Making a positive first impression, especially those who are starting their first year at a new school, could be nerve wrecking. You want to look healthy, refreshed and not trying too hard. The key is to use nude colors that goes well with your skin tone, then subtlety add pinks and light coral colors to accentuate your features.
Prep your skin
Summer cookouts and trips to the beach does a number on your skin. If you have been outdoor a lot, treat your skin to a moisturizing facial or a clay mask before your first day to school. Homemade facials such as avocado or honey oatmeal masks are very easy to make.
Groom your eyebrows
Big bold brows are in. But eyebrow shaping is still necessary if you want your eyebrows to look great or on fleek. Carefully pluck away obvious strays and hair between eyebrows to keep the uni-brow at bay with a slanted brow tweezers. If some hair are extending beyond your desired eyebrow shape, trim the hair rather then plucking them. This will keep brows looking full and not patchy.
Keep it light
Heavily caked on foundation doesn't look good on anyone. Opt for tinted moisturizers or BB creams, which gives a lighter coverage and resulting in a more natural look. If a foundation or mineral makeup is still your preference, buff a small amount on your skin with a foundation brush or a kabuki brush. Makeup brushes will better blend the product seamlessly into the skin.
Play up the eyes
For daytime, keep eye-shadow color light or forgo eye shadow altogether. Instead, focus on the lashes which will open up your eyes. If necessary, brush lashes with a spoolie and make sure lashes at the end is not stuck at the corners of your eyes before curling lashes. Apply mascara and comb through the lashes with a lash comb. A metal eyelash comb would be best to properly declump, as well as separately each lash for maximum fullness.
Carry blotting sheets
Instead of layering powder throughout the day, use blotting sheets to soak up oils on your t-zone. Your skin will look dewy instead of cakey.
