Back to School Beauty Tips

Don't Cake it On

There is nothing worse than cake-face, and heavy foundations are the last thing you need to be concerned with when starting school. Sure, you might look bangin' during first period, but as the day goes on, chances are you'll start to melt, and wind up looking like a hot mess before you even make it to gym class. Instead, opt for lighter, oil-free foundation which will ensure that you look fresh all day. I am so not a fan of mineral makeup setall the time.

* Bonus Tip * If you are in a bind and all out of blotting sheets, book it to the nearest bathroom, rip a little piece off of a (clean) toilet seat cover and press it on your face. It does exactly the same thing, for free. I know ... it sounds really weird and gross, but it totally works!

2. Primers

Using makeup primers are great ways to ensure you are getting enough longevity out of your makeup. I use primers for brides religiously because I am not always able to stay and make sure the makeup looks flawless all day. If a crazy bridezilla can keep her makeup fresh all day, I guarantee that you can too! I love Smashbox Photofinish Primer 's, it is a staple in my makeup kit. They also make a "light" version that is not as greasy as the original. Laura Merciermakes a great face primer as well. For eyes, the swipe Urban Decay's Primer Potion on the eyelid before applying eyeshadow and it keeps the shadows from creasing all day.

3. dry hair looked like crap.

dry hair, brush it out and you can save yourself another day before washing. Use after gym, and your sweaty, limp hair color fade much quicker. Lather on a moisturizer after you get out of the shower. Even better if it contains SPF!

2. Switch to Gradual Self Tanners-

Once fall starts approaching, deep dark tans can scream fake. Switch to a gradual self tanner and control the color of your skin. Gradual tanners also tend to look more natural and give you a subtle glow.

Bronzer-3.

Brush a little bronzer over your face for instant sun-kissed beauty. When applying bronzer, I like to only hit the spots of the face where the sun would normally touch: forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Don't go overboard or you can easily look dirty, not sun-kissed.NARS Laguna bronzer I love but N.Y.C makes an amazing bronzer for ridiculously cheap (like under $ 4)! It's kind of an industry secret

Multitask-

Products with multiple purposes make my life a little easier, and I'm sure that you will be able to reap the same benefits! Add a little glow to your cheeks and your lips! These products do double duty, saving you some precious morning time.

Stila Convertible Color Lillium-: is a natural color that will brighten you up and give you a fresh look.

Nars The Multiple: These 12 amazing shades as well. They are a bit more expensive but SOO worth it.

Benefit Benetint-: Give your lips a rosy cheeks to stain and your sexy flush.

Fake It-

Chances are you've been sleeping in all summer. Getting back in the swing ofthings once school starts can definitely prove to be difficult. Follow these simple tricks to give yourself that well rested look, even though you feel like hell.

1. White/Nude eyeliner

Line the rim of your eyes with a white eyeliner and they instantly appear wider and brighter! If you're feeling that white is making you look a little dated, try nude. I love using a pencil on nude models and actors that didn't get much sleep the night before, and they love me for it!

Curl Your Eyelashes 2..

Using an eyelash curler can do wonders to make you look like you've got an easy 9 hours of sleep under your belt. Follow up with some mascara and you're good to go!

3. Put a Little Color On Your Cheeks.
