Out late, up early to workout? Master the art of correct and conceal.
Is there anything more infuriating than the faux-concerned comment, ‘you look tired?’ Yes, we know thanks, we didn’t get enough sleep last night, this morning’s training didn’t go well as expected and we still have an eight-hour shift to pull at the office.
But while you can power your body with caffeine (temporarily only, please), how can you pep up tired skin?
Lynsey Alexander, make-up artist and Estee Lauder UK makeup ambassador, comes to the rescue. First, she says, avoid the temptation to just cake it on. "To ensure skin looks like skin mix an illuminating balm in with your foundation. This creates a base that looks radiant, not shiny – a more modern finish. You can also use Illuminating Perfecticing Primer (£24.50).” The act of massaging your illuminator/ foundation combo into your skin will also bring blood flow up to the surface of the skin, making you looking slightly flushed, in a good way.
Next, she says, get out the paints. “Colour correct any blue-ish under tones with a warm corrector. Apply a dab of peach corrector over the top and then add your light reflector."
Finish with eyelash curlers to open up the eyes and a sweep of mascara, and you’re ready to tackle the world again.
