How to Fake Wide Awake!
Lately, my beauty sleep has taken a back seat to everything else I’ve been up to–attending beauty events, catching up on 3 years worth of Downton Abbey, caring for my little guy who who’s been under-the-weather and the normal day to day of cooking meals, chauffeuring back and forth to activities, tidying the house, reading for the two book clubs I belong to, staying on top of my part-time job and writing this blog–and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Eyes: Red, tired eyes are the tell, but forget using white eyeliner on your waterline, it always looks unnatural. Instead, use a skin-tone or nude pencil on both the inner upper and inner lower lids to neutralize redness and brighten the entire eye area. A creamy, budge-proof formula will stay put and won’t tug the delicate eye area. I like Chanel Le Crayon Khol in 69 Clair, $28 and Nars Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Rue Bonaparte, $24. Curl lashes and add mascara.
Face: When you’re tired your complexion tends to look dry and lackluster. Don’t overdo it with a heavy foundation. Use a moisturizing makeup with a sheer, luminous finish. Try Clinique Supermoisture Makeup, $25 or Chanel Vitalumiere Fluid Makeup, $55. Finish with a pop of color on cheeks and lips such as, Julie Hewett Cheekie Cheek & Lip Shine, $24.
Yes, I’ve been burning the candle on both ends, but thanks to these beauty tips I don’t have to look it…and neither do you!
