How To Look Wide-Awake Without Makeup

how to look awake without makeup

Did you hit the snooze button one too many times this morning? Or have allergies left you looking like you just pulled an all-nighter? If you need to look awake STAT, get rid of those tired eyes in a flash with the help of one nifty beauty tool that's hiding in your makeup bag.

How To Look Awake

"There's more to do in a day than ever before, and we're all tired whether you have kids or not," says celebrity makeup artist (and new mom of three) Jamie Greenberg, who partnered with Zyrtec to share her tips on combating the dreaded "allergy face." Since time is of the essence and getting out of the house (or on a Zoom call!) not looking like a wreck is essential, put down your coffee (just for a bit) and pick up your eyelash curler (remember that tool?). "Hold it on your eye for a few seconds. It really opens up the eye," says Greenberg, who prefers her Shiseido Eyelash Curler ($23) since it's so skinny it fits almost any eye shape. "Then apply mascara, if you want, and head out."

If you're in need of a more polished look, pop an all-in-one eyeshadow palette in your purse for primping on-the-go. "Buy a compact that has everything in it, so you don't have to have 50 products in your bag," says Greenberg, who works with Kaley Cuoco. "My favorite is literally called Out the Door ($68) by Ever, and it includes everything like the steps and corresponding brushes. It's easy."

Have a few more minutes? Master one hairstyle. "For me, I blow dry my bangs, part my hair in the middle, and make two braids and pin them around my head like a crown braid," says Greenberg. "I get so many compliments, and it's the easiest one in the world."

August 14, 2024 — Lenny Kravitz Is Excited For Zoë's Wedding

Fans may be surprised to know Zoë Kravtiz and Channing Tatum didn't know each other before she shared her idea for Blink Twice. Spending time together snowballed into the romantic relationship they have today, but wedding bells aren't ringing soon. Though her dad, Lenny Kravitz announced he's excited for the couple's wedding (via Entertainment Tonight), Zoë admitted that she and Channing have talked about it "in passing," (via Esquire).

Also, you might want to erase the image of Zoë being a mother from your brain because she doesn't think she'll be taking on that role. It's something she used to be scared to admit, but feels more comfortable talking about these days (via Esquire).

"There’s a lot of pressure on women to have children, and there’s a feeling that if you don’t, you don’t have purpose here. But this movie, it feels like I gave birth," she said.

Multiple sources told People that Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz have split after three years together, and called off their wedding. "The split is amicable," one source says. "They realized they're at different stages in life." TMZ also confirmed the breakup.

“Wedding plans were looming, but neither of them were rushing to the altar,” a source told Us Weekly, adding that their relaxed mindset ended up putting "a lot of pressure" on them. “Ultimately once [Blink Twice] ended, they realized they were on different pages with what they wanted. It fizzled fast after their press tour wrapped.”

A Page Six source reaffirms that the relationship ended on good terms, and even says the couple has “been in touch” and has “no bad blood” between them. “There was no dramatic falling out between Channing and Zoë. They really just grew apart and decided it was best for them to go their separate ways,” they say. They "both handled the breakup very maturely [but] came to a mutual realization that they were better off friends than romantic partners.”

Despite the breakup, another Page Six source says that Zoë Kravitz had a blast at a Halloween party. “She was in a good mood and seemed really happy,” they say, remembering that she was “dancing all night and having cocktails...having a great time” and “was so cute and nice.”

A source later told People that Channing Tatum is "doing well" following their breakup, adding that "he's focused on a new movie project in [North Carolina.] And he's spending time with his daughter when he's off."
