Keep a pack of makeup remover pads in your makeup bag.  Clean up the area around your eyes, which tends to show the signs of wear first.

3.  Get lifted.

Re-line your eyes with a metallic liquid liner.  Smudge a bit of shadow into the line to and blend out to your crease for smoky drama.   For added definition, line lower rim of eyes yes too and remember to smudge with your shadow.  The bond of powder to the wax in your liner makes it last a bit longer.  Touch up mascara.  Add a sheer highlight to brow bone.
