My Simple but Glam Makeup and Hair Routine

If you’re like me, putting a cute outfit together for class is a struggle. All you truly want to do is roll up to class in your pajamas. But on the days when I do this, I find that my daily routine tends to fall apart. I feel disheveled and don’t accomplish anything significant. My solution? Taking 15 extra minutes in the morning to accomplish that everyday glam. This routine requires a minimal amount but will still make you feel put together for the day ahead.

Step 1: Hair

I’ve used a MILLION different hair oils and creams for blowouts. Some haven’t protected my hair from the heat well enough or simply don’t give me the silky smoothness I’m after. But Kérastase’s L’incroyable Blowdry Crème does both of these while giving my hair that delicious “fresh out of the salon” scent. After running a dime-sized amount of product through my wet hair, I blow out my hair with a T3 Cura Luxe hair dryer: the single best product I have ever owned. 

Step 2: Makeup

When it comes to everyday makeup, I find that simpler is better because A, your pores will be clogged if you wear heavy face makeup everyday. They will thank you later, and B, come on… who has time for that?! You have bigger and better things to focus on, queen.

My go-to products are the Bobbi Brown Under Eye Concealer, Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara in Blackest Black, and bareMinerals Barepro Matte Powder Foundation. Though these products may seem simple, I can guarantee they will make you feel put together and ready to tackle the day!
