I am 18 although I look so much younger than my age (like maybe 14). But sometimes when I look at myself at the mirror, I looked tired. My face looks dull and I have terrible dark circles. I use the Revlon Age Defying Spa concealer on my undereye area and it brightens (I like it) but it doesn't cover the circles completely. Do you know any good drugstore correctors or concealers? Also, what makeup should I apply to make myself look more awake? I prefer a natural look (I only fill in my brows, put mascara and blush). Sorry this is such a long question. :))

You should look for a foundation with a more dewy finish instead of a matte finish. Revlon Photo Ready foundation has a nice glowy/dewy finish to it because it has a slight shimmer to it. The Maybelline Instant Age rewind concealer/brightener is good for brightening up your dark colors and concealing them. Also, look for a drugstore highlighting powder to apply in your inner corners and on top of your cheekbones and down your nose. I don't know of any drugstore ones (my favorite is MAC's soft and gentle) but you could even find an eyeshadow to use as a highlight for your face.

First off, are you getting enough sleep at the right times? It's best to work on your skin from the inside out :) Secondly, I am on the hunt for a new eye cream myself, but the Skyn Iceland eye cream works really well (i've only ever seen one from their brand). Try to use an under eye concealer specifically for brightening... I like the brand "The Balm" myself. Good luck!
