Maybe your floor’s one and only bathroom is already packed with the 11 other girls you share it with. Or maybe, you woke up extra late for class due to last night’s vigorous flip cup game study sesh. No matter the reason, a lengthy beauty routine isn’t something that’s easily doable for the disorderly days (erm, every day) of dorm livin’.
But, being the avid beauty-column-reader that you are and all, tossing on some lip balm, throwing your hair in a top-bun and sporting yesterday’s mascara remnants probably isn’t something you’re willing to do. What you need is a speedy beauty strategy that can get you out of the concourse in no time, and requires very little (if any) time in front of the swarmed bathroom mirror. The solution? Five simple beauty products that can easily be applied in a few mere minutes to help you look alert and prepared, while ensuring you stick to your pocket-change budget.
From a tinted moisturizer ideal for all skin types, to a lipstick-meets-balm that’ll give the impression you put in some serious effort, click through the slideshow to check out the five easy products that will simplify your dorm dwelling primping regime.
1/5
dorm beauty marcelle moisturizer
#1: Tinted moisturizer for all skin types
Cover up tired (over-partied) skin with a moisturizer that offers a healthy glow. Marcelle’s Sheer Tint Fluid Moisturizer with SPF 15 keeps skin super hydrated and protected, while helping to even out the tone. It includes light reflector pigments that smooth skin leaving an illuminating, silky finish.
Creating perfectly defined, full and polished brows has never been easier than with e.l.f.’s Studio Eyebrow Lifter & Filler. It’s a two-sided pencil, with the lighter side featuring light-reflecting pigments which act as arch support to enhance the shape of the brow, and the other side a darker shade designed for filling in brows to help define their natural shape.
To conceal the occasional blemish and combat over-studied eyes, you’ll want a concealer that works well, blends easily and can be applied in a flash. COVERGIRL’s TRUblend FixStick Concealer will do the trick. This quick-fix stick designed in six different shades (two light, two medium and two dark) blends effortlessly to virtually disappear and leave you with a flawless complexion.
What’s better than a lengthening mascara? One that actually promotes natural growth for luscious, lengthy lashes. And for that, we choose Rimmel London’s Lash Accelerator Mascara.
