We’ve all been there. That ‘just one glass of wine!’ resolve gets eaten up faster than a tray of mini sausage canapés, and by morning you’re left feeling pretty ropey.
Help is at hand, as we’ve rounded up the products that will get you looking brighter and fresher, fast when you're battling a serious hangover (even if you don’t feel it).

These CC sticks are an easy way to get to grips with skin perfecting.
We love the highlighter and the under-eye corrector for quickly perking up our faces when it's feeling (and looking) less than fresh.

Feeling greasy and grubby does nothing to help a hangover, so the fastest route to feeling better is a shower and good, thorough cleanse.
We love this creamy, glow-boosting cleanser and mask, which brightens dull skin with vitamin C and salicylic acid. Massage it in and leave to work its magic while you brush your teeth.
Rapid Radiance Cleanse, £29, by Sarah Chapman
Dot and blend this creamy blush onto the widest part of your cheeks to bring a healthy flush back to skin – no matter how you’re feeling.
Cream blush, £7.99, by Bourjois
Slather a thick layer of this calming, soothing mask onto clean skin to give dehydrated skin a deep drink.
It’s packed with rosehip oil for a good dose of fatty acids, cucumber and honey to calm upset skin and turmeric and grapeseed extracts to fight free radical damage.
It can’t do anything for your headache, but it will help your skin look better.
Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask with Antioxidant Complex, £32.50, by Jurlique
If there's one thing can help make you look more awake, it’s curling your lashes and applying a lick of mascara.
But if eyelash curlers are beyond you right now (and we don’t blame you) the angled wand of Lancome’s latest mascara means you can push the formula right into lash roots for a lifted, wide-awake look – no curlers necessary.
Grandiose Mascara, £25, by Lancome
When your head feels hot, sore and, frankly, several sizes too small, reach for this minty little salve for instant relief.
Rubbed onto temples, across your forehead and the back of your neck, it’s cooling, calming and helps relieve aches whilst you wait for your painkillers to kick in.
Peace of Mind, £14, by Origins
Patted under eyes and onto spots, this brightening concealer brings radiance back when you just can’t be bothered to put on any base.
Un Cover-Up Concealer, £28 by RMS Beauty
Not just for travelling: this soothing and refreshing facial spritz is a great pick-me-up any time you need it.
