No Sleep? How to Fake It
Whether your slumber deficit is thanks to a 2 a.m. feeding or an all-night rager, as it is for the celebrities Roncal works with, the result is the same: pale, poofed-out skin with dark blotches. Below, Roncal's tried-and-true tricks:
Look Bright-Eyed Using a soft, white liner, gently trace the inner corner of your eye. Then, using a pale shimmer shadow, soften that "V" and extend it a bit toward the inner part of the bridge of your nose. You'll lighten up the eye area and draw attention away from dark circles.
Hide The Evidence There are four spots (aside from under your eyes) where concealer can do a sleepy face a world of good, according to Roncal: the sides of your nose (next to your eyes, where concealer can lend extra brightening) and the outer corners of your eyes, nostrils, and mouth (three prime locations for sleep deprivation-induced darkness). "At the outer corners of your eyes in particular, even a little extra pigmentation can make your lids appear to sag," she says. Dab away in good light with your ring finger, and blend well.
Brush Up "Nothing darkens and closes your eyes like droopy brows with hairs pointing downward," says Roncal. Brush in a brow gel-upward, of course -- and lighten and lift the brow bone with a subtle, pale shimmer shadow. Avoid a high-shine frost. It not only screams "I love the eighties" but highlights every flaw and follicle.
Double-duty items can be time- and hassle-savers for moms -- except when they stink, in which case, they are double the frustration. Voila! Five that won't waste your money.
3 Things You Can Literally Do in Your Sleep
Make every precious minute of snooze time count even more.
Give Your Hair Waves This trick works best for medium-to-thick hair that's somewhere between straight and wavy, but can also help boost body in fine hair or curly hair that's been blown out. Before bed, brush (dry) hair and secure it on top of your head with the scrunchie that's been banished to bathroom-drawer purgatory since back when Jon-Bon was shot through the heart and you were to blame. (Don't use a rubber band, which would leave a mark.) If you have fine hair, says Toye, use a bit of volumizer at the roots before putting it up. Wrap the ponytail around the base, and tuck the ends into the fabric. Then simply release the ponytail when you wake up, tousle, and enjoy your lovely, loose waves or fuller-than-usual body.
Wash Your Hair Or create the illusion that you did: Spray or shake some dry shampoo into your roots.
Soften Your Feet Every night for a week, right before bed, slather on a salicylic acid- and/or urea-rich lotion, then pull on a pair of cotton socks. You'll gradually slough off the rough spots (the salicylic acid and urea dissolve the dead skin) and leave the fresh skin moisturized, says Dr. Day.
Kiss Magic Shine File If you have the rare adult interaction to look forward to and your nails are a mess, skip the polish altogether and try a buffer, which has all you need in one tool. After quickly shaping the edges of your nails with a file, use the light-gray side (and a continuous, steady motion) to remove any discoloration and ridges from the nail surface in about ten strokes, says Michele Pierno, a nail pro and Kiss spokesperson. Then repeat with the white side, but with increased speed and friction, to bring out the glossiest possible finish. ***Edited for length- The full article, along with product suggestions can be found at the below link.
