If you want to look your best you need to drink lots of water, get plenty of sleep, use the right products, etc. But for those of us who live in the real world (of occasional bar hopping and/or pulling all-nighters for work), getting those eight hours of shuteye just isn’t always possible.  Luckily, you don’t have to stumble around looking as tired as you feel. With these makeup and skin care tips, you’ll look awake and refreshed, which may confuse people when you doze off during your morning.

1. Don’t pile on too much cream before bed; it’ll just increase puffiness. Instead, use a lighter gel with peptides or botanicals.
2. Pop your eye cream or an eye mask in the refrigerator for five minutes to make it cool. Not cold though, that may pop blood vessels. Leave it on for 20 minutes. You can also use cold tea bags. Black or chamomile teas are best for their anti-inflammatory properties. To do it: Make tea. Drain excess, pop in fridge and once cool, place on lids.
3. Exercise if you have time to get your circulation going. Hang upside down or do some downward dogs — it’ll help reverse the blood flow and help with dark circles.
4. Chances are if you’re tired and/or stressed out your skin will show it by breaking out or becoming severely dehydrated. The key is to not overdo makeup in either instance. Keep it looking radiant with a tinted moisturizer that has a nice healthy sheen to it. If you’re oily try a mineral powder foundation.
5. Use a concealer that is slightly light reflective. The reflective qualities will add light and luminescence to the area.
6. Cream blushes are great way to make skin look healthy and glowy. Apply on apples of cheeks and a tiny bit on your temples.
