Hello lovelies!

The time is now upon us…Finals time!
I know, I know, I don’t want to talk about it either. I also do not want to wake up and get all dolled up to take a test. But for the sake of everyone around me, I use a few products to make me look a bit more alive during test time.

Step one: Use a moisturizer!
It’s cold this time of year no matter where you are, and a moisturizer will help to keep your skin looking a bit more healthy and awake!

No foundation…not a problem!
Seems weird, right? If you really feel as though you need a full coverage product, try a bb cream, or something with hydrating properties to help keep your skin from looking cakey!

Step two: Use a “wake up” concealer.
Try “wake me up” concealer by Rimmel. It’s from the drugstore, so it’s totally affordable, yet it has the quality of extremely high end brands! Use a bit under the eyes to help hide those dark study circles, and on any blemish you may have. Blend with clean fingers for the best result.

Step 3: Ready, Set, Go!
I set my concealer with my holy grail powder, also by Rimmel. It’s called Stay Matte and it comes in a variety of shades. It is the BEST setting powder I’ve ever used, and I’ve used it for years. Add a bit of bronzer to your contour zones (aka, temples, cheekbones, jawline, down the nose) and a pinky peach blush, and you’re ready to go!

This is simple!
Don’t waste time filling your face with heavy products when you can be using that extra time to review your notes in the morning!

What makeup do you wear to class, if any at all?

Until next time!
