Not getting enough beauty sleep at night happens to all of us at one point or another. Whether it’s a stress-related issue or a late-night party, we’ve all been there. While it’s not ideal to have to try and function the next day on a few hours of sleep, you can definitely pull it off without looking too worse for wear. With a few skincare and makeup tips, you may even be able to revive your skin to its normal glow and look like you got a full night’s sleep.
