Curling eyelashes to give a wider eyed effect…
Swooshing bronzer across cheeks to give a healthy tone…
Applying brightening white eyeliner to banish the appearance of red eyes…
Layering highlighter with pigment-lifting foundation to mask the appearance of tired skin…
These are just a few tricks of the trade when it comes to faking energy in your face. Non-invasive, and accessible to all, they are a way of disguising the effects of fatigue in your skin and your eyes – well, almost.
The trouble with faking it is, even if you fool others, you’re not fooling yourself. If you’re looking weary to the point you need to turn to cosmetic tricks, we’re willing to bet the last thing you feel like doing is faffing with heated eyelash curlers!
We’re not suggesting that we don’t all need to fake a little energy here and there, but if you’re spending a lot of time thinking about how to hide the signs of tiredness on your face, it might also be time to start thinking about why they’re there to begin with.
Dark circles, redness, breakouts and lacklustre skin are all skin conditions associated with sleep deprivation. So, if for no other reason than the pursuit of better skin, maybe it’s time to give your sleep the same level of priority as your make up routine.
