5 ways to hide the signs of a rough weekend

And nobody at the office will know

Had a rough weekend and are you struggling to keep your eyes open? Or just suffering from a major off day? Not to worry, it’s nothing that can’t be masked. Just make your eyes look three times as big (so no one sees the bags under your eyes), smear concealer around it and blush and put some color on your lips. Nobody will notice. And those eyes of yours can be transformed in less than a minute. Hello, extra sleep.

1. White eye pencil. Even though it stems back from 2009, using a light color still works. You can make it more 2016 approved by using a nice gold or beige line. It’s a little softer, more now and compliments every eye. And the line doesn’t have to be thick, you know. Just keep it subtle.

2. Be careful with mascara. Don’t put it on your bottom lashes, because it can really highlight your massive under-eye bags.

3. If you want to use mascara anyway, it’s best to use a dark brown or dark grey one. It gives you a softer look than when you use jet black mascara.

4. Still want to fake it without using mascara? Apply a dark line of eyeliner in between your lashes. It will give you lashes an extended look without having to wear mascara. And choose a dark purple or brown eyeliner instead of black. Purple gives it an edge without it looking to heavy on the eyes and brown gives it a very natural yet pretty effect.

5. You can create a very quick eye makeup look by adding on some eye pencil in your inner eye corners. You do this by drawing it on in the shape of a hashtag. Then, you blend it in with a brush and this will emphasize your eyes. They will look a lot bigger and it will bring out the color of your eyes even more.
