Feeling Tired after Your Saturday Night out? Here’s How to hide all those Imperfections with MUA…

So how do you fix yourself up so that you don't look like you had too many drinks or even not much sleep? While there is no magic remedy I can prescribe you, I can just help you disguise the evidence.

Here are some simple tricks and the science behind them that can help you look more awake, alert, and alive:

·         You need to reduce the puffiness around your eyes. You can do this by applying a cold compress. Use ice, cucumbers, cold spoon.

·        Prep your face! This is a step many makeup wearers do normally anyways but it is especially important to hiding a hangover! Moisturise, and then apply MUA Pro primer, £4. This will help your foundation to stay put and prevent it from feathering or sinking in to wrinkles. A good primer makes the world of difference in keeping your makeup looking fresh throughout the day without having to do touch ups!

·         Next, you will want to even out your skin tone and apply a matte foundation, £2 as you normally would.

·         Now to bring some colour into your face, use a blusher, £1 that is a little brighter than what you would usually wear. Usually, we would take the blush from the apples of your cheeks, up into your temples but for hangover or tiredness disguising purposes, apply it to your apples only.

·         One of the most important steps! Get rid of those bags under your eyes! To do this, use MUA Professional brush on concealer pen, £2 which hides imperfections to create the perfect canvas for a natural, seamless finish!

·         When applying eye makeup, skip anything with shimmer, which will highlight wrinkles and fine lines. Stick with matte shadows, preferably light browns and natural colours, which will cover up redness on your eyes and prevent them from looking sunken in. Darker colours often create the illusion of sunken in eyes, which can be great for a sexy, smoky look. I recommend using glamour days palette which has a range of matte colours, £4.

·         The final step is your mascara; chose a volume formula which will really help to open up your eyes.
