5 product perk up

Waking up in the morning feeling tired, unmotivated and lacking enthusiasm can often reflect in the way you look. A simple few products that take minutes to apply, can often be more effective than piling on the concealer to disguise discolouration. Whilst not only helping your appearance seems fresher and brighter, you can often feel more awake with these few tips.

A highlighting concealer always helps brighten the skin and lighten up any darkness. The Garnier Roll-on Anti dark circles Concealer(long name I know!) creates the appearance of fresher and brighter skin, without being heavy or overdone. The sheer formula is easy to blend and melts seamlessly into the skin, leaving no trace of makeup. The cold metal roller ball is refreshing, depuffing and soothing to the skin.

For an all- in- one highlight and blush, try the Bourjois powder blush in 'Golden Rose'. It’s a bright, warm pink with a subtle sheen running through it. Your cheeks are instantly injected with a healthy, lit from within glow and boost.

An inner corner highlight attracts light to the eye, making them seem bigger and brighter. The Boots 17 eye dazzle pigment in ‘Star Crossed’ is a sparkly silver shadow that can be amped up for a dramatic look or lightly applied. This can also be blended across the lid for a healthy sheen. Add a light layer of Barry M's Extra Volume black mascara to frame and open up the eyes.

Leaving the lips feeling moisturised and soft, a tinted lipbalm soothes the skin and leaves lips looking naturally healthy. The Benefit Posiebalm is the perfect product for this as it gives a slight tint of colour and long lasting hydration. It also feels very luxury and high quality.

A fresh perfume not only leaves you feeling beautiful and awake, but smelling great too. The Marc Jacobs Daisy Delight perfume and Chloe Love Story are fabulous fragrances that are perfect for this time of year. Compared, the Chloe is slightly muskier and the Delight is sweeter and more floral. Both however, emit elegance and the high end quality of the product ensures it lasts for hours on the skin.

To stay hydrated, try ice cold water but with a slight twist. Add a fresh lemon or lime for a zesty kick and something different. It’s super refreshing and clears any morning grogginess.

So whether you’ve been up watching movies, partying or just feeling down in the morning, these few simple steps hopefully make your morning a little more enjoyable.
