Hangover Make-up

Kolodny · 26-05-2006 10:46am #1

Hungover does not even begin to describe how I feel. Bumped into friends on the way home from work yesterday (4 glasses of red wine + no dinner = very sick Kolodny this morning). Pale skin, puffy eyes...couldn't have looked more rough tbh.

But never underestimate the power of make-up! Lashings of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, Clinique concealer and a sweep of No. 7 Bronzing powder and I even elicited a "you look lovely today" from the receptionist on the way to my desk! :eek:

So, does anyone have any other morning after tricks they'd like to share? It's (supposed to be) summer and I see a few late nights in my near future...

My best friend recently gave me the Dior airskin flash, it's literally foundation in a spray can, spray this on, a bit of mascara, a bit of blusher and vaseline for lips and smooth eyebrows and no one could even tell I was hungover well except for the fumes that knocked people out as I passed them.:p

I love my highbeam, I've had it quite a while now and it's indispensable at this stage.

White eyeliner top and bottom, though I've been meaning to get eye bright for a while. Curled eyelashes, clear/brown mascara for natural effect, and groomed eyebrows. Subtle pale eyeshadow just on the socket to give definition. Laura mercier primer under base. And vaseline for a natural gloss effect.

Panda, I covet your make up bag, I've also wanted ooh la lift for ages!
