Sunscreen
You're going to be at school for long hours, the less will ultimately be better in regards to how many layers you're wearing for your base. I believe a great Sunscreen can be both day-time skincare and primer! That means it has to feel weightless whi...

I've used both and can tell you, this is the dupe for the NARS soft matte concealer, and I stand by that! Highly recommend for those who need high coverage that a liquid concealer just can't do. Back in the day, they had a very limited selection, now...

Dasique Pro Concealer Palette

Milani Baked Blush
Contour & Bronzer
a holy grail I cannot get enough of
Neutral option is my favorite. It’s not too warm and not too cool - just perfect for nose contour. Butter smooth to a fault even: it can easily shatter if dropped! Regardless of its fragility, I have been devoted to Art Class By Rodin since college. ...

Mascara
Mascara is one of the items I am most picky about. It has to last long, hold curl, and even while staying on my eyes it needs to stay resilient against the oily eyelids it calls home. Etude’s Curl Fix Mascara has made the cut and even propelled itsel...
ETUDE - Curl Fix Mascara
My top mascara of all time! Nothing else can apply as thin, stay on all day, and be completely indifferent to overactive sebum glands. My recommendation would be the waterproof long lash version (red cap).

For the greasy lid folk! This eyeliner pencil has never failed me! Glides on smooth, no tug ever, and stays put.
