Quick tips for looking awake?

[runaways]

I'm going to be working 100+ hours a week and running on major sleep deprivation in May. Also, probably wearing glasses most of the time. I thought about going makeup free for a month but that's no fun. I don't usually wear concealer at all but I do have a tube of under eye concealer. Thoughts?

I like Origins GinZing for under the eye, eyelid, and at the temples to help look awake.

When I've had to work horrific hours, I generally do moisturizer (I have dry skin), the GinZing, mascara, eyebrows, and bronzer. And drink LOTS of water!

A light nude liner for tight lining the lower lashline does wonders for me. Not as harsh or obvious as white liner, yet still covers darkness or redness in that area.

Moisturizer, tons of water, and lip gloss.
I also second using a nude eyeliner for tight lining under the eye and pop a little pink in the corner of my eye.

Use light, subtlety shimmery eye shadow to open your eyes.

I do something similar, except under the lower lash line.  I use the Benefit Eye Bright and smudge it out a bit.  The lightness under helps to brighten and detract from dark circles.  I also do a soft pink or vanilla shimmer pop of eye shadow in my inner corner.

Stay super hydrated. I also use slightly shimmery light shadows as stated above and super black mascara. I think that helps. My go to shadows when I am super tired are both MAC: Jest and Naked Lunch. And of course blush. A pretty pink or peach blush always lives up the face.
That schedule sounds grueling. Besf of luck to you

I had no clue this product existed. I swear NYX has a product for everything but you can't tell because the displays are one giant hodgepodge.

Ditto the wonder pencil for lower waterline. Blush always makes me feel more alive, too. Don't skip it. Good luck! Sounds like a brutal schedule.

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch highlighting concealer for under the eyes. This is not the time you want to quit wearing makeup. You need to feel better about yourself when your tired and run down.

A dab of slightly shimmery highlight in inner corners of eye area. I'm currently using becca poured perfection. But benefit watt's up is great too.
