GirlsGuideTo | College Beauty Basics

You’ve got your textbooks, pens, and more dorm furniture than you’ll have room for. While you’ve marked everything of your list, you may have forgotten your college beauty checklist. Don’t fret, because we’ve got the bare minimum you'll need to feel fresh and beautiful this fall.

Makeup Remover Wipes

Hide evidence of those late nights by preventing raccoon eyes in the morning. Even if you just finished a late-night study session, don’t crash ‘til you’ve at least cleaned your makeup off. Keep a pack of makeup remover wipes near your bed for those times when you’re too exhausted for a full on face wash. Look for oil-free formulas, since they’re gentle on sensitive skin.

Dry Shampoo

This one will definitely come in handy during finals week. Between classes, studying, the rec, and friends we realize there’s not always time to wash our hair and deal with drying, straightening, and styling, etc. In that case, pull out your handy dry shampoo. Just a few spritz and your hair will feel and look fresh.

Tweezers

Perfectly groomed eyebrows are possible, even without consistent visits to the salon. Just use a precise brand of tweezers, like Tweezerman, and maintain the brow shape you have after a wax.

2-in-1 Beauty Products

In addition to the busy lifestyle of a student, you’ve got very limited storage space. Reduce clutter and save time getting ready by using products that multitask. Here’s a few options:
