1/10
Mix eye cream into your concealer
Mix a drop of your eye cream in your concealer. Often too thick, texture marks fine lines around the eyes. Eye cream will fill wrinkles and concealer will brighten the shadows. Finish by bringing some light touches to internal and external corners of the eye with a corrector pen.
2/10
Wear a red lip
Dare to wear a beautiful red lip with a red slightly orange tone if possible. This colour will revitalize your face and attract attention - the good kind. And above all, smile!
3/10
Ditch the foundation and go for blush
Stop layers of foundation from accumulating on your skin. Instead, adopt a blush in shades of pink for a fresh, natural and coming-from-within glow.
4/10
Decompress those eyebags
Place a spoon in the refrigerator before you go to bed. The next morning, place it on your eyes to relieve any congestion. Alternatively, soak two cotton pads with thermal water and leave on for 5-10 minutes over your eyes.

Layer moisturising products for a better complexion
Think serum before cream. These are radiance boosters and provide hydration which smoothes out lines and stimulates blood microcirculation.
6/10
Mask it up in the morning
Put on a moisturising mask on your eyes (or face) while you're having breakfast. Guaranteed effects will show throughout the day.
7/10
Shiny hair will make you look brighter
Opt for an ultra-shiny hairstyle. Shiny hair brings light to your face and will get you plenty of good looks.
8/10
Avoid sugar and high-GI foods
Avoid consuming too much sugar or foods with high glycemic index (white bread, dough, rice, sodas...). Glycation, a biochemical phenomenon triggered by sugar, accelerates skin aging.
9/10
Quit smoking
Say goodbye to smoking. Besides being a danger to your health, the ugly habit will tarnish your complexion.
10/10
Eat (naturally) colourful
Eat colourful to boost your tan by stimulating melanin naturally. Carrot, apricot, melon and sweet potato, for example, all contain beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, which in addition to activating the synthesis of melanin, protects the skin against sun damage.

Fatigue will not get the best of you! Say goodbye to dark circles through these small simple tricks.

Lack of sunlight, your return after a long flight, long days at work, hours in transit, sleepless nights… Well, two months away from the end of the year, and you’re tired. This is normal! And we will not be deterred.

Sometimes just changing some details in your daily life (such as eating less sugar) or adopting small gestures that change everything (applying a serum, eating more carrots) will help to display a better look. And whoever looks good, can say bye bye to fatigue. Follow the guide above to show up anywhere (and anytime) at your best.
