How do I not look like the walking dead?

I'm pretty much told at least once a day (feels like by everyone) "you look tired".

Probably because I am. I simply do not sleep well. Been an (unwilling) early waker my entire life. Now I'm cracking on and it's worse.

Anyway, I'm 47 and have serve hollow eyed look and not met a undereye concealer that makes a scrap of difference. (Though I admit I've no make up artist skills at all.)

I've a family wedding coming up and as always ith weddings bwvause of work/travel this means I'll be up late the night before and wake early the day of. I'll look horrendous. And this side of the family are horrible judgey types.

Please help. I'd just like to not look worse than my beautiful gran (who would be 98 if she were still alive).

Besides the HRT (do it!), I'm a notorious early waker (5ish) but I can get an extra hour or so if I wear an eye mask and put on some brown/pink/white noise to block out outside noise. Worth a shot.
