STYLE FILE: BACK TO SCHOOL BEAUTY!

Hello Fashionistas!
It is that time again! As we bid farewell to summer and creep towards Fall, that only means one thing to many of you. Back to School! Long gone are the days of staying up late and sleeping in until noon. Welcoming back the days of the alarm clock and rolling out of bed, but rushing to get ready for school in a hurry does not mean that you have to put your style aside! Here is a quick 5 minute beauty routine to get all of you sassy school girls looking runway ready for school!



• Apply tinted moisturizer. This will even out your skin tone and keep you hydrated all day. Talk about one of my favorite multi-taskers and money savers.
• Apply concealer under eyes and on upper lid. Sweep concealer across any areas that need just a bit more coverage (breakouts, redness, etc..)
• Buff on a sheer powder (depending on the coverage you need: translucent for sheer coverage or a pressed full coverage powder for those of us that need a little more help)
• Add a highlighter eye shadow under your brow bone and in your tear duct.
• Apply a thin coat of eye liner on top lid (and rim the upper lid if you crave a little more drama. It sounds painful but trust me once you get used to it you will be all systems go!)
• Apply a generous coat of mascara
• Apply a lip and cheek stain (what, do I sense a multi-tasker again? Love it). I know when you hear stain you think dark...stains have come a long way baby...you can get them in nude, peach, pink...you name it!
• Top it off with a sheer gloss and call it a day!

Now, just add a touch of hairspray through your hair upside down and shake it to gently tussle it. Add a headband to pull it all together and call it a day! Have a lovely time as the school year begins with your new 5 minute look! See you next time on Style File!

xoxo,
