How to look less tired using makeup. Don't go in with thick layers of foundation and concealer as it looks heavy and does not look good. Go with a light layer of under eye concealer with a radiant finish and skin loving ingredients. Go for a dewy finish foundation choosing a radiant, dewy base rather than matte coverage can help your skin look instantly more awake. Cream blush will also look more dewy and radiant. As with the eyes avoid dark colours like black eyeliner and dark eye shadows. Go for pastel shades and neutrals for a softer, glowing look.
