9 Easy Makeup Tricks to Look More Awake

A subtle glow instantly makes skin look refreshed. We aren't talking about strobing or looking like a disco ball but rather choosing a primer with some luminosity to it. Primers with a bit of light-reflecting shimmer create a lit-from-within glow, which instantly brightens up the face. Dull skin looks revived, and the primer creates a smooth canvas for the rest of your makeup. L'Oréal's Magic Lumi Primer ($13) and the Tom Ford Illuminating Primer ($74) are great options.
