The end of the semester is full of presentations, papers and of course finals. The end is so near, but in order to actually get there you have to suffer through the hard stuff first. Before the burden of finals starts to get to you, you might have the opportunity to go out and celebrate with your friends one last time before the end of the semester. Spring Fling and formal season is the perfect opportunity to get dressed up and have a night out with your friends. If you are looking to change up your normal makeup and hair routine for the special occasion, look no further than these YouTube beauty gurus who will have all the answers for you.
