Of course the first week of classes after a long winter break you want to make all your nights out on the town a look to remember (and not just planning the right outfit). Experimenting with new products is only half the fun. By switching up your beauty routine each day, you'll find that your sorority sisters will want to borrow your new rosy pink gloss or your shimmery Naked pallet so they can change up their look too. 

1. Smokey eye. Take your casual under eyeliner and create a subtle smokey eye. Don't automatically assume you have to use a dark black shadow. By using a darker shade of shadow than you normally would makes a world of a difference. Add a little more eyeliner on top and bottom to compromise for the darker shadow, and blend the dark into the lighter shades on your lid and corner of the eye. 

2. Bronzer. Have a bronzed glow without hitting the tanning booth. There are plenty of self tanners out there that surprisingly look natural, and look even better when you apply a light amount of powder over them. St. Tropez and Jergens Natural Glow are two great affordable brands that enhance your look without ruining your skin. Of course we all can't look as good as Eva Longoria, but she sure is an inspiration. 

3. Lip Game. Understand that intense cherry red lipstick is not the most flattering look on everyone. Instead, mix colors. If you do have a red lipstick that you never wear, put on a very thin, light coat, and then mix with a rosy pink color and then follow with a light pink gloss. Sushi Kiss and Pink Nouveau are two MAC colors that match well with a bright red. 

4. Try a colored eyeliner. If you have blue eyes, an eggplant color or navy with silver sparkles. If you have brown eyes, try any range of purple or dark blue. If you have green eyes, a deep brown or surprisingly a forest color looks great as well.

5. Peach/pink blush. Switch up between bronzer and blush because sometimes both together appears that your caked it on without meaning to. Take light dabs into your powder and create layers. It's hard to remove when you put it all on at once, but with consistent layers, you will know when it looks just right.
