Fake to look awake – How to hide the lack of sleep

There are many reasons why you are looking tired and worn out, the most fun being a weekend spend with friends, partying all night and catching up until the early mornings.

Less fun, but more common are deadlines at work, late-night studying for your exam or, in my case, a newborn.

Now the best thing you can do is obviously get some rest, but in case you have to be somewhere and need to at least look like you slept more than three hours straight, makeup is your best friend.
