Bloodshot eyes? Ghostly complexion? Witchy locks? Here's how to fix your beauty frights 

Never mind Halloween, the cold weather and lack of sleep in the hectic run-up to Christmas can be the stuff of nightmares – even with the best-laid beauty plans.
Red eyes, smudged make-up and a pallid complexion are obviously great if you’re out trick-or-treating, but not so good if you’re on a night out and want to look your best.
Thankfully, these beauty mares don’t have to last, because we’ve come to the rescue with some easy ‘tricks’ to make you look a ‘treat’!
<h2>Red eyes</h2>
Red eyes are often caused by tiredness, which can easily happen when you’ve been burning the midnight oil...

<h2>Zombie-esque make-up</h2>
We all know what it’s like to only have five minutes to apply make-up. A rush job can lead to smudged eyeliner and mascara, leaving you looking like a zombie by the end of the night.

Add lashings of <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/mascara/george-pool-party-waterproof-mascara-black/1000006616684" target="_blank">George Pool Party Mascara</a>, before closing your eyes and double-setting everything with <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/primer/rimmel-insta-fix-go-2-in-1-primer-setting-spray/910002958650" target="_blank">Rimmel Insta Fix &amp; Go 2 in 1 Primer &amp; Setting Spray</a>.

Before applying any moisturiser, treat your skin to just a pea-sized amount of <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/facial-moisturiser/nspa-radiant-flash-serum/1000000987027" target="_blank">nspa</a><a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/facial-moisturiser/nspa-radiant-flash-serum/1000000987027" target="_blank"> Radiant Flash Serum</a> – it’ll give you a gorgeous glow. Finally, sweep a fine layer of <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/primer/george-matte-primer/1000001204104" target="_blank">George Illuminating Primer</a>, underneath your base.
<h2>Witchy hair</h2>
Undone, textured hair can look super-sultry. However, full-on frizz whipped up by gale-force winds is a definite no-no. Luckily, there are easy ways to tame those troublesome tresses, whatever the problem.
