Choose Your Lip Shade Wisely
Just like the wrong shade of lipstick can make your teeth look two shades yellow-er, the right shade can brighten up your whole face, including your eyes. Clinique conducted a study to find out which shades of lipstick contrasted the most with white teeth, and dentists found that blue-based red, violet-based soft pinks and bright coral lip colors all made teeth look one shade whiter.

To contrast with the whites of your eyes, Lipstick Queen founder Poppy King recommends tangerine hues, like Lipstick Queen Jungle Queen in Pop-paya Coral. If you prefer a more classic look, try L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche LipColour in British Red.

Bloodshot eyes are never cute. Whether you've been burning the midnight oil, fighting off the flu or sneezing your way through allergy season, bloodshot eyes are a dead giveaway that you're not feeling (or looking) your best. A recent study found that people with red eyes appear sadder, less healthy and less attractive than those with clear, white eyes.

What's more, the natural color of your eye will pop even more if the white of your eyes contrast against it.

To find out how to make our eyes brighter, we turned to celebrity makeup artists Lucy Halperin and Darlene Jacobs, who whiten the eyes of on-camera talent -- you know, those folks known for running from premiere to premiere, traveling and working all kinds of crazy hours.
