looking better in the mornings
16/f. I'm a pretty healthy girl..I eat normally, my weight is fine for my age (136 pounds..although this info might not be needed :P)
But what bothers me is that when I wake up in the mornings, no matter HOW much sleep I get (I could get 10 hours..which is what I've gotten for the whole summer now!)..I still have eyebags..and my eyes are squinty like..and my face is pale...and overall, I just look blegh. It takes about a good 3 hours for me to look like myself...and makeup doesn't help much. Does anyone have any tips on looking 'pretty' in the morning? Like when school starts...it'd be a nightmare looking like I do sometimes :P
I also drink a lot of water throughout the day, could this be the reason for the eyebags and exhausted look? I don't look refreshed..I look exhausted =\

Your eyes being "squinty like" is probably because they are puffy and this could be because you have to much sodium in your diet.
Sodium (salt) causes your body to retain water if eaten in excess, so just make sure you're not eating too much salt during the day...
Also, right when you get up, splash some cold water on your face and dab your eyes with it. I find it refreshing, and it wakes me up quickly.

well, the best thing to do is at night elevate your head, (put two pillows under your head) that way the fluids under your eyes dont stay there.
also the night before freeze two spoons, or (one of those gel masks from walmart )and place on eyes for about 2 min, that should get the puffiness down.
try getting some eye cream that helps with dark circles, lots of brands have them, and the prices range from $3-$100 or more, but a good one wont be too expensive. maybe 6 dollars.
then in the morning wash your face (after the eye mask or the spoons) pat it dry and apply eye cream, wait til dry then apply concealer in dots around the orbital of your eye. dot it on dont rub in. then put a light powder on top to seal the concealer.
some other good tricks to make your eyes seem bright
- use white eyeliner on the bottom lid of your eye, be very careful doing this.
- use a shimmery skin color shadow (about one shade lighter than your skin color) and apply it to the inner corners of your eyes. blend well.
------for your face
wash your face with a cleanser that has menthol or alpha beta hydroxy in it. neutrogena deep clean has it in it and it really helps your complexion (i love it i use it all the time.)
and the night before try using a scrub, (make sure the particles are man made, apricot scrub and other "seed" scrubs can damage your skin) using a scrub can get rid of all that old skin and show the new beautiful skin. so your face will be bright not dull.
good luck =]
