Hide the tiredness

Filed in archive Beauty on September 18, 2006

If you're missing a good night's sleep, and there are just too many things in your workday to manage, you must be feeling and looking exhausted. The feeling of tiredness won't just go away before you get in a healthy 7 hour sleep cycle again, but there sure is something you can do with your face, to hide away the tiredness.

If you have dark circles around your eyes, do read my post about hiding them efficiently with yellow concealer, and if you're wondering which yellow Concealer to buy, I wrote a piece about it too.

But, one of the easiest and quickest ways of masking the tired look of your face is a trick to be remembered: just mix your regular foundation with some liquid highlighter. Do this by putting a small amount of foundation on your palm, add a bit of highlighter and mix together well. Apply as usually. You won't believe the difference!

If you don't have a liquid highlighter, Benefit High Beam is a great choice for this purpose. It's soft pink and will give you a nice glow; you'll end up looking some years younger and certainly more rested.
