BEAUTY BAR: Zumba Proof Pout

September 28th, 2016 at 2:00am

Hello my star gazers and dream chasers! I hope syllabus week was kind to you and your textbooks only cost an arm and a leg instead of a more vital organ. Now that classes have been in full swing for a few weeks, I’ve lost some motivation to making a good stylistic impression for my classmates and professors.  As the school year picks up, I find myself thinking, “Is it worth it? Is my 8:30 anthropology class really going to notice if I curl my hair?” No. My anthropology class is here to learn about the changing cultures of Latin America, not to watch my hair bounce. However, I find myself taking better notes and care of myself when I feel good, and if that means taking an extra 20 minutes on my hair, so be it.

Sometimes we don’t have that luxury. Sometimes we have three activities lined up after class with no break in between. Sometimes we over sleep. Sometimes we have fifteen minutes to stumble out of bed, fill up our to-go coffee cups, and dash up six flights of stairs. That’s where lipstick comes into play. This Fashionista was wearing a deep berry stain on her way to Zumba class. She had class all day, followed by activities, and was about to work up a sweat in Stila’s liquid lipstick. I was amazed. Never have I ever seen a lipstick look so casual and low maintenance while staying on all day through her busy schedule.

Whenever I wear lipstick, I am acutely aware of the mess on my mouth area and feel the need to reapply it every hour or so.  Not this lipstick. According to this Fashionista, the stain lasted through all her classes and meals. Even after Zumba, her pout was perfectly intact. A local hero is recognized for her bravery and devotion to the motto “Dress Well Test Well”.
