When a TV character wakes up in the morning, he or she is almost always impeccably groomed. You never see 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, Not a Morning Person definitely does not apply.
Often, this trope extends to characters emerging from a shower, swimming pool or the sea... or even to women who have no access to cosmetics whatsoever.
This has become a Discredited Trope, but it's still played straight in far too many shows. In animation this is usually due to a Lazy Artist's Limited Wardrobe extending to hair and makeup. Compare Morning Routine, where adding makeup/beautifying oneself will be shown. Subtrope of Beauty Is Never Tarnished.
Characters who wake up after a night of heavy drinking with perfect makeup may also wake up with perfect, salon-coiffed hair.

Averted in Adventure Time, as Princess Bubblegum always gets bed-head when she wakes up or gets stressed over an experiment. Notable because her hair (and the rest of her) is made out of gum and probably shouldn't ruffle that much.

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.

On The Jetsons, Jane doesn't answer the video phone in the morning without her Latex Perfection "morning mask" that hides her sleepy features and hair curlers. She answers a call from her neighbor, who has the bad luck of having her own mask slip off a minute into the conversation. Jane remarks how embarrassing that must be for her.

Gilmore Girls:
Lorelai Gilmore is often seen waking up in bed with hair and makeup in perfect place. In one episode, Luke is grumbling about her being at the diner so early in the morning, and Lorelai responds that she doesn't understand how he can be so mean "when I only managed to line one of my eyes." She says this with both of her eyes lined.
Lampshaded/Subverted in an episode where a Girl Posse takes Rory and Paris from their houses in the middle of the night, with Paris remarking that Rory looked too good for someone that had just woken up. The subversion being that Rory knew they were coming so she prepped beforehand.
Also lampshaded in an episode soon after Suki and Jackson got married, when Suki says they both still try to get up and brush their teeth and fix their hair before the other gets up so they can pretend they just woke up that way.

The Charlie's Angels episode "Nicks and Tucks" has an extreme example. A plastic surgery patient spends most of the episode with her entire head wrapped in bandages. When the bandages come off, her hair has been brushed and blow dried, and she's wearing makeup.

Characters in Jem don't ever take off their makeup. Only one character (Roxy) appears sans makeup, and only for a few seconds, in a Makeover Montage. We even see Jem taking a nap while still in her makeup, and she also still has perfect hair. Admittedly, in her case it's a hologram, but Jerrica is still wearing makeup underneath that.
The Holograms and The Misfits have been stranded so long on an island that they have make grass skirts and the like, but their hair and makeup? Still in mint condition.

In one episode, we see the main characters all getting ready in the morning: Aang shaves his head, Sokka shaves his stubble, Katara pins up her hair, and Toph...does nothing at all (okay - she earthbends off some dirt and spits into the trash can).
On at least two occasions, Azula, the normally flawlessly made-up dragon queen, is shown without any makeup at all: once as she's trying to sleep, and again when she's having her hair done.

Lampshaded in The Nanny - Fran sleeps in make up an with hair done just in case there's ever a fire at the mansion so the firefighters won't forget her over the pretty, young, blonde heiress. Then made fun of when her mother simply wants to know if Fran didn't forget her gold earrings. However it still remains a mystery how Fran's make up has not the slightest smudge. Or how it doesn't even run in the bathtub or after a shower or any of the many big and minor catastrophes she encounters during the show.

Subverted for a small gag in The King of Queens. The B-plot of one episode revolves around Arthur trying to find someone he can pose with, for his photo Christmas greeting card. In the end he tricks Doug and Carrie into waking up and rising from their bed, just at the moment the camera shoots. The resulting photo shows a smiling Arthur, and Doug and Carrie with messy hair and groggy facial expressions.

Discussed and then parodied in Isn't It Romantic. While cynical Natalie lists all the things she finds ridiculous in rom-coms to her co-worker who adores these types of movies, one of them is that the female lead always wakes up "with perfect hair and makeup" — so of course, after she's knocked out and wakes up in a romantic comedy, her hair is perfectly styled along with her makeup being impeccable, fake lashes included. In a HOSPITAL, no less.

In Hannah Montana, Miley and Lilly always seem to get out of bed with eye makeup, mascara, foundation and lip gloss perfectly in place. They also wear jewelry while sleeping. Averted with Robbie — although never shown, he has a strict routine of grooming to always keep his hair looking nice.

Wonder Woman: Diana, either as Wonder Woman or Diana Prince, is always perfectly coiffed with immaculate makeup. For example, in "Death in Disguise", she is in bed and wakes up just before assassins break in and shoot her. Of course she is in full makeup and looks great.

Doctor Who:
The Fourth Doctor regenerates with tidy, wavy auburn hair. A look which lasts all of five seconds before he messes it up. Clearly to set up a solid rejection of the Third Doctor's prissy attitude.
Vira in "The Ark in Space" is revived after being a frozen corpse for millennia with some very 1975 light blue eyeshadow and absolutely solid helmet hair. Noah revives with his hair slicked back (the actor's natural hairstyle at the time, visible in rehearsal footage, had been Quirky Curls '70s Hair similar to Tom Baker's look).
"Rose" averts it: she wakes up the morning after meeting the Doctor bleary eyed and with terrible bed hair.
The Tenth Doctor regenerates with gelled hair — and, as he happily points out, sideburns (but no beard other than that).
"The Doctor's Daughter": The vat-grown soldier Jenny emerges from the creation machine with styled hair and noticeable eye makeup. Rule of Sexy and all that, with bonus points for being played by David Tennant's (then-future) wife. You can be sure that she was going to look her best on camera.
In "Let's Kill Hitler", River regenerates with makeup on, in a different style to how she'd been wearing it in her last body. Rule of Sexy again — the makeup is fairly similar to how she'd been wearing it in her last body and what looks good on a young black woman might not suit a middle-aged white woman.
"Twice Upon a Time": Downplayed but still present for the Twelfth Doctor's regeneration into the Thirteenth. The very first shot we see of her is a close-up of her eyes, and she's visibly wearing eyeliner and mascara despite having been Peter Capaldi just half a minute prior. "Revolution of the Daleks" finally settled the debate about Thirteen's natural hair color, meaning she regenerates into a blonde dye job as well.

Played straight in The Legend of Korra - 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 note  The only time she's never been seen without it during the show's run was a picture of her at 6-years-old—other characters who wear makeup are seen either entirely without it (P'Li) or with it visibly running (Eska) at some point—a certain percentage of the fandom is convinced that it's tattooed on.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: Invoked. Midge waits until her husband falls asleep then puts curlers in her hair, some exfoliating cream on her face and goes back to bed. Then, she wakes up before Joel, takes out the curlers, 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. It's shown later in season 1 that she picked this up from her mother. Even after breaking up with Joel, she continues to do this, as we see her applying exfoliating cream at least once while she and Susie are staying in motel rooms during their road trip tour in season 2 episode 8. In the season 2 finale, she arises from bed to discover that Benjamin is home and he admiringly asks if she always looks that good after waking up.

LazyTown:
When 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.

Vampire: The Requiem: Justified with the "Doll Face" Merit that vampire characters can gain. A vampire's body "resets" whenever it awakens; the Merit extends that power to affect their hair, makeup, and grooming as well. Whether this looks glamorous or uncanny depends on the vampire.
