Leave nothing to chance.

Taking care of your eyes

It's the basis for beautiful eyes. For healthy eyes, there's nothing like good hydration. Drinking at least 1.5L of water a day will keep your eyes sufficiently hydrated, give them a beautiful glow and keep them in top shape. Obviously, reducing screen time (laptop, computer and television) is important to avoid the harmful effects of blue light, which, let's not forget, prematurely ages the skin, marks fine lines, reduces radiance and so on.

Regular sleep also plays a part in eye care. Lack of sleep can be fatal... Don't forget to wear sunglasses, even in winter! UV rays can wreak havoc not only on the retina, but also on the very thin skin around the eyes. Finally, don't forget to take care of your eyelashes. Eyelashes not only protect the eyes from external aggression, they also considerably enhance the look. To pamper them, you can apply a special eyelash serum that boosts growth and strengthens the hair.

Use the right cosmetics

Whether it's skincare or make-up, it's important to choose cosmetics suited to the (very) fragile eye area. If you want perfect eyes, it's best to avoid applying just anything. These days, the vast majority of cosmetic products are suitable for sensitive skin and eyes, but it's still worth checking that the label is clearly marked on the packaging before you buy, especially if you're choosing an eye care product such as a serum for dark circles and puffiness , or an anti-wrinkle cream.

Eyebrow care

And yes, eyebrows do come into play when it comes to looking after your eyes. We've already written many articles on the subject, but as a reminder, beautiful eyebrows are full, shiny and well-groomed. To achieve this, we recommend regular tweezing to keep the line straight, a good course of eyebrow serum to help regrow and strengthen the hairs and, of course, brushing (with a clean brush) to keep the eyebrows looking tidy. If you don't want to worry about your eyebrows, you can also opt for eyebrow restructuring.

How to apply make-up for beautiful eyes?

Just as a healthy eye care routine is essential for beautiful eyes, so too is the ability to apply the right make-up. Nothing beats a touch of eyeshadow, a stroke of kohl pencil or a few brushes of mascara to revive tired eyes, enlarge small ones or simply enhance a look that's a little too simple. Here are a few beauty tips to help you get the most out of your make-up:

• Prepare your eyelids: before you start applying make-up, it's important to prepare your eyelids by applying an eye make-up base. This will help make-up last longer and prevent it from building up in the creases of your eyelids.

• Apply eye shadow: choose one or more eye shadow colors that suit your skin tone and eye color. Apply the lightest color all over the mobile eyelid and the darkest in the outer corner of the eye to add depth.

• Apply eyeliner: eyeliner can be used to enlarge and intensify the eyes. Choose an eyeliner according to the desired effect: pencil for a more natural look, felt-tip for more precise application, or gel for a more intense effect. You can apply it to the upper eyelid to enlarge the look and to the lower eyelid to intensify it.

• Apply mascara: mascara helps to lengthen and thicken lashes for a more intense look. Apply one coat of mascara for a natural effect, and several coats for maximum volume.

• Don't forget the eyebrows: to frame your eyes, it's important to shape and fill in your eyebrows. Use an eyebrow pencil or gel to fill in sparse areas and give a more structured shape.
