what can I do?
I have a baby who is still breastfeeding through the night and Im working full time. I am decidedly looking older! I am 35 of course but ive never looked so old. What can I do to make my face look fresh and natural. Also I dont want to apply loads of foundation.

I can fully relate to this!! I am 38 and have a 5yr (just turned), 2yr and 16 month old. I always look tired, but I have a couple things that may help you.
For your eyes, make sure to ues a concealer, I think the yellow is the one that helps hide dark circles. Also, when applying eye makeup-use a white in the inner eye and under the brow bone. This helps you have a wide open-eyed look. When I first read this trick I thought "Yeah, right", but I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I don't use a heavy foundation and simply don't have a lot of time to put makeup on. I use a tinted moisturizer from Clinique. It has real good coverage and feels light. You may want to go to a cosmetic counter and get a makeover, they'll be able to suggest some great products that are perfect for you.
Good luck! Just remember that this shall pass and one day you will get enough sleep ha ha ha

thanks. I will try your tips. I understand the under the brow bone, I will try it, but what do you mean white in the inner eye? Do you mean just above the lash line? I will also look into a tinted moisturiser. I never thought about that. That will keep me moist and covered and save time:)
Thanks for your words of encouragement too!

By inner eye, I am referring to putting the shadow on the eye next to your nose, by the tear duct. Just swipe your brush from the upper lid down to the lower lid next to your nose (but not on your nose). I hope that makes sense,

I use a lot of those cloth masks. The cloth masks are full of serums. I will wear it for 20 minutes, my skin seems soften quite a bit and most importantly, I don't look that haggard anymore.
Many brands have those, i.e. Clinique, Origins, Neutrogena...etc. <removed>
Try them! I am sure you will like them.
