Classic: The Morning After...

I recently saw two movies where in very similar scenes, the main female characters get up early in the morning from a presumed hookup and sneak into the bathroom to brush their hair, apply some lip gloss and dab some toothpaste on their tongue before their bed buddies see them all "morning-like." I'm talking about the impossibly funny and amazing girl crush Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids and the equally adorable Anna Faris in the maybe not as awesome What's Your Number?

Why the insane morning rituals, ladies?!?

Am I crazy or do other Teases out there not think that morning is the sexiest time of day? I'm not kidding. I have always found early morning sunlight to be very flattering, not to mention the tousled hair, smudged eye liner, lightly flushed skin and bedroom eyes. A few days ago, I came across this beautiful photo of sex educator, performance artist and writer Chloe Camilla.

Now, how can anyone not find that sexy? Complete with coffee breath. It got me thinking about how to recreate this look without too much fuss. I think it all begins with the hair.

I absolutely love this Bumble & bumble Surf Spray. It provides the perfect amount of grit to create such an awesomely messy style. Just a couple of spritz then run your fingers through to create some separation. Definitely make sure to get a little at the roots so you have some great morning-after volume.

Next step is a great bedroom eye. Try Revlon's Luxurious Color Smoky Crayon. Jumbo eye pencils like this one are not meant to be exact. They are meant to be manipulated and smudged. So, take advantage! Use as much or as little as you want. Just remember whatever you wear the night before, you will be taking most of it off before you head to bed, except for that perfect little amount on your top lash line. That will help you create the smoldering look Ms. Chloe is sporting above. Speaking of removing makeup, for mornings when you want to look your sexiest, I recommend using good ole' Vaseline.

Not only does it leave a nice glow but it will also act as your lip balm, cuticle treatment and light moisturizer. Apply sparingly! You can always add more if needed. Now that your hair and face are in place (or more appropriately, out of place) concentrate on the rest of your skin. To make sure you wake up with kissably soft, bright skin, use a very light, non-greasy formula that does not have an overwhelming scent.

AVEENO's Stress Relief Moisturizing Lotion lasts for a long time and blends lavender and ylang-ylang oils for a calming scent. Perfect for bedtime lounging.

Now, considering all of the above, there is just one rule for looking amazing in the morning: Use all of these products THE NIGHT BEFORE. No waking up before the sun rises to "fix" anything. Hit that snooze button as many times as you need to, open your eyes to a new day, turn over to your honey in bed and smile. You look amazing just as you are in all your hot, sexy morning glory.

Sleep well, Teases.
