sparkleyy asked: hi i'm going to my first year of college soon and i was wondering what things in your opinion are must-haves for school?

Hi there! Good luck on your first year of college! I’m a third year now and college is really fun :)

For long days of classes I think having a good long wearing foundation is vital! Try some long wearing foundations like

• Estee Lauder Double Wear (they make a light version w/ light to medium coverage)
• Covergirl 3 in 1 Outlast 
• Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hr Foundation

If you’re living in the dorms like I did you might want a BB Cream to throw on and walk to class. BB Creams are super easy to apply you can even use your hands and walk out the door. Try long wearing BB Creams like

• Garnier BB Cream for Oily/Combination Skin
• Estee Lauder Double Wear Glow All Day BB Cream
• Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer

I also love tinted lip balms for a day of classes! Easy to reapply during class, adds some color to the lips and moisturizes because sometimes classes can be super cold and dry your lips out! Try tinted lip balms like

• Maybelline Baby Lips
• Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment (fav!)
• Maybelline Color Whispers
• Revlon Lip Butters
• Tarte Lip Surgence

You may also want to have a good touch up powder! Personally, I prefer pressed translucent powder as touch up powders because they add no coverage so it never looks cakey. Sometimes touching up with your normal pressed powder can look a little cakey. Try pressed translucent powders like

• MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Pressed Powder 
• Makeup Forever HD Pressed Powder
• Urban Decay De Slick Mattifying Powder 
• NYX Blotting Powder (hint of coverage)
• Rimmel Stay Matte in Transparent
