Get a Good Night’s Sleep!

First and foremost, a good night’s sleep will give you a clear head and make you look well-rested (without having to fake it!).  Experts recommend getting at least 8 hours. Your body, mind and soul and will be ready for whatever you throw at it tomorrow, if you get enough sleep tonight!

Experiment with a Bright Color.

Bright colors are fun, playful and scream “confident!”  Try a purple eyeliner, or a wash of green eyeshadow over your eyelids. If you’re heading to the office, experiment with a colorful lipstick. I love glossy, watermelon colored lips!  Or try a hot pink like Alexis Bledel (above).

Add A Little Glow.

Nothing screams “fresh-faced” like glowy skin! Look how gorgeous Hayden Pannettiere looks with a dewy complexion! To get the look: add a highlighter (my favorite is of course, NARS Multiple in Copacabana) to the tops of your cheekbones and done the bridge of your nose. If you don’t have a highlighter on hand, take a shimmery champagne eyeshadow or pigment, load up a fluffy brush with the color and lightly sweep along your cheekbones. Viola!

Take it one step further by rubbing your whole body down with a shimmery body lotion.

Pamper your Peepers.

If you are tired or hungover, your eyes will give it away! Make sure to give your peepers a little extra TLC tonight, and your whole face will thank you in the morning. Take a chamomile tea bag, soak it in warm water for 2-3 minutes and place them over your eyes for 10 minutes. Cucumbers work just as well to reduce bags and puff!
