Beauty tips to look wide awake (even when you’re not!)

Late nights getting the better of your beauty routine? Never fear, you can fake a wide-awake look by using this eye-opening makeup look.

- Apply a moisturising face mask before you apply your normal skincare. Leaving a mask on for even 5 minutes will make all the difference to your skin.

- Apply your regular foundation and conceal areas that need it.

- Use a palette with a light ivory eye shadow and a darker, milk chocolate one. Cover the whole lid with the light shade.

- Next define the crease with the darker shade. Only apply to the crease – stray and you’ll look tired.

- Finish the shadow by applying a wash of soft gold over the lid, up to the crease. Blend well.

- Use a pencil the same shade as your skin tone to line the top and bottom water lines. This will make your eyes look much bigger.

- Curl your lashes and apply two coats of mascara.

- Voila – morning, sleepy head!
