How do you disguise an all-nighter?

Oh boys, what a festive time it was yesterday. Oh dear, how terrible I feel today. As if those few glasses of wine make a difference. No, I'm not sharp anymore after a few sips. I move trembling and stumbling to my medicine cabinet and then to the freezer. Why, I'll tell you in a moment. Today we are just going to work, and with these tricks, we will look as fresh as the entire Dolce & Gabbana summer collection.

Drink water and take a paracetamol

I don't mean du moment, okay? Shame on you. You should have walked to the tap with your drunk face last night and put your mouth under it for at least half a minute. If you had also tossed in two paracetamol, you would already feel a lot less miserable. Anyway, I didn't do that either, so pop in two tablets.

Frozen spoon

If you don't have that standard in the freezer, you will start doing that from now on. The frozen spoon helps reduce the swelling of your bags under the eyes, we know that. But the cold from that thing also gives you goosebumps, and that makes you more awake.

Dry shampoo

The thought of moving your arms up and down to wash your hair already makes you cringe. Still, you have to sit cheerfully at your desk in ten minutes, so what to do with those disgusting greasy strands on your head? Exactly, you're going to spray them nicely with dry shampoo. It also masks that cigarette-beer smell that is wafting from your hair.

Concealer

Now more than ever, you will need concealer. Please don't forget to apply a generous amount above your eyes. After a night of drinking, I always have red-rimmed eyes with remarkably visible veins (both in and around my eye). Not pretty.

Colored lips

You probably don't look very fresh at the moment. Your eyes are more closed than open. This will surely go away within a few hours, but for now, we need to distract attention. We do this by applying a nice bright lip gloss. Especially no lipstick, because that dries out your puffy mouth (alcohol draws moisture).

Peppermint

Now that we have tidied ourselves up and also have to make a very social chat at the coffee machine, it must not happen that your alcohol breath ruins everything. To avoid questions like ‘Wow, what did you get up to yesterday?’ we chew sweet peppermint all day long.
