History Main / WakeUpMakeup

* ''Series/TheMarvelousMrsMaisel'': Invoked. Midge waits until her husband falls asleep then puts on some exfoliating cream and goes back to bed. Then, she wakes up before him, puts on her makeup, and pretends to sleep through the alarm so that she can look perfect the second he wakes up. She spends a somewhat disturbing amount of time on her appearance in general; she also takes her measurements every single day to make sure she's not getting flabby anywhere.

* Completely averted in the videos of Creator/TessMasazza’s Italian Webseries ''Insopportabilmente donna'', that show how bad a makeup becomes after a good night sleep and, more generally, that any makeup can be ruined by accidents such as rain, crying too much watching a Trope/ChickFlick, etc. In [[https://youtu.be/4R5omAmh_YM?t=94 another video]], [[ParodiedTrope parodying (among others) romantic movies]], this trope is then mercilessly poked fun at: [[Creator/TessMasazza Tess]] wakes up way before her man so that she can go through her Trop/MorningRoutine and be in perfect conditions when he wakes up and look at her.

* Characters in ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' don't ''ever'' take off their makeup. Only one character appears sans makeup, and only for a few seconds, in a MakeupMontage. We see Jem trying taking a nap while still in her makeup and has perfect hairr. Admittedly, in her case it's a hologram but Jerrica is still wearing makeup underneath that.

* Parodied in an [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86aVzMJQV64 advertisement for Superdrug]], in which the typically messy-looking couple each get out of bed and brush their teeth, do their hair and makeup etc. then returning back to bed when the other is not looking.[[/folder]]

* ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'' does this inconsistently; on occasion, when getting up in the middle of the night to prank Yuuichi, Makoto will have her hair ribbons on. Akiko always seems to have her hair braided, sometimes ridiculously so, as well, regardless of the late hour.

* When ''Series/{{LazyTown}}'' character Stephanie is seen in the morning in a few episodes, she's not only got perfect hair, she slept in her headband (presumably because the headband is actually part of the wig), and she's wearing pink dance tights under her nightdress. An interesting, gender-swapped version is that villain Robbie Rotten wears obvious eye make-up, yet it is consistently perfect when he is seen waking. Hero Sportacus's clearly waxed pencil mustache is also always perfect upon waking.

%%* VideoGame/TheSims,

* Played straight in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' - in "The Terror Within", Asami shows up to the fight with the Red Lotus looking as made-up as ever despite it being the middle of the night.
** Considering that Asami goes ''swimming'' more than once without so much as smearing her trademark lilac eyeshadow—other characters who wear makeup are seen either entirely without it ([[ColdSniper P'Li]]) or with it [[YourMakeupIsRunning visibly running]] ([[{{Yandere}} Eska]]) at some point—[[{{Fanon}} a certain percentage of the fandom is convinced]] that it's ''tattooed'' on.

When a TV character wakes up in the morning, he or she is almost always impeccably groomed. You never see [[MessyHair bed-head]], stubbly beards, or crusty eyes unless it's a story point, and even then it's usually just to emphasize either a late night drinking with friends, or a new baby that's making a lot of demands. But very often, women arise from eight hours' sleep with perfect makeup, without even a small smudge. In short, NotAMorningPerson definitely does not apply.

This has become a DiscreditedTrope, but it's still played straight in far too many shows. In animation this is usually due to a {{Lazy Artist}}'s LimitedWardrobe extending to hair and makeup. Compare MorningRoutine, where adding makeup/beautifying oneself will be shown.

* In ''Brothers & Sisters'', Kitty is once shown having just woken up. Her hair and make-up is not only perfect- she's wearing earrings.

%%* ''SoulCalibur''. In the 16th century, no less.

* Hilariously inverted in ''{{Disney/Frozen}}'', where we are treated to the sight of Anna waking up on Elsa's coronation day with a ridiculous bedhead that looks like it's gone through a tornado, is drooling out one side of her mouth, and is nibbling on a lock of hair with the other.

* The title character's eye makeup is utterly unsmudged the morning after her sister and brother-in-law put her to bed following her FreakOut in ''Film/MarthaMarcyMayMarlene''

* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'' Memorably averted in the episode ''The Model School Teacher''. The catty female reporter is pleased to see Miss Brooks unmade up, so she could portray her as poorly as possible.

* [[Film/JamesBond Bond girls]] are famous for this. Not only do they wake up the morning after an ''active'' night in bed with James with flawless make-up but their hair is unmussed ''and'' they are wearing all their jewelry.
