All it takes is a little extra makeup to hide the signs of a bad cold. Brighten the inner corners of red eyes with a soft peach or champagne eye shadow. Use a pencil liner that matches your skin tone on the rim of your lower eyelid to hide redness and make your eyes look bigger.
Make your eyes look wide awake — even when they’re puffy, watery, and red — with a coat or two of waterproof mascara.
