4 Genius Makeup Hacks That'll Hide Your Hangover

Have you ever woken up after a night of drinking, looked at yourself in the mirror and thought, "I can't show my face in public today?" Girl, we know the feeling.

So you decided to party a little too hard last night. Instead of reliving your favorite memories, you're left nursing a killer hangover. Slaying your competition at beer pong seemed like a really good idea at the time. Until you realize that no rose bush was left unharmed.

Yeah, that probably wasn't your greatest moment. There are many things alcohol is not good for. Among them: your liver, your head, and perhaps most importantly… your reflection?

While waking up with a fresh set of dark circles, red skin and a throbbing headache (basically looking like death warmed over) wasn't a part of your plan, there's still time for you to put on your best face. 

Being a makeup pro definitely isn't necessary to fake your way to an energetic face. In fact, with these quick beauty hacks, you'll totally fool your drinking pals.

Makeup blogger Christina Farrell has got you covered. (Literally.) She stresses that focusing on looking refreshed, rather than like a makeup goddess, is super important and way more realistic.

Christina says "You want to look awake, bright and cheerful. You don't want how you feel on the inside to reflect how you look on the outside."

Yes, it really is THAT easy. Here's a hint. Christina mentions that one of the most vital steps you should concentrate on is using products that'll erase evidence of the night before. For starters, rejuvenating moisturizers and bright blush sets will basically become your best friends.

With the right tools, you'll look and feel better in no time.
