This vid from YouTube.com shows international hair and and makeup expert Hervé Bernard, co-host of Scandinavia’s top model. The makeup artist gives easy-to-follow tips on how to eliminate puffy eyes.

So how did Hervé convert the look of the model’s face from having that I-just-woke-up-look to simply fab in just a few minutes? Here’s how:

First, immediately after waking up, you need to apply an ice mask specifically designed for the eyes, and you can wear it for 5 minutes. Next, use a ‘decongesting’ mask for about 5 to 10 minutes so that the skin under the eyes will be hydrated.

Then comes the makeup, Hervé advises to use a primer first to fix the (literal) eye shadow on the lid. Once you apply the eye make-up, use it on the area where the eye is puffy -coming over onto the lashes to make it recede.

Another trick that the beauty expert shared is that you should not wear eyeliner or a eyeshadows which have a very dark shade if you have that puffy-eyed look. To finish off the look, he used a darker shade of makeup for the eyebrow bone, and a lighter shade directly under it.

For the eyeliner, it was only applied on the outer corner of the eye. Once the eyelashes are curled, waterproof mascara is applied, a slight shimmer is penciled on to the corner of the eyes and the eyebrows are brushed -the puffy look is eliminated and the glam look appeared!
