As a college student, it can be difficult to find downtime in my busy schedule. My life revolves around homework, tests and extra curricular activities. To counter this, I like to allow extra time in the mornings for myself to get ready. Applying my makeup and picking out clothes excites me and gives me a chance to be creative. However, there are some mornings where I cannot help but hit the snooze button. Minimal and natural makeup is my go-to look when I am pressed for time. This Fashionista proves that a little makeup goes a long way!
Minimal makeup is great for college students because it is quick, easy and lets your natural beauty shine. This Fashionista focused on her eye makeup, making her beautiful eyes pop. She used a neutral shade on her lids and black eyeliner to define her eyes. A quick makeup tip that takes seconds to do is adding mascara to your lashes. Mascara helps create the illusion of a wider eye. She then added a little blush on the cheeks and some lip balm. This look is simple but cute and highlights her natural beauty.
This Fashionista paired her natural makeup with a pair of jeans, a stripped shirt, a cardigan and a lightweight jacket. One of the reasons why I liked her look as much as I did was because I thought her makeup complemented her outfit; chic and laid back!
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: Minimal makeup is about keeping things simple. Focus on one main thing. If you choose to focus on the eyes like this stylish Fashionista, invest in neutral eye shadows, a mascara that will give you killer length and a black or brown eyeliner. If you want to focus on your skin, find a BB cream or a tinted moisturizer and a brightening concealer. These products are low maintenance and make your skin look great.
