If you didn't get a full eight hours of shuteye last night (or any time in the last year, for that matter) at least you can look like you did. These five-second beauty tricks fake a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed look on the outside when you're feeling like the Cryptkeeper on the inside.Get nude: Using a flesh tone or white eye pencil on your lids creates the illusion of bright eyes.
Shine on, you crazy diamond: Shiny hair is key to looking fresh. Rinse your locks with apple cider vinegar in the shower, followed by a hit of cold water to seal the cuticle.
Spoon before work: Freeze a pair of spoons for a few minutes, then place them on your eyes to tighten skin that slackens when you're sleep-deprived.

Go navy: Blue mascara and eyeliner makes the whites of your eyes brighter.
Do the dew: Using a moisturizing foundation makes your skin look fresh (matte can age you).
Wacky Beds

You know what makes us sleepy? Boring art.

Convenient: a French-designed Murphy Bed that folds up into the ceiling over your sofa.
Less convenient: accidentally killing your guests with your poorly latched ceiling-bed.
Sure, this "Cloud Bed" is great for meditating alone in your weird, Second Life-y looking room. But if you try to have sex in it, you will probably carom through a wall and into a neighboring apartment.

What's creepier than a locking bed-cage? A bed-cage occupied by a come-hither George Lucas lookalike. (IT'S A TRAP!)
Perfect for post-orgy naps and sleepovers with the Beastie Boys.

So many nautical-sex jokes, so little time.
For the analog hobo in your life.

Glow the right way: Caffeine can give you a flushed look, so skip blush and opt for a shimmery bronzer instead.
Aim high: Pull your hair back into a high, tight ponytail for a mini, non-surgical face-lift.
Use an invigorating body scrub: Exfoliating stimulates blood flow, which will make you feel perkier. Pick one in an energy-boosting citrus scent like grapefruit.
