Your number 1 tip for looking less tired

What’s your top tip for looking less tired? I am not sleeping well and it’s showing on my face. I don’t really have any tips to share sadly! I’ve tried various highlighters and lash curlers and under eye concealers but none of them actually make me look more awake. I use very little make up these days and I think it’s v hard to make yourself look awake and alert on a minimal make up routine. Please share your secrets!

Fake lash extensions… I wasn’t a fan until I had to get them. Now I Cant be without them, I go for the natural last. They last around 4 weeks and I look fresh and a little younger too.

Tightlining! I look completely dead if I don't tightline my eyes. Even if it's the only make up I apply it helps.

Sleep

@pharmachameleon do you use eyeshadow or a pencil to tight mine your eyes?

Hoolihan · 14/01/2023 20:57

Tanning drops.

LlynTegid · 14/01/2023 20:58

Water and consistent sleep.

pharmachameleon · 14/01/2023 20:58

@QuizteamAguillera I used a pencil for a while but then found it was causing blocked tear ducts. Switched to a pen-Collection Fast Stones and it doesn't budge all day.

More water , less wine

TreacleTart8 · 14/01/2023 20:59

In no particular order:
Cold facial roller
face mask from the fridge
red lipstick
Nars illuminating tinted moisturiser
water
fake it till bedtime (early)

Mydogatemypurse · 14/01/2023 21:00

Drink more water

Sandra1984 · 14/01/2023 21:04

Beauty tips: Drinking lots of water, 9 hours sleep, exercise of any sorts, laughter, good sex, excellent eye concealer, Moroccan oil on face every morning to make your skin naturally glow, no stress, child free life and when your face looks puffy cover it with a bag of frozen peas for 15 mins and apply moisturiser after. It really gets rid of the puffy ness.

Get out on fresh air. Gives you rosy cheeks.
