I'm one of those people that claims she has "no time to sleep" and to be honest....i really don't that much. I probably get 4-6 hours a night.

MY TIPS TO LOOK AWAKE:
-Sleep with a cold mask on
-Hydrating concealer under eyes (Dior Hydrating concealer) set with brightening orange tinted concealer (Abbott's Perk Me Up by Everyday Minerals).
-Using a shimmering highlight shade on the inner corners of my eyes.

What do YOU do to look awake?

I use highlighter in the inner corners of my eye, as they're the darkest part. Skincare wise, I'll always keep my cucumber eye gel in the fridge, it's nice and refreshing in the morning :)

Also, a weird beauty tip: Cut two slices of a raw potato and put them over your eyes, like you would with cucumbers. Potatoes actually work better! They sort out puffy eyes and discolouration (only temporarily though - it's just a potato! xD)

I keep a Clinique all about eye roller ball in the fridge and give a quick swipe when I'm feeling and looking tired, it is so refreshing! I also like to put used teabags in the fridge for half an hour and then lie back for 5 minutes with them on, my eye area always seems fresher and more perkier after :)

honestly, i average about four hours a night (often less - yay for single motherhood, right?). the most important thing is to really take care of your skin so that it doesn't show the sleep deprivation. aside from that, it's eyelash curler - mascara (i forget the name of the one i'm using at the moment. it's drugstore, pink tube, hint of silver shimmer) - blush/bronzer (Smashbox Baked Stardust) - lip gloss (Urban Decay Lip Love)

Visine. So much visine. My eyes get so red so quickly. I also use the garnier under eye dark circle roller along with my foundation routine, and I love using refreshing and setting sprays, especially after having them in the fridge for a while on a hot day. So good <3

I am an expert in this! lol. I work hellish shifts at my office, and sometimes I won't get to bed until like 6 or 7 in the morning, and have to turn around and be up at like 11 or 12. I just go heavy on the moisturizer and eye creams. With makeup, I use a moisturizing conealer that is orange-based for my eyes (Almay Wake-Up), and I just use very little foundation or concealer on the rest of my face to even it out. Lining only the outer corner of your waterline to make your eyes brighter also helps. Add like a nice warm bronzer or blush to give you some color, and voila! 9 hours of sleep = P

I don't get much sleep either. I try to drink lots of water, which helps keep my eyes and skin from feeling dry and crusty as the day goes on. A nice, light, foundation or tinted moisturiser to stave off the inevitable blotchiness. A highlighter at the inner corners of my eyes. A good liquid or cream blush to keep me from looking washed out.

I think the best thing is to keep hydrated. Oh, and to keep eyedrops with you at all times. My eyes get so dry after a day with no sleep.
