in addition, my skin is looking very uneven and congested and just ick

what can i do to look perkier by tomorrow?

is it worth doing a face mask or will that just make me spotty?

eye drops. those ones that are a bit blue so make your red eyes look whiter.

manicure and haircut. A proper blow dry will also look fabulous.

anyhoo, are you having a lovely time with mum?

Before you put your make-up on - set aside 1/2hr (or whatever you can manage). Wet two teabags (doesn't matter what brand just needs to be black tea) with cold water and place them on your eyes while you have a lie down. Even after 5 mins they'll be sparkling - the puffiness will go and they'll feel great.

littlelapin - white pencil will make the eyes look bigger - a light green correction pencil will do the same and banish red rims

For the red chafed nose - use concealer under your foundation.

Bottom line - enjoy the day - everyone will be looking at the bride and the bridesmaids anyway and after a few celebratory drinks no-one will even notice a red nose if it peeps through the make-up
