Hello everyone . I’ve got a wedding to attend today and had a terrible broken sleep last night and have a puffy face and really tired under eyes. Will need to wear a bit of makeup under eyes as have dark circles, but need to put something on first to deal with the puffiness. Any tried and tested ideas? I have cucumber and ice in my house, might have some other stuff anyone knows any quick fix remedies. Does cucumber actually work?

Lightly massage round eyes.

i also didn’t get enough sleep but I’m having 35 people round for my birthday and have a lot to do still.

Give it time, something cool over your eyes. Coffee and shower !

puffiness usually subsides after little while.

Gently press a cold (from the fridge) spoon under your eyes for a few minutes.

Caffeine eye cream might help, if you live near a Boots/Superdrug.

It won't look as noticeable to other people as it does to you. Try not to dwell on it and have a lovely time!

Pop some sliced cucumber in the freezer and lay that on your eyes
