I am physically fit, exercise, eat right, and sleep well. Still people have commented that I look tired even when I am not. Is there a makeup secret to make me look more alert?

DO NOT PUT PREPARATION H ON YOUR FACE!!!!! It will clog your pores! There are a few things you can do, If they are just bags try Mary Kay's Soothing eye gel, it works wonders! If they are dark circles try some Concealer and a facial highlighting pen! The concealer will help cover it and the highlighting pen has light diffusers so it wont look as dark! Mary Kay's are the best that I've found!!

Use the tender pad of your ring finger to apply concealer just a shade or two lighter than the rest of your face below your eyes and do not draw a line completely along your lower lash line. Rather, stop the line from the outer corner to about the centre of your eye. Keep it thin and use a blending stick to smudge it into your lashline, as close to the eye as possible. Set by using a fine brush to apply an eyeshadow over the liner and with a sponge with moisturizer and the lighter concealer dab any eyeshadow dust from your undereyes. This generally brightens up any face to make you look more awake and alert. Curl your eyelashes, and if you like, apply 2-3 thin coats of mascara, separating the lashes between each coat.
For quick fixes and puffy bags under the eyes...Preparation H. It's fast, easy, but do NOT get that in your eyes...it STINGS! I used to model, and that's what my makeup artist used during longer shoots.

Try Benfit Cosmetics 'lemon-aid' or 'Eye bright', I personally use the Eye Bright and it works great to really open up your eyes and give, and reduce the tired look. I included the link below.

use concealer for under eye circles, curl your eyelashes and apply a couple of strokes of mascara and some rosy blush.
