Back 2 School Make Up Tips!

 



  When returning back to school for most girls we want to look our best- or at least better then last year. That means from head to toe a whole new you. A more exciting, fun and popular persona is the overall style most are going for. For that senior girl coming into high school for the last year or that collage beauty making her stride as she moves closer toward her degree, your focal point is the face and it MUST be on point! With that said 1stClassLadies are going to give you tips and tricks for not over doing the makeup and keeping the face fresh!
 

 
Your skin comes first. Before you worry about your shadows, glosses, and other beauty products you need to take care of your skin first. High school and collage student no all to well about acne, scars, blackheads and other irritabilities that the face can produce. Make sure to invest in a daily cleaner along with a mask you can use twice out the week. You want to make sure that you keep the skin as clean as possible. Not doing so can cause oil build up which helps cause pimples and such. Also be mindful of what you eat and drink as that also plays a part in skin care. Make sure to keep the face moisturized as the season changes from summer to fall and you want to keep it protected.
 
Your going to learn at school not work at the circus. Yes school is a place of education for you to learn and make something of yourself. Just because it is a place of serious business does not mean you can't look your best. There is no reason you can't apply a bit of makeup to the face creating a clean and soft look to enhance your beauty. This doesn't mean you need to show up looking  like a clown. The last thing you want to do is go OVER the top. Leave the deep contour, blue eye shadow and extra red lipstick for the night life. Settle for a more toned down look that states you want to look your best and do you best at the same time. Fill in your brows if that's your thing and substitute the your favorite color eye shadows out for either a neutral  color or just some eyeliner.
 

 No lashes for school but a good mascara will do. Apply a generous amount to both your bottom and top lashes so this way it gives the illusion that you have on falsies without the time and energy it takes to apply them. Trade out the lipstick for a nice soft lip gloss and remember to moisturize your lips  before apply a gloss so that the gloss doesn't give you the white line and make your lips dry once it fades ( regardless to what you hear ALL glosses at some point fade.) Instead of a foundation try utilizing tinted BB cream. It gives the face the same flawless glowing look that foundation does just not as heavy. If you want to add a little color to the face a soft pink or peach to the face is ok to apply with a light hand. You DO NOT want to apply it heavy for school. Concealer is good to apply but only to the places that need to be covered. There is no need to highlight but if you want to wake up the eyes a bit, be mindful of how much is applied and how bright your highlight is.

Whatever you decide this school year make sure to look & do your best!! 1stClassLadies have a few videos below to help with some looks for the upcoming school year.
