Everyone has that not caring attitude when getting ready for their first early class in the morning. Sometimes what energy you put out to the universe, people feed on it. That’s why we were at HC SUNY Buffalo State want to give you these tips to go from looking like a zombie waking up at 7:55AM to looking fresh faced and fabulous at 8:00AM.
First things first, do your regular routine of showering up and washing your face. It will open up your pores and give you a fresh canvas to work with.
Eyes: about 2-3 minutes
Your eyes are the keys to your soul. While that is a corny line, it is very much true. The usual first contact that anybody has with you is eye contact. When Tyra Banks says to “smile with your eyes” it will help you look pleasant and ready to take on the world. Here are two things you can do to brighten them up.
Mascara: We are not saying pile it on like you’re going to the club, but two quick licks on your top eye lashes and one on the bottom could instantly brighten up your face. We recommend “CoverGirl Lashblast” for length (Yellow tube). The length would be subtle but will make your eyes look instantly open.
Eye shadow: We aren’t talking thick clown makeup lovelies. Neutral tones bring out beauty in any face. Different shades of brown will accentuate and give your eyelids a glint of shine. We recommend “Urban Decay’s Naked2” eye shadow palette, $50. While it’s very costly, don’t fret. It comes with a series of multiple shades that can take you from a fresh faced morning to a party night. (Shades to use in the morning from the palette: Tease, Suspect and YDK)
Lips: Less than a minute
Your lips are your most precious asset. Take care of them as such. With that being said, moisture is key and a hint of shine will play a part in achieving a dewy glow in your face. We recommend using “Maybelline Baby Lips” lip balm in “Quench” (Blue tube, pink writing) or “Peppermint” (Green tube, purple writing) flavors. It’s not tinted and it really does give you that kissable moisture that your lips crave.
It’s that quick ladies! Less is more and with these simple tips will have you looking like your wide awake, cute and that nothing will stop you for your early morning class. A cup of coffee also helps with that too :)
