We often find it difficult to get out of our cozy bed in the morning. On these days, of course, we don't want to look dull and crumpled. Our quick pick-me-up tricks and make-up tricks are just what you need!
A cool freshness kick: perks you up in the morning
Cool tip for beautiful skin! Nothing wakes us up as quickly and effectively as a splash of cool water. To do this, put a few ice cubes in a large bowl of water and immerse your face for a few seconds. The sudden cold stimulus stimulates blood circulation in the skin and makes your cheeks glow. Puffiness around the eyes can also be reduced in this way. Cooling gel pads also support the effect. Apply under the eyes for ten minutes in the morning.
Gentle exfoliation: for a radiant complexion
Reveal new skin: Especially in winter, the complexion looks tired even with enough sleep. Instead of looking plump and rosy, it looks pale. Temperatures are to blame for this so-called gray haze. When the thermometer drops, sebum production is slowed down. This makes the skin rougher and tiny flakes of dryness are deposited on its surface. They make the complexion look dull and gray in the light. A powder-based enzyme peeling provides a remedy. Once a week, lather up half a teaspoon with water and apply to a damp face. Wash off after two minutes and apply cream to the skin.
Shiny tip for beautiful skin: highlighter conjures up freshness
Cheating is allowed for beautiful skin on the face: shimmering highlighter in gold or mother-of-pearl (in perfumeries) is an absolute all-rounder when it comes to looking healthy and rested in seconds. A touch on the cheekbones and forehead gives the skin a healthy glow first thing in the morning. A few dabs in the inner corner of the eye and below the brow bone will give your eyes a well-rested sparkle. It's important to always blend the delicate shimmer accents thoroughly into the skin. Otherwise it will quickly look unnatural.
Accentuate eyelashes: Instant effect for awake eyes
A shout out to the classic: Mascara is a must for a well-rested look. It coats the fine lash hairs with its color pigments and gives them more curl and fullness. This opens up the eyes and makes the eye area look more awake and alert. First shape the lashes with eyelash curlers, then apply two thin coats of black or brown mascara.
A concealer works wonders
Dark shadows under the eyes can be concealed with an opaque concealer. To do this, apply a touch of color with the brush as an inverted triangle under the eye area and gently tap in with your ring finger. Don't forget the outer corner. This is where the skin tends to be reddened and look tired.
Shimmer eyelids open up the gaze
Lighter eyeshadows with a slight glossy effect visually enlarge the eyes and make us look fitter and more radiant, even after a short night out. Make up the inner corner in a lighter shade than the crease and outer corner. Then blend the two colors together.
Cool blush gives freshness
Nothing gives the skin a healthy glow faster than a delicate dab of blush on the cheeks. Our tip for beautiful skin: Soft rosewood and pink nuances make the complexion look particularly crisp and blooming. Smile in the mirror, apply directly to the cheekbones with the brush and then blend gently.
