With the back to school season just around the corner it's time to tone down the bronzer and opt for more natural looking makeup for school. Sporting a natural cosmetic look while in school is a great way to keep things basic and your skin looking fresh-faced.
Playing around with bold colors and over-exaggerated makeup looks is fun for a night out on the town but while in school mode it's so much easier, simpler and time-saving to keep things looking fresh and natural. The top priority is to keep your complexion clear which can be hard thanks to things like stress, going out and eating junk. In order to keep your face looking clear and refreshed keep the skin virtually bare and makeup looks to a minimum. Focus on brightening your skin with simple blush, a bit of mascara and concealer when needed. This way you'll look fresh and appropriate for every occasion.
