Give yourself a hangover makeover this festive season

Hungover? Never…

Complexion

Late nights and too many drinks can cause us to lose that pre-party glow. The solution? Opting for a combination of blemish- busting and illuminating products. Begin with an anti-fatigue primer, which should soothe and brighten tired, dull skin. Simply smooth in with fingertips, and leave to absorb for a few minutes. Next, buff a serum-based foundation into skin, paying extra attention to the T-zone area. Looking a bit flat? Spray a hydrating mist to keep your complexion glowing all day long. Get spritz happy!

Eyes

Looking bright eyed will help you appear well rested – even if you’re anything but. An eye serum is a great place to start for disguising dark circles and puffiness. After cleansing, carefully press serum into skin using a gentle tapping motion. Ingredients such as retinol will get to work quickly, helping improve skin texture. Next, apply a concealer that contains pearly pigments to reflect light and create radiance. And don’t forget to pack on the mascara – just a few sweeps will open up the eyes, allowing you to cheat that wide-awake look.

Lips

A plumped-up pout will instantly reinvigorate your look. Firstly, massage in a lip scrub to remove any dead skin. Lanolips is great because it contains lanolin, a substance that mimics skin oils to restore moisture. Next, use a skin-toned liner to define the natural shape of your lips. Apply in feathery strokes to ensure a soft, natural line. A no-needles, plump pout will also aid youthfulness, so to finish, apply a few layers of Buxom’s Lip Balm for seriously smooch-worthy lips.
