A Brightening Eye Pencil More Effective Than Caffeine (Well, Almost)

What: Three Custom Color Light Clarifier, $16.50

Why: We’ve all had those days where we look like we indulged in one too many cocktails and got zero sleep—even though we didn’t. (Or maybe we did…wink, wink.) Unbelievably, Three Custom Color’s Light Clarifier gives a haggard appearance a quick, wide-eyed kick. When drawn on the inner lower eyelid, this flesh-peach pencil whitens up bleary eyes, lending them a wide-awake appearance without looking too obvious.

Want to brighten your features even more? Fill in your brow bone with a few strokes of Light Clarifier, then lightly smudge with your finger. Instant eyelift—sans surgery.
