- take a few really deep breaths
- blow your nose; do it again
- if you're wearing eye makeup (or we're wearing it) fold a piece of toilet paper in half and dab daintily (don't wipe) underneath your eyes.
if you aren't wearing makeup:
- run cold water, stick your fingers under the tap, then gently pat cold water underneath your eyes, where it's all puffy.
- splash some cold water on your wrists too, it helps, i don't know why.
- if you're about to walk into a room loaded with people, then pretend to sneeze really loudly. That way no one will think "Oh, she's been crying!" they'll think "Oh, she just sneezed. That's why her eyes are all red and her eyes are watering."
