9 Easy Makeup Tricks to Look More Awake

A rosy-colored lip and cheek stain gives a natural-looking flush that pulls together the whole look. Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain ($30) works nicely as a double-duty product, and the color works for everyone. Dot it on the center of your cheeks with your fingers and blend outward to mimic a natural flush. Then apply to lips and top with a glossy balm once the stain has set. It will keep your lips comfortable, and the shine from the balm will add the appearance of fullness.
