Besides sleep, I have found a new obsession! And, I'd have to say that lack of my first obsession is what lead me to my second obsession....CONCEALER!
I am 31 weeks pregnant this week and completely exhausted! Everyone is currently battling a cold in our house and sleep has been extra-limited of late- and for some reason (pregnancy, probably) the sleep I am getting, just doesn't feel as restful as it once did. Sad, but true. I wake up and my eyes look like I've been staring into the sun for hours- red, and dry, and puffy. Yuck!
So, a quick fix? Concealer! I know many women hate using it because it can look a little "pastey". First of all, make sure the concealer you're using is only one shade lighter than your skin-tone. Second, be sure to cleanse and moisturize properly. My third tip, is purely my own- I dab the concealer on (using the wand-type of concealer) to the areas I need to "brighten" and allow it to warm on my skin for a few seconds before I try to blend it. I find that this helps it blend more smoothly- thus avoiding the "pastey" look that can sometimes appear. It makes such a big difference- really!
So much so, that using concealer has gone from a "special occasions only" part of my routine to a DAILY part of my routine. Is it part of yours?
