The Moisture-Boosting Mist for Parched Skin
Beauty Product: Murad Hydrating Toner, $27

Nothing feels worse than parched, tight skin when you roll out of bed. This hydrating toner gives dull, lackluster complexions an instant reboot. A few easy sprays is all you need to moisturize and balance your skin. Vitamins C and E protect against free radicals.

A Foundation to Conquer Red and Dull Complexions
Beauty Product: Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm, $34

This BB Cream covers so many bases on rushed mornings. It evens out skin tone, has anti-aging skincare ingredients and offers SPF 20 protection. Another great bonus: it won't melt off your face by hour four like most beauty balms.

A Mascara for Wide-Awake Eyes
Beauty Product: Benefit Roller Lash, $24

Nothing opens up tired eyes more than mascara. We love this new mascara from Benefit that curls and lengthens lashes beyond belief. You'll look fresh and doe-eyed, and don't even need to use an eyelash curler beforehand. The formula holds the curl for 12 hours and moisturizes your lashes with vitamin B5.



I don't care how many hours of sleep I get the night before or how many cups of coffee I guzzle, it's just not in my DNA. Whether I roll out of bed at 5 a.m. to make an early flight or sleep in until 11, I always wake up looking like an extra from "The Walking Dead."

See our favorite products that will make you look like a morning person.

Truly, it's not a pretty picture. I used to stare in wonder as my college roommate would stagger in to our dorm room after an all-night study session and then wake up the next morning, Disney princess-style, not a hair out of place.

And there I was. Groggy and red-eyed, walking out the door forgetting that I still had my silk sleep mask pushed up against my forehead.

Now, I've accepted that I may never feel bright-eyed and bushy-tailed before noon. But as I've gotten older, I've discovered there are some miracle products out there that can help me fake it. So I'm counting down my all-time favorites that enable me to look like a morning person -- even if I am still part-zombie.

From under eye-concealers to dry shampoo, these instantly make me look like I'm back to the land of the living.
