  • Partying a little too much this holiday season? Whether it's too many cocktails at the office party (an open bar is a beautiful/disastrous thing) or even just too many late nights wrapping presents and watching "White Christmas," now's not the time to showcase how tired/hungover you are.

  • With all the gatherings (and inevitable copious amounts of photos), you want to look bright-eyed and glowing -- and luckily you totally can. Just check out these tips below and no one will ever guess you nearly O.D.-ed on eggnog and peppermint schnapps the night before.

  • To get rid of icky bloodshot eyes:

  • Check out Visine's new Totality Multi-Symptom Eye Drops, $6.99. One drop and you can say goodbye to red, burning, itchy, gritty, dry and irritated eyes (not to mention people asking, "Are you OK?" -- ugh).

  • And just in case the eye drops don't completely do the trick, try dabbing some shimmery white eyeshadow in the inner corner of your eye, it makes the whites of your eyes look brighter.

  • Eyes so puffy you can barely see out of them? Try this:

  • One trick is to dip chamomile tea bags in cold water and chill them in the refrigerator. Once they're cool, place them over closed eyes for a few minutes.

  • Another option, if you're not into tea: a de-puffing eye cream, like Patricia Wexler MD Fastcription Instant De-Puff Eye Gel, $19.50 or Yes to Cucumbers Eye Love Cucumbers Soothing Eye Gel, $14.99.

  • If dark circles are making you look a little, um, dead, try this:

  • Use a concealer that is light reflective to add some luminescence and hide the shadows. Click here for more help battling these pesky circles.

  • Dry, dull skin cramping your style? Fix it, fast:

  • To get back your glow, use an exfoliating product and follow it up with a rich moisturizer. Use a tinted moisturizer or foundation with a dewy finish plus a highlighter and you'll be shining (in a good way) in no time. See what to use and how to use it here.
