The Best Beauty Hacks To Look Less Tired In Seconds
De-puff Your Eye Area
Our under-eye area is like IG stories: It really gives out everything going on in your life. The first step to look fresh is to rejuvenate the under-eye area by giving it a gentle massage. You can go for a caffeine-rich formula that instantly lights up the area or look for an under-eye cream with ingredients like retinol, bakuchiol, and peptides. Pro Tip: You can also place a cool, moist green tea bag for 5 minutes to freshen up tired-looking eyes.
Treat Or Cover Dark Circles
Unless you have superhuman genes, you’ve definitely had to deal with them. But there are some over-the-counter products that can reduce the appearance of dark circles by plumping, hydrating, and brightening the under-eye area. Try an eye cream with Bakuchiol or instantly mask it with your favorite concealer.
Spritz A Hydrating Spray
There’s nothing like a spritz of hydrating spray. It’s the best way to get a natural glow on the go. If you are a torch-bearer of skin-minimalism, you’re gonna love this mist by. It’ll keep you looking fresh by injecting a dose of hydration to your skin and imparting a natural and healthy glow.
Boost Radiance With A Face Serum
We all are aware that lack of sleep can lead to a dull complexion but yes, there’s a way to fake a good night's sleep. We love the Clarins Double Serum, this formula is a blend of turmeric that instantly gives a boost of radiance, making it smooth and supple. A quick massage with hydrating serums including collagen and peptides will also do the trick.
Add A Pop Of Colour To Your Lips
The most effortless way to brighten up your face and elevate your style is by adding a pop of colour to your lips. For, in beauty, there’s no category more timeless than lipstick. Just one transformative swipe across your lips can make you look well put-together and chicer. It is edgy, playful and not much is required as far as technique.
Use A Cream Blush
Blush is unarguably one of the best products to help you look lively and flushed. Nothing matches the trendy rose aesthetics that blush can bring to your zoom. It makes the entire face look alive by adding warmth to the skin tone and lifting up the cheeks. We recommend using… for naturally flushed cheeks. Cream formulas are amazing for giving your skin a dewy glow.
Try An Illuminating Highlighter
Highlighters shouldn’t be reserved just for post-lockdown late-night club strolls - in fact, there are some life-changing formulas that are destined to become a key staple in your everyday beauty line-up. When faking a glow, it’s crucial to consider the positioning. Place it on areas where light naturally hits the face- the top of your cheekbone, brow bone, cupid’s bone, and chin.
Add Definition to Your Lashes
The easiest way to perk up your face in a couple of swipe? Whether you’re looking for fanned-out or full-looking lashes- mascara is a beauty product that can make you look wide awake in seconds. And it’s best for days when you want to look awake but definitely not overdone.
