4 Easy Makeup Tips For The Beginner From The Fake YouTuber

So, I know I'm not the only one who thinks they are a famous YouTuber and makes fake YouTube tutorials in their bathroom mirror. Who else explains step-by-step what they're doing to their imaginary subscribers? Now I'm not the best at makeup but I will say I am pretty good. If someone who is a professional makeup artist saw my makeup routine, they would probably laugh right in my face.

I have come to find that it doesn't matter really about the technique as long as the outcome looks good, so here are a few things I have learned from my makeup journey.

1. BLEND BLEND BLEND

I think this one is pretty easy, BLEND! Whenever you put on foundation or concealer blend in the makeup. Take a beauty blender, make it damp, and start patting never rub. You don't want to have a caked face, so continue to blend until everything looks set.

2. EYESHADOW

Now, I'm not the best at eyeshadow but I've come to find that it's actually really easy with great practice. I personally always stick with natural colors for my eyeshadow just because to me its easier to work with.

I recommend always put a dab of concealer on your eyelid to make it easier to blend in your eyeshadow. Also, know your brushes, this means play around and find out which brushes are easier for you to use when to comes to your eyeshadow.

3. HEY HIGHLIGHT

Although highlight is not necessary, it's helpful. Highlight helps to leave you with a glow. I like putting highlight on the bridge of my nose because of the natural glow look it gives me. You can even use a good eyeshadow as your highlight which is what I always do. Highlight helps with enhancing your look.

4. YOU BETTER BAKE SIS!

Lastly, set your face, also known as baking. This means taking a setting powder, tapping it on your face where makeup has been applied such as foundation, let it sit for a minute or two, and then just brushing it off. This will help to ensure that you makeup stays throughout the day.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
