Calling all make up lovers! This one is for you. 96.9 Radio Humber understands the struggling college student life from the money issues, the stressful days and sleepless nights we feel you. No matter what program you’re in or school you go to we know it’s hard to make time for yourself as a student with early mornings, late nights and crazy assignments.
Maintaining your appearance can also be hard when you’re exhausted as it is and have 8am classes all week long (Like me) to deal with. When that alarm goes off at 6am the last thing on your mind is to beat your face with makeup. This is coming from a girl who use to never leave the house without make up on, it’s funny how things change.
In this blog I’m going to be showing you some fast easy products that are great for when you’re pressed for time or simply just too exhausted to care. All the products I will be mentioning are all student pocket friendly their cheap and efficient and your wallet will thank you later. I know we all love MAC and Sephora, but these days it’s easier to run to Shoppers or Walmart when that tuition is due.
First off, I highly recommend using ELF products I recently discovered elf and have been in love ever since it’s dirt cheap, but their products are amazing. Elf has become recently more popular,
makeup artists and beauty bloggers around the world use it and recommend it. My best friend that is a makeup artist at MAC introduced ELF to me.
(from the brushes to the makeup their products are great the cupboards are always bare people love their stuff!)

One of my favorite every day looks is very simple. Give yourself time to try it the first time around, but the more you do the look the faster you can pull it together.
Step 1: Everyone’s skin is different, but use your favorite face wash (I use St. Ives apricot scrub) and then after you wash your face find a good face moisturiser for your skin. I prefer Clinique Dramatically different, but it’s really what works for your skin type.
Step 2: Next prime your face with ELF illuminating face primer or one of your choice. This helps makeup sit on the face smoothly with no lines and creases and it helps makeup last longer.
Step 3: Liquid or mouse Foundation will get rid of all those imperfections make sure to find one that matches you skin tone as well as feels/looks good on your face then with a blending sponge blend it all over.
Set the foundation with a pressed or loose powder. I have been using cover girl translucent loose powder in the medium shade since I was 16 it’s a staple make up item for me. It gives me flawless coverage and I can put it over any foundation I wear. I’ve tried many others, but this product will always be my day one.
Next is bronzer or blush depending on what you prefer add a little to the checks and highlights of your face for a touch of colour. (You can also add a bit of highlighter if you wish)
Step 4: THE EYE BROWS! If you already have beautiful natural brows your lucky. It can be tricky finding the right brow products sometimes. I use a dark brown eye shadow (it’s cheap) or dip brow pomade by Anastasia. I find I like using an eye shadow better. Use a brow angle brush with the comb on the end. (I love the ELF brow brush).
Tip: With a highlighter or Champaign colour eye shadow highlight your brow bone after your eye brows are complete.
Step 5: Curl your eyes lashes then Mascara them for extra volume try essence lash volumizing powder. (Brush, it through your lashes after your first coat of mascara after the powder is on apply another coat of mascara until your desired look). The powder gives your lashes a longer, fuller touch.
Step 6: ALL DONE!! For your lips, it’s up to you if your feeling bold do any colour your heart desires it will make this look stand out. For class I prefer a mauve to natural pink look. NYX is one of my favorite lip stick brands the price is great and the colours are beautiful.
Final Step: Spray your face with a setting spray to keep your look locked in all day. Elf or Wet and Wild have cheap setting sprays and they both work well NYX is also a gem.
** For the day’s, you can’t even bother just wash your face use a good moisturizer and a face primer for a nice glow and wear a tinted lip balm/Chap Stick. **
(Your skin will look glowingly natural. (this is my no make up look)
I hope you find this blog of some use for your morning routines remember your beautiful on the outside and inside. it’s not mandatory to wear make up everyday to class what’s important is to feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. Wear make up when you feel like it or don’t at all!
