FOTD/EOTD: Fresh-face look for insomniacs (like me!)

as you all know, i don't get to sleep a lot most especially on weekdays. i have this (severe) case of insomnia that i'll stay awake until 3-4am and get up around 7am to get ready for work. most of the time, my skin's gets so dull and tired-looking, and it's quite a challenge to keep myself looking fresh and look like i've slept a lot.
on most days of the week, i try to keep my makeup at a minimum and stay away from dark shades of eye shadows to look more awake (of course, Friday is an exception ^_^).

MAC Swish (lid), Espresso (crease)

In2it waterproof eyeliner

MAC eyeliner in Fascinating (water lines)

Maybelline Magnum Volume Express mascara

MAC eyebrow liner in Lingering

to look fresh, shades of pink are my best bet :) i added brown eyeshadow to give my eyes some definition.

Smashbox Photofinish primer in green

Avon Ideal Shade foundation in Nude

Shu Uemura loose powder

MAC blush in Tippy

Cinemasecrets concealer

MAC Peachstock

Chanel Rouge lipgloss in Insolence

the white liner on the water lines helps in making the eyes look more awake, you can also dab shimmery pigment on the inner corners of the eyes...i've been doing this more often nowadays and it really works! now i rarely get the comment, "you didn't get to sleep again much, no!?"

at midday, when my face gets a bit oily and well, signs of fatigue is slowly showing up...i re-apply my blush, loose powder and lipgloss then spritz my entire face with Evian. i also re-apply my white eyeliner.

so there. i hope i was able to pull off the Fresh-faced look.. but of course, it's still better to have at least 8hrs of sleep everyday. you can fake a fresh face, but i'm sure it would be a lot harder to keep yourself awake at work all day.

tata!
