Simple Solution: Cover it up!

Let’s examine a few scenarios.

  • You get invited to a mid-week girls night out, and in addition to catching up on all of the latest gossip, there is a wine tasting… on the house.  The next day, 8 am makes it’s entrance with a sixth grade tuba player needing help making a “good sound”.
  • You just settle into bed and fall into that amazing deep sleep.  All of a sudden, noises from the baby monitor wake you up.  Toddler & Mommy bonding time has begun…at 5:45 am…on Saturday.
  • The doorbell rings, and better than Santa Claus, in walks a babysitter.  It is time for a long overdue date night with your Hubby, and you have 34.2 seconds to “freshen up” before it’s time to go.
  • It’s four o’clock in the afternoon, and the sixth middle school band class of the day is drawing to a close.  Hair has been fiddled with and eyes have been rubbed so many times that I the teacher looks like a boxer after a big defeat.

I’ll be honest.  The only defense against the Zombie look (it’s not the 80′s and I’m not shooting a Thriller video!) is concealer.  The small little container of goodness is my default beauty pick-me-up that never lets me down.

Even in a HUGE hurry, you can dab a little concealer under each eye, and instantly the bags and darks circles disappear are hidden.  My favorite is this one by MAC.
