The Eight Hour Sleep Face

Does anyone ever have their eight hour sleep? I personally can't even remember the last time I had mine. The late nights and early starts can end up leaving your skin looking a bit drab so over time I have perfected my eight hour sleep face illusion.

Before I even apply my make up on mornings which are particularly early and my complexion is showing the signs of it I love to use my Liz Earle Brightening mask. Although it is a mask I just massage it into my face for about five minutes and then remove it with a hot muslin cloth. This product is a bit of a miracle in a tube, hello bright glowy skin!

My next saviour in a jar is my Benefit It's Potent! brightening cream. This eye cream is amazing at banishing those dark circles and 'de-puffing' your eyes. Creating a flawless base is vital to give an illusion of 'a long sleep' face. I use Chanel Le Blanc De Chanel as mentioned in my previous review (here) as it is the perfect primer to create a glowy radiant complexion.

Choosing the right foundation for a radiant eight hour sleep complexion is key, you need something fairly dewy to give you the correct radiant look. I always opt for MAC mineralize moisture foundation as it completely smooths out your complexion and keeps your skin moisturised making it looking refreshed and radiant.

A brightening concealer is vital for completing this look as it will cover up any sign of tiredness. My favourite is Illamasqua skin base lift brightening concealer. I can't recommend this enough, it covers EVERYTHING. If the capitals weren't evident enough it really is a wonder product. Finally to finish the look is to use a super brightening highlighter, I love Benefit Watt's up for this. It's so concentrated it can make the dullest complexion look bright and perky. I apply it to my cheek bones, temples and under my brows.

What are your eight hour sleep face secrets?
