Without makeup, my freckles are more prominent and my eyes look a bit more tired. But it's the lack of color in my face that disappoints me the most -- I need a little blush to look alive. If I cared about being rosy-cheeked while I sleep (sorry husband of seven years, but I don't), I'd dab on some Tata Harper Volumizing Lip and Cheek Tint, $35. It's a sheer cream blush that feels almost serum-like because it's made with skin-plumping Spanish lavender and lipoamino acids. It's designed to bring volume and lift back to the cheeks in a way that's similar to injectable fillers. (For a sheer wash of color, pick the Very Charming shade; for a more noticeable flush, opt for Very Naughty.)

Charlotte Tilbury Filmstars on the Go, $55, is a duo with similarly impressive skin care benefits. The cheek and lip color contains a moisturizing berry complex that increases your skin's natural hyaluronic acid production. Meanwhile, the highlighting cream, which you can use on cheekbones and eyelids, is packed with anti-aging apricot seed oil. Dab on a little of both shades for a look that's so ethereal and pretty, it's practically cherubic.

Disclaimer: Sleeping in eye makeup -- any kind of eye makeup -- will probably earn you a scolding from your ophthalmologist. However, there are some formulas that do more than just let you create the perfect cat eye. They hydrate and protect your lids and even promote healthy lash growth.

Sisley Phyto-Twist Eye, $50, is a chubby liner and shadow crayon that contains green tea and camellia extract for moisture and antioxidant protection. Similarly, Grande Naturals GrandeLiner, $44.95, is made with a lash-boosting complex that will make your lashes grow longer and thicker in just four to six weeks. The formula is also waterproof -- once it dries, you can forget about it -- which makes taking it off at the end of the day even easier to avoid.
