Back to School Makeup and Hair

It's that time of year again.....time for school supplies, getting up early, seeing your friends again and looking like a real live person 5 days a week. So I'm bringing you an easy makeup routine and hair that will let you sleep in a few minutes longer. 


This is all about products that will multi task, last and work fast. (hey that rhymed) So for this look I used Smashbox #shapematters palette for the face and eyes. You could also use it for brows but I used Benefit Gimme Brow Voluminizing Brow Gel. It's just quicker. For lips I used Sephora Collection Rouge Infusion in Peony which is #19 I think.


So with the eyes I kept it kinda neutral but with some color. It's a shimmery mauve pink and a deep eggplant color on the outer corner. Blended with a peachy color in the crease. No liner. Tons of mascara.


Brows I just swept Gimme Brow through, I made them kinda feathery though. I wanted a more natural unkempt look. 

For the face I used the contour powder for contour, bronzer for blush and glow for the highlight. I set my under eye area with the highlight (matte yellow) shade from the palette. My foundation is MUFE Ultra HD foundation. Your foundation, or bb cream will work just fine. 


Lips are a liquid lipstick that is actually more sheer and stays shinier. So it doesn't have the staying power of a matte liquid lipstick but it does stay on very well. The color is like a more intense color of my own lips which looks really nice. 


So this look is clean, fresh and a little smokey.

For the hair I found this on Pinterest. I do recommend using clear elastics or really really thin elastics for it. It was really easy and something different to try. It took me about 3 minutes, if that. 


So there ya go. If you have a setting spray then I recommend using it but if you don't want to that's fine too. Always have a sponge, brush or pouf  in your bag to buff out any creases or dab away any shine.
