I can’t wear makeup in work anymore but I look like the living dead -help!!

What products can I use that aren’t technically makeup but will make me look less dead?!! I already use a gradual tanner, I think I can get away with a bit of concealer under my eyes but is there a base product that will help my skin that isn’t pigmented?

Many thanks.

@Herja

Oh! And cheek stain is a thing. I don't know where you'd get it now, but I definitely used to have a cheek and lip stain that just stayed put. You rubbed a small drop (on fingers first) over your cheeks or lips. The one I used came from the Body Shop years ago.
There’s always Benetint

Benetint on cheeks and lips. A little loose powder if your nose is shiny.

My job is pharmaceutical. We’ve been told that ‘light make up’ is ok but I think this will eventually change to nothing so I might as well start getting used to it.

Thanks again for all the ideas.

I wonder if you thinking of Smashbox O blush gel?

I use this every morning, sometimes an extra spritz in the afternoon too and it really brightens my complexion. I have very sensitive skin and it doesn’t bother it at all, it’s great stuff.
