Yes, it is that time of year again.... Back to school. If your like me, you may like school for the social aspect... and the fashion and beauty aspect, or you may genuinely like the academic part of it. Either way, it is always nice to have a fresh makeup look that you can easily slap on, and that won't make you feel rushed.
Face:
1. Start with a nice primer, try and pick one that is silicone free, but still controls oil, and if you have larger pores like myself, fills in those too. Jessie's Picks: Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer, this one is nice for when it is still hot outside somedays but cooler other days.
2. If you can, and feel comfortable, try wearing just concealer. Pat it onto any blemishes, dark spots, red spots, and under your eyes to help you look awake. Jessie's Picks: Mac Studio Finish Concealer. CoverGirl and Olay Coverstick.
3. OPTIONAL: If you still want more coverage, or want to wear foundation and no concealer, pick a light foundation that has a medium to buildable coverage. Jessie's Picks: Clinique Even Better Foundation, when I wear this I find I don't need concealer. Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation.
4. Powder your face. Pretty self-explanatory. Jessie's Picks: Covergirl Pressed Powder, Avon Ideal Flawless Pressed Powder.
5. Apply a plum/mauve coloured blush to your cheek bones only, this will sculpt your face and the colour will show off your tan. Even if you didn't tan, plum and mauve suit almost every skin tone. Jessie's Picks: Nyx blush in mauve, Clinique Blushing Blush Powder Blush in Bashful Plum
6. Tightline your upper lashline, and smudge a kohl pencil into your lashes. You can use whatever colour you feel most comfortable with, brown, grey, or black. Line your bottom waterline with a nude or white eyeliner. Jessie's Picks: Make Up For Ever Kohl Pencil in black. L'Oreal Kohl Pencil in black/brown.
7. Curl your lashes.
8. Apply 2 coats of a volumizing mascara in either a dark brown if you are a blonde or a red head, or in black if you are a brunette. Jessie's Picks: Benefit BadGal Lash Mascara. Covergirl LashBlast Volumizing mascara (the orange tube).
9. Apply a tinted lipbalm. Jessie's Picks: Revlon LipButter in Strawberry Shortcake, Creme Brule, or Sugar Plum. Revlon Lip Balm Stain in Honey or Cherish.
