What are some simple, but creative ideas for hair and makeup for college?

I think it's good (for any women but especially busy women) to keep a balance in their beauty regimen. As in not spending hours infront of the mirror but being unkempt with poor hygiene skills either.





Here are my tips:





1. Take very good care of you hair. Keep it extremely healthy and treat it like royalty. Don't waste time on heat styling or blowdrying. Just learn to work with natural texture. Healthy hair is beautiful hair. And if you need advice on keeping it healthy, just ask me. And put it up in simple ways, so that it stays out of your face yet still looks put together.





2. Take great care of your skin. The better your skin, the less cover up make up you need to use. I would suggest only using powder for shine and oil blotting sheets.





3. Use a good mascara and eyeliner on the TOP to bring out your eyes. And a tinted lip balm for a natural yet pretty look.





4. Pick out your clothes the night before. This way you won't waste time in the morning wondering what to wear. And you won't resort to wear sweats all of the time.





5. Pick a day once a week to do a nice beauty regimen. For example every Saturday I shave my legs (my leg hair grows extra slow so if this isn't the case for you try waxing.) I also use a nosestrip, face max, pluck my eyebrows and do my nails.





5. And of course take good care of your hair. You'll most likely be eating at a dining hall, so make sure to stock up on lots of fresh veggies and fruit and plenty of water. Get daily exercise (walking is great) and take a multi vitamin.





6. Don't forget to get your 8 hours of sleep everynight!What are some simple, but creative ideas for hair and makeup for college?
hmmm.....i'm only a freshie, but let's see if i can take a good stab at it. :)





hair: a side bun paired with a fun headband is really cute. best part? you only have to brush your hair, and you can even get away with greasy hair if your in a rush. :P

makeup: keep it simple! when buying makeup, it is smart to get good quality (typically expensive) ';base'; cosmetics. what i mean is:


foundation primer


foundation


concealer


eyeshadow primer (if you plan on wearing eyeshadow)


if these things are of high quality, you wont have to worry about that and the rest of your makeup coming off. you will be able to look flawless all day without any trips to the bathroom. :)


a good routine is to wash your face with a cleanser made for your skin type, then primer. mix foundation with your moisturizer to cut down on time. apply concealer under the eye, mascara, lip balm or gloss (gloss in center of lower lip only) and some light blush if you are fairer skinned. oh, good tip: a great way to take off eye makeup is unscented lotion, vaseline, or even Crisco! :)


hope i helped. :)What are some simple, but creative ideas for hair and makeup for college?
When I was in college I wore my hair chin length with bangs, and the only makeup I wore was eyeliner and lipgloss. But I studied all the time and never had time for anything else.
