The Blush Trick That Can Help You Look WAY Less Tired

Feeling tired? And looking it? Well, get this – a study buy the Department of Psychology at Stockholm University found that sleep-deprived faces look sadder than well-rested ones. Okay, that’s pretty obvious. But what you didn’t know is that it’s apparently all down to the fact that your peepers droop more when sleep-starved.

Besides a cup of coffee, here’s a smart beauty tip to fake looking wide awake. Blushers with shimmer increase eye puffiness. Use a matte blusher instead. Apply to the sides of your face. If you apply under the eyes, it makes dark circles look bigger. Here are the top blushes to try right now.
