The easiest cleansing solution for a rushed morning? Makeup wipes. We love these ones by Korres because they are formulated without harsh chemicals, and are full of antioxidants. Made for oily and combination skin, these cleansing wipes eliminate impurities and tighten pores with pomegranate. Fresh skin has never been so easy.

A Blush That Gives You a Fresh-Faced Glow
Beauty Product: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush, $35

This blush is the perfect combination of a highlight and color. We love the natural radiance this gives skin; it's like an Instagram filter you can walk around with. The gold packaging will definitely lift your weary spirits. Our favorite shade: Vibrant Poppy, because it perks up sallow complexions on even the roughest mornings.

A Tinted Balm to Rehab Ragged Lips
Beauty Product: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15, $22.50

Ragged morning lips only add to a zombie-esque appearance. This lip savior was a 2014 TotalBeauty.com Awards Readers' Choice Winner, and for good reason. The tinted version (we love Sugar Passion) imparts a fresh dewy color, while bestowing tons of moisture. This treatment heals even the most chapped lips. Added SPF sweetens the deal.

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.



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.
