#1 Wake up call
Use a brightening corrector like the BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector, $45, on the under-eye area will instantly perk up tired peepers and help you look more awake. To take the brightening effect even further, dab it on the inner corner of your eyes on the centre of the eyelids to give the appearance of bigger eyes.

#2 Drain toxins
If your face is feeling a little puffy after a late night out, try a facial massage to clear the lymph nodes and get rid of water retention. A face roller like the ReFa Carat Ray, $359, improves circulation while gently lifting skin to give you a firmer and more defined jawline.

#3 SOS Mask
All out of facial masks? Try saturating a compressed sheet mask like the MUJI Face Lotion Sheet pack of 5, $1.60, with your favourite lotion or watery essence and putting it on for about 10 minutes to revivie skin before you put on makeup. Foundation will instantly melt into skin to give you a dewy glow – even if you only had four hours of sleep. Word of caution though: do not use lotions that are alcohol based or they will dry up your skin instead.

#4 Pamper the pout
The first area that will suffer the effects of dehydration is often the lips. Exfoliate away dry flakes with a gentle lip scrub before applying a thick coat of the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask, $27, so that you can wake up to soft, kissable puckers.

#5 Quickie facial

In just 20 minutes (they also offer a 30-minute version if you have more time to spare), you can restore hydration with a three-step skincare program customised to your skin type and needs.
