Makeup Tips to Looking More Awake

Experts say the key to starting your day is to eat a well-balanced breakfast. It will give you energy for the rest of the day.

Well, let's be realistic. College doesn't always allow for students to follow the right measures in order to be energetic for the rest of the day.

Though, breakfast may not be in the time frame for students. Hopefully 5 minutes worth of makeup is. A way for you to look more awake (even though you may not feel it) is through your makeup.

The first thing you should do is to apply a good base through foundation. Apply a thin layer of foundation all over the face to insure a clear clean base.

The second step is to apply a highlighting color. This color should be off-white and shimmery. You need to apply this to:

•  the eyebrow bone
•  the inner tear ducts 
• on the side crease of the eye
• on top of the cheek bones
• down the top of the nose to the tip

The shimmer will reflect sunlight, opening up the face.

Lastly, apply a good coat of mascara and you’re out the door.

If you have an extra 3 mins, apply a rosy blush and a little winged eyeliner for a little spice.
