To make tired eyes look perky: On days when your eyes are bloodshot and tired, trade in your black mascara for a navy one. Blue creates less of contrast than black, so the red will be less obvious. We like Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Royal Blue, $6.16.

To make your teeth look whiter: Lipsticks with blue undertones, like berries and pinks, make yellow teeth look brighter. Test your lip hue on the veins on the inside of your wrist--if it blends ...
