How To Look More Awake Using Makeup

Start off by applying your primer and foundation (if you wear it).
Now apply a concealer, about 2 shades lighter than your skin, under the eyes like so.
Add some powder to lock it in, and move onto the next step.
Now apply blush. Use a soft, natural color. If you aren't sure what suits your skin tone, use the chart above. Blush is going to give you a healthy glow on the cheeks, which will make you look more awake.
So at this time you should use bronzer, highlight, and any eyeshadow you use (this is optional if you don't wear these products).
Now before mascara or eyeliner, apply a light, shimmery eyeshadow to the inner corners of the eyes. This will open up the eyes and brighten them.
Finish off your eyes by doing your eyebrows, mascara, and eyeliner. Tip: If you wear eyeliner, do a thin line, nothing bold. Eyeliner tends to close the eyes and make them look smaller.
Now use a light wash of lip color. Using this guide, find a color that works well for you and apply this to the lips using a lipstick, lip tint, etc. Lip color makes you look much more put together, which will distract from the fact that you're tired.
