Fake Your Beauty Rest!

Hi Beautifuls!

During the school year, we all have one of those mornings where we wake up looking like a zombie, deprived and restless. Unfortunately, this upcoming year will not be any different. Here are a few makeup tips and tricks that can help you look more awake and ready to conquer the day!


1. Moisturize and use a dewy foundation
Matte foundation on a tired face can have the skin seem deprived and dry. Opt for a dewy foundation along with moisturizer to look refreshed and youthful. If you have oily skin, use your normal matte foundation but just make sure you moisturize just as well before hand!
Recommendations:
Oily Skin: Revlon Photoready Airbrushed Foundation
Dry Skin: Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid 

2. Brows
Eyebrows frame the face. If you do not want to go the full nine yards with eyeshadow and highlight in the dreadful morning, fill in your brows. Great eyebrows can transform your face for the best! 

3. White Eyeliner
White eyeliner is my favorite for those days that I want bigger, more awake eyes. Apply it on your bottom lashes and the inner corner of your eye. A white eyeliner, unlike darker eyeliner will make your eyes look brighter.

4. Blush
A little blush can go a long way, it adds color to the face while helping it appear more youthful and fresh. Stay awake from dark reds and pinks as they can make you look dull and dirty. 

5. Mascara
If I only had to use one makeup product for the rest of my life, it would be mascara. With just one coat you will look 10x more awake and glamorous with long bold lashes.

6. Lipgloss
A dry cracked lip is the first sign of hydration deprivation, and anyone will notice when you talk. Apply a brighter lipgloss that will give you great coverage without drying out your lips. Btw, NYX butter glosses are my favorite! Only $5, so check them out!


I hope you enjoyed! Remember this the next time you want to fake a beauty sleep after a crazy all-nighter. :)
