Hi loves! Some days, college life calls for a quick and effortless makeup look.
I like to keep things simple and natural, using only a handful of products that enhance my features without taking forever to apply. Here’s my go-to routine for a normal day of classes—fast, fresh, and easy.

1. Catkin Cushion Foundation

This is my favorite base for a natural, even complexion. The cushion formula makes application super quick—just a few taps and you’re good to go! It evens out my skin tone while keeping my skin looking fresh and breathable, perfect for long days on campus.

2. Glossier Stretch Concealer

For any areas that need a little extra coverage, like under-eyes or minor blemishes, I reach for Glossier’s Stretch Concealer. It blends seamlessly, looks natural, and feels lightweight, so you don’t get that heavy, cakey feeling.

3. Tarte Tubing Mascara

A swipe of Tarte’s tubing mascara makes my eyes pop without the fuss of falsies or multiple layers of mascara. It lengthens and separates my lashes, and the tubing formula means it lasts all day without smudging—perfect for long lectures and campus errands.

4. Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

To finish the look, I add Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm. It hydrates my lips while adding a soft, polished tint. It’s effortless and keeps my lips looking healthy and fresh throughout the day.
This routine proves that you don’t need a million products to look put-together for class. With just a few multitasking favorites, you can achieve a natural, polished, and long-lasting look in under five minutes
