EYE DROPS

Brighten up tired, puffy, and bloodshot peepers with some eye drops. Even if you don’t feel wide awake, you’ll sure look it!

MAKE-UP

Erase any further evidence of  your sleep deprivation (ie. dark circles under eyes) with concealer. You’ll also probably be as white as an A4 sheet, so add a (faux) glow with some bronzing powder – it’s a great mood-booster too. Avoid the “too done” look by skipping the lipstick and opting for gloss instead.

NEAT HAIR 

No time for a wash or brush-through? Wrap on a headscarf or put your hair into a high ponytail for an instant fix. Extra points for a leave-in conditioner to revitalise locks while you work.

MINTS

Fresh breath is a must any day but especially when you’ve been gulping down mojitos all weekend! Then you can chat to your colleagues – minus the stinky evidence – about what you, um, didn’t get up to.

ENERGISERS AND MOOD-LIFTERS 

One word: vitamins (we dig a daily dose of C and echinacea, to fight cold and flu symptoms). For an instant lift, have an energy drink (hello, Red Bull!) or try a fatigue-fighting tablet, like Hairy Lemon, to get you through your day.
