Make-up is meant to hide the fact that you haven’t had more than a few hours sleep, not accentuate it.
Unfortunately, here are a few make-up mishaps that mums do that make them look tired rather than fresh and awake.
Using too much powder
Over-powdering tends to leave your skin looking older and tired. A light covering of translucent powder is enough to get rid of the dreaded shine.
Not applying moisturiser
Moisturising before you apply your foundation is the best way to avoid dull, tired, flaky skin. Remember to pick one up with an SPF.
Using the wrong colour concealer under your eyes
Whether it’s too dark or too light, the wrong concealer will make you look tired. Make sure you apply your make-up in a well lit room.
Not using a primer on your eyes
Primer under your eyes is a great way to stop dark colours from smudging underneath them. It also helps to keep make-up in place and hide undereye circles.
