As the season changes, our makeup and skincare routine should change as well. Our skin is begging for moisturize the moment we step out into the dry, cold air during the fall and winter seasons. How can we keep our skin looking fresh, glowing, and radiant during the next six months? HC Montclair has come up with ten beauty must-haves for every on-the-go collegiette.
1. Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller, $13.49, Walgreens.com. The first step of looking fresh, glowing, and radiant is by looking awake, ladies! Garnier’s great anti-puff eye roller truly works and is perfect for when you’re in a hurry. With caffeine and pro-vitamin B5, it’s meant to decongest excess fluid around the eyes and diminishes dark circles as well as puffiness.
2. Vaseline Intensive Rescue Repair Moisture, $5.49, FaceValuesOnline.com. What’s wonderful about this lotion is how it doesn’t feel or look greasy on the skin. It not only softens the skin, but it works for 24 hours. It’s a great lotion to put onto the skin before you apply your makeup because it can also act as a primer.
3. Fix +, $21.00, MacCosmetics.com. Infused with green tea, chamomile, cucumber, vitamins, and minerals, Fix + gives your skin what it needs to look and feel radiant. This refreshing mist smells amazing and can be applied before, during, and after you finish your makeup.
4. EOS Lip Balm, $3.29, Walgreens.com. This all-natural lip balm leaves your lips feeling
über soft and each flavor smells incredible. It contains shea butter, jojoba oil, and vitamin E for long-lasting moisture. It also isn’t packaged like a regular lip balm – it’s essentially a ball with a twist-off top. Cute!
5. Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Brush, $18.00, SigmaBeauty.com. Without a doubt, the Sigma F80 is the best foundation brush out there. Every YouTube makeup artist uses it! It blends in any liquid or cream product beautifully and leaves your skin looking flawless.
6. Revlon PhotoReady Makeup, $11.49, FaceValuesOnline.com. Every girl needs a foundation that makes her look great in all types of lighting. Revlon’s PhotoReady does the trick. It applies on smoothly, evenly, and contains SPF 20 for every day protection out in the sun.
7. Pro Longwear Concealer, $19.00, MacCosmetics.com. Although it’s a lightweight formula, Mac’s Pro Longwear Concealer is powerful. It conceals and corrects perfectly and lasts up to 15 hours. Apply this concealer after your foundation to hide any under-eye dark circles.
8. Fleur Power, $21.00, MacCosmetics.com. As summer fades away, our tan does as well. Why not embrace pale skin? With Mac’s Fleur Power, you’ll have the perfect rosy complexion. The best part about this powder blush is that it’ll last you a long time. You only need a few brush strokes on each cheek.
9. Maybelline Volum’ Express Colossal Mascara, $6.99, Ulta.com. This mascara lengthens and adds extra volume to your lashes to perfect your look. It’s available at every drugstore and really works. Tip: For your mascara to last longer, add two to three drops of any eye drops in your tube when you notice it drying out.
10. Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray, $29.00, Sephora.com. As busy college students, we want the effort we put into our makeup in the morning to last the entire day. With this setting spray, your makeup won’t move, smudge, fade, crack, or settle into fine lines for up to 16 hours. Not even the harsh wind during the fall and winter seasons can break through this.
