  • Fresh makeup, a nutritional breakfast, a good attitude and coffee ... Lots of it.

  • I do my usual routine and remind myself that the majority of other people are oblivious to details in others.

  • Tablespoons in the freezer and put on the eyes in the morning. Ahhhhhh...

  • Cucumbers work wonders for puffy eyes! Believe me. Slice some cucumber rounds and apply them over your eyes for a few minutes in the morning; using cooler pieces after a minute or so. Your eyes will feel and look more refreshed.

    Also, apply a dampened, warm washcloth over your face for a few peaceful moments before you go. Then use your favorite cream for your face to give yourself the healthy glow you would have had if you'd gotten more sleep. Apply your make-up, and voila'...

    Wear something comfortable and not binding; something that looks good on you, without much effort on your part.

  • COFFE IN THE MOUTH, MAKE UP ON THE FACE!! NOT THE OPPOSITE.

  • Benefit makes a white pencil that works great too... also a cold face wash (before make up) and a good fresh scent. I have a lemon orange jasmine spray in my car that really wakes me up whenever i smell it. Cold wet tea bags on the eyes in the morning while you're waiting for coffee to go works for any puffiness if you have it.

  • This was me today. No big meeting, but very little sleep this week and I looked it. I bought this eye brightening pencil at Origins a while back - it's light blue and you put it on the inside of your bottom lid. I am usually not into these tricks - I know, I know, I should spend more time on ME:) - but I did this today and I think it made my eyes look a bit less red and tired.
