Pampering: Make a Tired Face Look Beautiful Instantly!

Deadlines, carpools, trips to the grocery store because you are out of milk again- no wonder we all look less than perky now and then.But follow these few simple tricks and you will look like you've had eight hours of sleep and a massage!

Revitalize with veggies.
Place cold, sliced cucumbers under your eyes for 3-4 minutes to help close the pores and tighten the skin.

Make time for tea.
Chamomile tea bags soaked in cold water are great for reducing under eye puffiness. Place the tea bag under each eye for 10 minutes. Prepare by soaking several tea bags at a time and storing them in your refrigerator. When the first tea bags get warm after a few minutes on your face, simply replace them with fresh, cold ones from the frig.

Send under-eye shadows into hiding.
Concealer is our friend. Use a small make up brush with firm bristles and a cream concealer. Apply directly under the eye- at the inner and outside corners.
Then apply a bit of concealer to the inner sides of the nose- where the shadows are the darkest. You can apply all the way up to the inside corner of the eyes.

Add a little shimmer to wake up tired eyes.
Apply a small dot of silver, gold or pink powder eye shadow to the inner corner of the eye- right on the tear duct to give your eyes a glowing boost.

What do you do to pamper yourself when you are worn out?
