We have all experienced a time when we need to wake up early and try our best to look like a decent human being after a sleepless night spent partying with friends. You do not want to be caught looking like a zombie walking around town, do you? In order to fix this, we have listed a number of tips and tricks that will still make you look flawless despite having only an hour or two of sleep.
Give importance to your lashes
You might not have the energy to do a 5 minute makeup routine which you have been doing every day of your life but if you want to look decent, you need to curl your lashes. Curling your lashes will immediately make your eyes pop and counteracts the all-nighter you just pulled off. Use a good eyelash curler then coat your lashes with your favorite mascara and you are all good.
White eye shadow does the trick
If you want to look awake and have the extra energy after pulling an all-nighter, then putting eye shadow before you curl your lashes can do the trick. This color will add brightness to your eyes and make you look like you’ve had enough sleep. Dab a bit of eye shadow in the corners of your eyes and under your eyebrows and you will definitely look more alert than you actually are.
Nothing beats a good shower
A lot of people are used to showering upon getting up so if you are one of those, just stick to your routine. If you feel sleepy as ever, interchange warm and cool water so your blood flow will get stimulated thus, helping you become more alert so you get the energy to perform your makeup and hair routine. A good shower can help you not only look good after a sleepless night but it will also make you feel a lot better.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
Once you’ve done taking a bath, you will immediately feel like a decent human being again. So why not take advantage of the energy and time you have by not skipping on the skin moisturizer? Your skin probably feels dry because your body has been deprived of rest so a way to bring back the moisture is by applying moisturizer. It will immediately give you a fresher look after.
Drinking cold water will save the day
Your body may feel dehydrated especially if you had one too many drinks and a good way to replenish it is by drinking a glass of cold water or two upon waking up. The coldness of the water will help you wake up and give you a glow that will trick people that you had enough sleep.
Choose comfy clothing
Part of not looking like a walking zombie is choosing an outfit that is both stylish and comfortable. You may skip the stylish part if you lack the energy to mix and match outfits and if you are only going out for some errands. You may just opt to wear a summer dress or a nice shirt paired with your trusty pair of jeans. During these moments, you really need to select comfort over style.
Munch on something
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so while you are doing your makeup, have something to munch on too. It will give you the energy you will surely need!
