5 Beauty Tricks for Looking Well-Rested Even When You’re Not

You might think that late-night Netflix binge was worth every hour of missed sleep, but a zombie look just won’t cut in your morning meeting. To the rescue: Five pro tricks that will bring you back from The Walking Dead, fast.

Deflate puffy skinBoost circulation and move out fluid like a pump with this technique: Let hot shower water hit your face and gently massage your skin. After the shower, apply a cold compress for five minutes.

Give your face a liftA tight, high ponytail or even a half-updo lifts the eye area and gives the entire face a more open, alive look.

Disguise dark circlesTry this trick: Apply a yellow-tinted concealer directly to the darkest part of the under eyes  (typically the inner corners), let sit for a few seconds, then use a fluffy makeup brush to fade out the edges for a natural effect.

Open up your eyesApply a thin line of black eyeliner right against the lashline, smudging it slightly for a wide-awake effect. Be sure to curl your lashes too and don’t be afraid to pile on the mascara.

Go for a glowTwo shades of blush can do wonders to revive your skin. Apply your regular blush to the apples of cheeks, then add a brighter shade just at the tops of cheekbones for extra lift.
