By this point, we're well-versed in the perfect makeup for a night out on the town. So well-versed, in fact, that sometimes our nights get a little crazier than planned. That's great in the moment, but not so great the next morning when we have to go to brunch (or, ahem, our job). What in the world can we do to look alive when the night before is but a queasy blur? We were stumped, so we called in makeup artist/angel James Vincent to show us insider tricks for canceling out a hungover face. Check out the video, and learn with us.

00:00Hold on, I'm just going to, hair of the dog, hair of the dog my friends.
00:07Today we're going to learn hangover makeup.
00:15So it's been a big night out.
00:16Big night out.
00:17You hit it hard and heavy and now you're coming to me with booze in hand.
00:22I feel like crap.
00:22I would love to show you a few tips that you can use to beautify yourself for brunch or
00:27pull yourself together the next morning.
00:29I need a lot of help.
00:30All right.
00:31I'm going to start with a toner.
00:34Toning is essential for bringing the skin back to a pH level.
00:37It's a bactericide and it freshens the skin and this toner has herbs and rose water which
00:43are natural restoratives and you just want to.
00:47How lovely is that?
00:49It feels great.
00:50We're going to use a moisturizer.
00:52I'm applying it with my fingers and then for a post hangover day you want to heat it up
00:59on your hands and then just massage it right.
01:03And pay special attention to those areas especially when you're hormonal.
01:07That can get a little dry or dehydrated like around the nose and on the chin.
01:13And bring it right down onto the neck.
01:14My next trick is vitamin C.
01:18I really don't think I can eat anything right now.
01:20It's super restorative and we're using this topically.
01:23Oh.
01:23And I'm going to pay special attention in that delicate area under the eye and then
01:30right up towards the temple.
01:32And you're going to let that vitamin C set for a moment.
01:35Another great trick is using an under eye cream or treatment that has a little bit of
01:40menthol or peppermint in it.
01:41Because you can feel right away how that just massages into the skin and starts to wake you
01:47right up.
01:48My next trick is to use a balm.
01:50And this is a great way to remove dead skin.
01:52Put a little lip balm on your lips.
01:54Use a soft toothbrush to scrub it off.
01:56Then bring the balm back over to treat.
01:58But what a lot of people don't realize is you can also use that balm to lift the cheeks
02:03and eyes.
02:04I'm bringing it to the highest point of the cheekbone to bring a bit of glow.
02:09And I'm also going to take it right onto the eyelid.
02:12Our next step is to lighten the brows.
02:14And I'm using a blonde brow gel.
02:16Lightening the brows just lifts everything up.
02:19And filling in the brow is a great way to not worry about the rest of your makeup.
02:23You can fill in your brow, throw on a little gloss, maybe some mascara.
02:27And you're really good to go for the day.
02:30If you are going to use gloss, something with a blue base is going to whiten the teeth, whiten
02:35the eyes, lift everything right up so that you immediately look super awake.
02:42Curling your lashes is a great way to wake the eyes up.
02:47My last pro tip, blue eye drops.
02:49They are the celebrity makeup artist secret for taking the red right out, making your eye
02:54look really awake and getting everybody thinking you look great for the day.
02:58Like I never went out.
02:59Like you never went out.
03:00It's just magic.
03:01I think everybody knows.
03:02Well, I think we're ready to drink tonight because now we know how to look good tomorrow.
03:05I say we grab the eye drops, put them in our bag, grab our cup of joe, and let's go
03:11to brunch.
03:11Cheers.
03:12Cheers.
03:12Cheers.
03:13Cheers.
03:13Cheers.
03:13Cheers.
03:14Cheers.
03:15Cheers.
03:15Cheers.
