5 clever ways to disguise morning-after skin
Follow our 5 sneaky beauty tricks to revive and brighten skin (so no one will be any the wiser if you've had a late night!)
Get chilled
De-puff skin with a cold compress to get accumulated fluid moving - just soak a flannel in cold water with a few ice cubes thrown in. A couple of spoons chilled in the freezer and held over eyes works wonders at reviving tired skin too.

Remove dull skin with an exfoliater
Exfoliating pads are infused with mild acids and are a quick way to keep your complexion bright and luminous and, we think, more effective than grainy scrubs. Try Radical Skincare Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads, £45, with fruit acids.

Add a pop of colour
Coral lipstick has a brightening effect on all skintones. If you're scared it's looking too bright, pat the colour down with your finger for a more subtle stain. We like Clinique's Long Last Lipstick in Runway Coral, £17.50.

Even out skintone
For instant improvement, try the extraordinary Dior Capture Totale Dreamskin, £79. Your complexion will look more even and luminous, though matt. Use it after moisturiser or instead of if your skin isn't dry and you may be able to skip foundation. Longer term, it works on redness, dark spots and large pores.
