College days are one of the most amazing and most memorable days of our life. You are done with the schooling and finally you are out in the real world, away from, sort of restricted environment of school. This is the time when most of the girls start experimenting with makeup. But since majority of them have never used makeup before this time, it might get little tricky to get it right. But don’t worry girl, we are here to help you out. Just keep these simple tips in mind and you are sure to make a lot of heads turn.
1. Stick To The Basics- The most important thing that every college going girl needs to understand is that, at such a young age your skin is already pretty perfect and you don’t really need a lot of makeup to look presentable. In order to maintain the sanctity of your skin just stick to the basics such as a compact, kajal, lip balm and you are good to go.

3. Moisturize Your Skin Daily- It doesn’t matter if you have oily or dry skin, do not give this step a miss. A good moisturizer will hydrate your skin and keep it moisturized throughout the day. Choose a moisturizer according to your skin type and use it after cleansing your face.

4. Wear A Sunscreen- College days means you will be spending quite a few hours outside your house, this makes it even more important for you to wear a sunscreen every day. The sunscreen protects your skin from the harmful rays of the sun which may cause hyperpigmentation, dark spots, wrinkles and fine lines. Select a sunscreen with at least SPF 50, as anything less than that won’t give you the required protection.

7. Base Makeup- If your skin is a little problematic, for example if you have dark circles or uneven skin tone then you can use a bb cream or a tinted moisturizer to even out your skin tone. If you have an almost perfect skin then you can get away with just a little bit of compact. Whatever you choose, use a light hand to apply it as you still want your skin to look natural.

8. Enhance Your Eyes- Working late night on college assignments can make your eyes look tired. Brighten up your eyes by using a peach shimmery eyeshadow on your lids and inner corner of your eyes. And for those pesky dark circles use a full coverage concealer. But do not go overboard with the colours you choose, stick to neutrals such as browns, taupe and neutrals. To give your eyes more definition finish off your look with kajal or liner.

10. Amp up Your Lashes- Fluttery lashes can make a lot of hearts melt. On days when you don’t feel like putting on eye makeup but still want to look good, apply 2-3 coats of a lengthening mascara. This will make your eyes look bigger and more open.

11. Prep Your Lips- If you are not too comfortable with wearing a lipstick at your college then start with using a tinted lip balm, as this will moisturize your lips and at the same time give them a hint of colour. Once you are comfortable with the idea of applying lipstick start with shades like pink, peach and corals.
