For when you’re hungover
So you had way too much fun patying in Valkyrie last night and now you look like death? That's because alcohol dehydrates the skin and will leave it extremely parched, dull, and tired. When you wake up after a solid #yolo night, drink lots of water to make up for the liquids you lost.

The fix: Keep things simple. Go for a lightweight tinted moisturizer or CC cream and smooth it all over your face. Next, dust on a highlighter onto the high points of your face—like under your eyebrow arches, along the bridge of your nose, and your cheek bones. Curl your lashes and put on a few coats of mascara to open up your eyes. Finish off by lining your inner lower lash line with a nude or white pencil. Now no one has to know you had one too many vodka shots last night. #winning
For when you’re sick AF
It’s flu season and you have fallen victim to it. Now what?

The fix: Give yourself a break and ditch makeup completely. When you’re sick and you still insist on wearing makeup, you run the risk of transferring nasty bacteria onto your products. Yikes.
Instead, focus on keeping your skin hydrated. Slather on a light moisturizer and sunscreen before leaving the house. When your skin feels dry midday, spritz on facial spray. Put on a hydrating facial mask to lock in extra moisture before you sleep at night.
For when you just broke up with your boyfriend
Bagong break?

The fix: Rock a sexy smoky eye because you mean business! Swipe on a taupe eye shadow onto your lids and then pick up a blending brush to add in a deep brown color to your crease. Take your look up a notch by blending in an even darker brown on the outer-v of your lids. Finish the look by lining your upper lash line with a dark blue eyeliner. For your lower lash line, dip your liner brush into your deep brown eye shadow and line only the outer third of your lashes. Put on at least two coats of mascara on your curled lashes, swipe on a sexy nude lip, and you’re good to go.
