1. Skin
We will start with the skin, as it is the first to show signs of tiredness. There are a few key things to keep in mind for glowing skin.
Use multitasking products

So, your morning routine should start with a mild cleanser and exfoliation. The cleanser and exfoliator will work together to cleanse your skin and remove dead skin cells, oils, and dirt from the pillowcase.
Use ice or tea bags
You should use ice or tea bags to diminish the effects of an extremely tired look and sleepless nights. For instance, you can put ice cubes in puffy parts of your face. You can even side an ice cube all over your face; it will have a plumping effect. If your eyes are red and puffy, you should put camomile tea bags over your eyes and let them sit for a few minutes. It will refresh your eyes and make them look awake.
Wake up with ready brows and lashes
One of the best things the modern age offers us and what women are crazy about is the possibility to wake up with ready brows and eyelashes. Brows are an essential part of our face – they shape our face. However, a small number of people have brows that they are satisfied with. Luckily for us who aren’t satisfied and who need to spend 10 minutes every morning drawing the brows, there are better, more permanent solutions. You can get an eyebrow tattoo and wake up with perfect brows every morning. Additionally, you can get lash extensions, which require a refill every three to four weeks and have beautiful, voluminous lashes as well. With these two treatments, you can save a lot of time in your morning getting-ready routine.

Apply a pink or peachy blush
Blush gives colour to our face, which helps with the tired look. The best shades to go for are either pink or peachy, which work best for most complexions. Apply it in soft strokes on the upper cheekbones.
Use brighter shades of lipsticks
Another makeup hack to brighten your face is to use a brighter shade of lipstick. It can be nude, soft pink or soft peach. Lipstick adds colour to your lips and face and works great as a face refresher. If you use a matt one, it won’t move from your lips. You can top it with clear lipgloss for a glam effect.
