I like the ideas. Will try next time I am sick, especially when going to work.

Dry shampoo and a lot of concealer help a lot! A bit of highlighter can help with give a healthy glow back to your skin.

I was sick for most of February and oh so grateful for dry shampoo. I use the Pssst! brand.

I love the dry shampoo. I hate putting makeup on when I have fever. Is there a foundation that doesn't lock in the heat.

I want to try the dry shampoo

Also, let's not forget eye drops! Less a cosmetic than a medicine, Refresh Optive Advanced is still my go-to when I'm feeling crummy and looking worse. They brighten my eyes and refresh me in short order.
