After a shocking night's sleep, do you look a trifle vampiric come morning? wink Puffy eyes, dark rings, wan complexion? Aside from matchsticks to prop the eyelids open, what beauty products help? Do you have an under-eye concealer you swear by? Cucumber on the eyelids? A triple layer of foundation? Bronzer? What’s your go-to product for tricking the world into thinking you’ve had your full quota of shut-eye?

It's been so long since I had a good night's sleep I don't think anything really makes me look glowing and rested in the morning - I used to just wash my face with a gentle soap and cold water, pat dry with a towel (or dry flannel) and put light, natural colour make-up on (little bit of eyeshadow, tiny touch of blusher or bronzing pearls and lipstick) - mascara always enhances the eyes

I would recommend the Benefit concealer which is great for dark shadows. Although a bit pricier than other brands, it lasts for ages.

I just use Clinique’s Concealer to hide the ever-present bags under my eyes!

I just splash my face with cold cold water first thing, which seems to help. Then concealer as normal.

Bare Minerals Well Rested eye powder is pretty good

I'm not sure there is a trick. Just remember to smile! You always look better smiling even if not well rested.

This was recommended to me by my sister and at only £5 is just the bees knees for me - True Nutra Effects Radiance Tinted Moisturiser, it moisturises and adds some colour to my face so I love this. (Good old Avon)

Foundation, blusher and of course a bit of lippy

I love to use Clarins blue orchid treatment oil, and it's always on my Christmas and birthday wish list, so I always have a bottle on the go, it really does seem to make the fine lines lessen and gives my skin a glow.
