Back to school: Outfits and make up essential

What's the highlight of September? The new school year. 

As a girl, I know that choosing an outfits and applying make up is 90% the reason why we're usually late to school. You want to look pretty and make a good impression based on what you wear and how you look, and you are confused because you have a wardrobe full of clothes ahead of you and you don't know what to wear. The anxiety kicks in and you stress out. You often end up screaming that you don't have anything to wear, and you cry, and the day is ruined for you. 

We all have been there. 

Not anymore, I hope, because today I'm trying to make choosing your school outfits easier. 

Your outfits/make up essentials:

If you're a highschool student, I assume you have to wear the uniform. Sucks, I know. It's ugly and oppressive. But you can still rock it. 

If you're not a hijabi, this should be slightly easier for you. You want to go fr something simple but still pretty. 

- First of all, your make up

Note that your skin doesn't need foundation that will ruin it later. If you have flawless skin, good for you. Keep it that way, don't wear make up. If you have spots or uneven skintone, we want to let you know that EVERYONE goes through that. Make up will make it worse. However, if you are unsecured about it, go for foundation and/or powder. Choose one that matches your skintone. If you have dark circles under your eyes, use a concealer (obviously). FYI: youcan use concealer to hide any spots or bottons instead of foundation and powder.

For your eyes, mascara and/or eyeliner would be more than enough. 

If you have a problem applying your eyeliner, here's a tutorial: 

So basically, go for something light and simple. You don't want to over-do it and get sent to the principle's office if you're in highschool, and you want something practical and easy to apply if you're in college because we all know you don't have time, and we won't blame you.

- Your hair/ your scarves

Keep it simple. a high ponytail is chic, so is a messy bun or a braid. 

For your scarves, go for printed, colored and bright when it's warm. Go for something darker when it's winter. Dark green, Navy blue and dark red are the best of winter colors. 

- Shirts

Go for colors. Not bright pink or screaming red colors. You can choose the colors you wear bazed on the season. If it's spring/almost summer time, go for pastel colors.

If it's getting chilly and cold, go for darker colors. 

Prints are also a good option, as long as you're not wearing another printed peice of clothing. You don't want to look rediculous. 

- Jeans

 Many people forget that jeans NEED TO BE CHANGED! Seriouly, don't wear the same jeans for two weaks. Please. Just don't. 

Buy five jeans and match them with your outfits. 

- Jackets and coats

A jacket can add a nice touch to your outfits. A coat is a winter essential, two should be enough to last you a whole winter. 

Here's what we suggest. Make a schedual with all the outfits you'll be wearing. Make it in the weekends and prepare tomorrow's outfits at night. It might sound like something dull, but it really helps you start your day with a smile, not worrying about your clothes. 

Have a good school year everybody. Work hard.

be glamorous

One of the most difficult things to achieve in matters of fashion is that precious, perfectly polished look for which you have to spend tons of money and loads of time. But the fascination a glamour girl exudes is worth every penny and second of it. Want to become glamorous? Read on to find out how!

•Be hygienic. Being clean and smelling nice are the base of looking good.
•Take a shower at least once a day, before you go to bed. You should take a shower in the morning too, if you have enough time. Use a body lotion/shower gel. 
•Brush your teeth three times a day, after each meal. Also use dental floss to remove food stuck between your teeth. 
• Always use deodorant. The smell of sweat is just gross. 
•Make sure all the clothes you wear are clean and ironed. Even an awesome piece of clothing can look horrible if it's not clean and ironed; not to mention it won't last too long if you don't take care of it properly, no matter how well-made it is. 
•Comb or brush your hair to avoid the messy look. Do not brush your hair if it's curly. 
•Follow a proper morning routine. Do these things on a regular basis; they are the basics of looking good. Of course, to look glamorous, you'll need to do a little more than this, but if will be ruined, no matter how expensive your clothes are or how good your makeup are. Get perfect hair. The way your hair looks is crucial for your image as a whole. In order to achieve great hair, follow the advices below. 
•Have flawless skin. Your face and body need special care to look great. These are the essential steps for having healthy, clear, soft skin. - Keep it free of acne and wrinkles as much as you can. Also, avoid getting red spots on your skin (from allergies, stress or harsh attempts to remove zits). Remove blackheads too. You can do it at home or, more easily, by going to a salon and having it done professionally (it takes much more time and effort to do this at home, and the results are different). -Invest in good quality skincare products. -Buy a cleanseer, a toner and a moisturazer, for they are the basics of skincare. Be sure to exfoliate often, but not to often for smooth, glowing skin. You can go further and use additional products like face masks, for instance. 
•Don't forget to shave your legs and armpits . Never wear dresses or skirts if your legs are not perfectly shaved; the view is disgusting. 
•Remember to use a body moisturizer too; not only your face needs moisturizing, but your body too. 
•Get perfect teeth. Brush your teeth after each meal to avoid having bad breath. 
•Take care of your nails. Don't bite them, or let them grow too long. Don't let them get dirty- there's nothing worse than black filth under nails.  
•Wear makeup that enhances your best features and makes you look gorgeous. 
•Put on some perfume 
• Get some fabulous new clothes. 
•Put on some jewels 
•Know what clothes look good on you 
•Buy a few bags that go with most of your outfits 
• Invest is some good quality shoes
