How To: Conservative Makeup For The Workplace

Hi beauty lovers! So this week I have a bunch of job interviews coming up and I thought it would be a great idea to show how I would get ready for one. There are also a lot of businesses that create or host formal events and parties and they usually only allow their staff to wear very light makeup. You don't want to take any of the attention away with your green and blue smokey eye!

So basically all that I do is just prime my face and put my foundation on, today I used a mixture of the Smashbox Photo Ready BB Water and my M.A.C. studio fix waterproof foundation.

Then I went in with some concealer from M.A.C. concealer and a Tarte color corrector that cancels out the purple underneath my eyes, you can't look like a zombie on the job.

Then I just went in and set that with my Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder. I know this will come as a shock, but I did not contour at all. I decided I wanted to be contour free and I actually liked it. You can do whatever you prefer though because contouring can be subtle.

Then for my eyes I just went very simple, only two colors but that's better than leaving them bare. I went in with my Tarte Tartelette in Bloom palette and used a very light brown in my crease and a matte cream color on my lid. Effortless but still cute.

Then to finish off the look I went with a light pink satin lip, every beauty guru's favorite, Velvet Teddy by M.A.C.

Then I was out the door and feeling good! Make sure to share this with your beauty loving friends!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
