Exfoliate well to give yourself a fresher look, pop something nice and cool like cucumber slices on your eyes and non greasy pile cream to reduce any bags.

Clarins Beauty Flash balm is fantastic, makes such a difference to your skin!

Get a nice blusher to give yourself a rosy glow and you can use white liner under your eyes to make them look more wide awake. Eyedrops are good too!

Concentrate on nice shiny lipgloss in a nude fresh colour on your lips to make them more noticeable and draw more attention than the rest of you.

You can also use 'By Terry' light-expert foundation as it is very thin on the skin. It uses light reflective technology (starting to sound like an advert) instead of merely layering on foundation, in order to make you radiate(!).

I have it and it is amazing, however very expensive at �38 for 17ml. I would definitely buy it again.

www.byterry.com or at spacenk.

Alternatively use very cold water in the morning to wash your face and a cooling moisturiser (maybe even something like the body shop seaweed moisturiser).

Jenna's suggestions should work too.

stating the obvious, dont have late nights on a school night, lots of sleep, drink lots of water and eat healthily should do it.

i know you will probably be revolted by this suggestion but my friend swears by haemmoroid cream which does actually reduce the puffiness around her eyes. also place two metal teaspoons in the fridge before you go to bed at night and place these over your eyes in the morning for 5-10mins. the coldness of the metal reduces the inflammation of the eye area leaving your eyes feeling refreshed and banishes the big dark circles back to where they belong. i use the teaspoon trick after a night on the town if i am working the next morning. my granny first taught me that handy little trick even though i wont actually admit to her that her tip works. i thought it was just another random granny tale
