How To Look Refreshed

Heavy nights out, large workloads and other factors can result in looking, well, pretty crap really. If I stay up late, or have been out the night before I pay for it the next day with red tired eyes and a sallow complexion. Although there is not a miracle cure at this time you can cheat the look of a restful sleep with the right products.

Anything too pink can bring attention to those bloodshot eyes so stay neutral and peachy, it will perk the complexion and add some radiance even if you feel like death. The eyes are the biggest giveaway and unless you plan on sitting indoors with sunglasses and a headscarf like some kind of crazy lady you will have to reveal those peepers.

White eyeliners are harsh and seriously dated so forget them, go for a nude or very pale pink. They look more natural in the water line and create the illusion of bigger brighter eyes. For an extra wide-open look take a pearlescent shadow and apply to the inner corners, this will add highlight to those darkened areas.
