Summer has arrived and so have the latest trends in makeup. Basically, it’s going to be hot out and the objective is to not cake makeup onto your face and smother your pores. But, in the midst of summer heat and outdoor activities, the last thing you want is your makeup running down your face. What are the summer looks that will keep you looking and feeling cool? Makeup artist and aspiring designer Jennie Rhee gave me the scoop.

Pastels

Pastels are necessary for the summer. A big trend right now is just one wash of color on the eyelids. It’s easy, there’s no five-step eye shadow process, no smokey eye nonsense, and you can accentuate it with defined eyeliner in the same color. NYX Electro Liners are a new line of retractable eyeliners that come in vibrant shades and are sure to bring that pop of color to your look.

Highlighters

Highlighters are a very up and coming product for the summer. Everyone wants that summer glow to “look like a glazed donut” according to Jennie. The MILK makeup highlighter “Lit” is not only easy to blend but it also lasts longer than powdered highlighters.


Cream blushes

The cream blush concept is pretty much the same argument for a cream highlighter above. If you're going to be sweating all day anyway, you might as well go for a product that will stay on your face.

Juicy lip gloss or lip balm

Go for a more glossy lip look, opposed to a matte one, and definitely aim for a long lasting product. Even a tinted balm with SPF would be acceptable and protect you from UV rays - your lips can get sunburned too! bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in "Hypnotist" gives your lips an iridescent shimmer and contains no synthetic fragrances or dyes.

Glossier's _Generation G lipstick is a sheer balm that is buildable, meaning you can apply one or two swipes for a lighter shade and more coats for a darker, more matte finish.

Multi-functional products

When you’re on the go - at your internship, at the beach, on the road - it helps to have a few products that fill different needs. Jennie recommends the Chosungah 22 “So Tiny” Lip & Cheek Face Color. Reviews of the product declare it matte, non-greasy, long lasting, and easy to use.

A similar product, the Becca Beach Tint, is water-resistant and enriched with vitamin E. Users rate it highly, saying you don’t need to use much to create a natural looking and durable tint. Using a non-powder blush will help you avoid the melting associated with heat and sweat.

See some of these tips in action in makeup artist Jennie Rhee’s "Lazy Girl Makeup Tutorial." Watch the video below to learn a subtle yet bold look for the summer.

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.
