Superstar makeup artist Nick Barose divulged on his instagram (http://followgram.me/dilokritbarose) that he recently used our Eye Bright Kit on the beautiful Kate Mara – we’re big fans of this handy palette too! With 1 brightener, 2 concealers, and 1 highlighter, the eye area is instantly illuminated – and, as you'll learn in the tutorial below, it's so easy to use...

If you’re looking to be bright-eyed in a few simple steps, you only really need 3 products:
- Using fingers, apply Eye Bright Kit to eye area – dab brightener onto inner & outer corners of eyes, pat concealers over the brightener & across lid to create a more even skintone, then lightly blend the highlighter onto tops of cheekbones, below brow bones, and dot onto the tear duct area of eyes.
- Apply Eye Bright Liner to lower inner rims of eyes (also called “waterline”) – it’s the area between the lashes and eye itself. To extend wear time, try lightly drying the area with a cotton swab before applying Eye Bright Liner.
- After curling lashes, use Lash Booster Mascara in Blackest Blue. This shade is dark enough that it looks black, but has a subtle hint of blue that really opens up eyes & cuts out redness. It’s my go-to mascara!
Curious about the Eye Bright Liner? It's one of my favorite products, as is the new Extra Eye Bright Liner!

The original Eye Bright Liner is a waterproof flesh-toned liner designed to be applied to the inner rims of eyes. The colour extends the visual area of the eye, making it appear so much larger & the eye white look super bright.
This Spring, the original Eye Bright Liner gets intensified with our new & exciting Extra Eye Bright Liner – it’s the same waterproof formula with a hint of pale lavender to really perk up eyes for an even brighter look!
OK, enough talk – just look at the effects of these liners below!

The black liner creates an intense look (try Pop Beauty In-Liner in In Black for a great black inner rim liner that won’t budge), while Eye Bright Liner makes a beautifully natural enhanced eye, and Extra Eye Bright Liner is EXTRA brightening & awakening.

Since one of my main goals with Pixi is to make all products multipurpose, these twist-up (that means no sharpening!) pencils work wonders to brighten anywhere! Here are some tricks from some of the girls in the Pixi office:
Arie - "I put it on the inner corner of my eye, close to the bridge of my nose, to brighten up that area and make me look more wide awake."
Sara B - "I like to reapply during the day to refresh eyes, since they start to feel tired and look red from being at a computer all day."
Megan - "I love to trace it around the edge of the lips - this acts as a highlighter to make lips look larger & also keeps my lip colour in place all day!"
Take a look at the video below to watch me show you how to use Eye Bright Liner around lips:
Lastly, I wanted to show you how versatile these nude-hued eye liners are! Add to a minimal & fresh look to create a wide-eyed effect OR add to your smoky eye to really open it up & keep it from looking too heavy. Very different looks, but very gorgeous either way!
