Television is a glorious thing… up until you realise that you’ve been watching Quantico till 4:00 am and you have an early morning meeting tomorrow! Last week we showed you 5 skincare products that deliver instant results, but what happens if your binge session turns into an impromptu sleepover at your bestie’s? Since we rarely carry around our face masks in our totes, we found 5 amazing makeup products that make you look less tired – all in a few minutes. And yes, these are way easier to apply rather than blending in a concealer while you are still zoned out!

1.     MAC Lipstick In ‘Ruby Woo’

Red lipstick has a way of making anyone look more put together instantly. MAC’s classic lipstick is a shade that flatters every complexion, and manages to draw all the attention away from your dark circles. Swipe on two coats for maximum impact.

2.     Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil In ‘Lucky’

Cat eyes and winged lines? Ain’t nobody got the energy for that! Although people rave about lining your lower rim with white liner, we find that the contrast looks a bit too much. For a more natural look, use a shimmery copper shade like this one to open up your eyes.

3.     Lakme Eyeconic Curling Mascara

Jet black mascara really shows off the whites of your eyes… but at this stage, you need more! A curling mascara like Lakme’s makes you look more awake, and gives you thick, fluttery lashes.

4.     Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm In ‘Amp’d Up Apple’

A healthy flush can take you from dull to dazzling! Clinique’s stick format makes it easy to add colour to your cheeks (even while you are commuting!), while the creamy formula blends seamlessly into skin.

5.     Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Highlighter

Dewy skin always looks fresh and young. Dot on this miracle highlighter atop your cheekbones, chin and down the bridge of your nose for a pretty, luminous effect.

With these products in your bag, it’s practically guaranteed that you will look flawless in no time! Try them out and let us know your thoughts.
