5. This is college, not project runway, tone down on the clown makeup.
Use your foundation and highlight your features but do not go overboard. There is no reason to spend 8 minutes perfecting a smokey eye. Use subtle and natural tints like gold, bronze, tan, maybe even copper if you feel the need to put on eyeshadow. BE EFFICIENT. Your early morning makeup is not the same as your club makeup. It shouldn’t take you more than 5-7 minutes to apply your makeup.
Tip: Do you want those baby blues or blazing browns to pop? Add white eyeshadow in the corner of your eye (by your nose) and directly underneath the waterline, but only apply to a quarter of the length of your eye. The white contrasts with the usual black eyeliner, making your eyes look more vibrant.
4. Choose a simple hairstyle.
Curling your hair every morning to show off that beautiful ombre isn’t worth ATTEMPTING to wake up at 6:00am Monday-Friday. Instead, choose a hairstyle that is easy to maintain. Keep your hair in control. Whether you want your hair short or long, choose something that takes you 5 minutes or less to style. Adding layers in your hair is simple and adds volume. Also, hunt down cute up-dos on Pinterest that only take you 5 minutes to create in case you grow tired of the same-old-same-old.
