Back To School Beauty Inspired By 2008 Teen Choice Awards

So, I know its been a while for HMS, but I've been so busy with schoolwork. Totally overwhelming!
Hey, speaking of school, I've got some great new looks that are going to have you looking like a star for every single day of the week. Whats the point of having a new outfit for the first day of school if you hair and makeup doesn't look equally as nice?

I saw the red carpet looks of the 2008 Teen Choice Awards inspired these gorgeous finds. I'll make the directions very quick and easy to do on the days that you are late. And, each look goes well with specific events. Basically, I've got your new school year all plotted out for you.



Leighton Meister of Gossip Girl fame looks like someone just told her a very naughty secret. This baby cute blushing face makes a perfect everyday look for flirting your way to A's:
  1. Use a tinted moisturizer with opalescent finish to give yourself a clear complexion. Do not use powder; it make your skin look matte and cake-y.

  3. Apply the blush on the apples of your cheeks [Bobby Brown Shimmer Blush in Washed Rose, Pop Beauty Blush Cakes in Warm in Sienna or Pretty in Pink (NP).
  4. Apply a pink-coordinated eyeshadow over lips. Use the darker color as a contour.

  5. Swipe a tinted moisturizer over your lips for a naturally flushed look [M.A.C. lip conditioner in Petting Pink or Fuschia Fix].

  2. Swipe concealer or a sheer coverage stick over the areas that need help, just to ensure a pure canvas[Smashbox Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealer, Lorac Coverup Concealer]. If you are afraid to choose a shade on your own, then try a no-tint brightening powder [bareMinerals Well-Rested].
  3. Use Clinique Color Surge eyeshadow Quad in Spicy or Nars Duo Eyeshadow in Surabaya. Use the deepest color on the crease of your lids. Blend the lightest color on the rim and the lid itself. Use the darkest color and a liner on lids.
  4. Apply contour with a contour blush under the zygomatic bone (the hard piece of your cheeks)[ Make Up For Ever Compact Modellers, Covergirl Instant Cheekbone Contouring]. Then apply bronzer with a large feathered brush all over face in short swipes.
