Makeup Must-Haves for College/Teen Girls!

Hey everyone!
Late teens and college is the time where most of us start experimenting with makeup! It is always good to start with a few basic items like tinted lip balms and pencil liners/kohl and slowly adapt to lipsticks/blushes depending on how comfortable you are wearing them. College makeup must haves should also be pocket-friendly!

Makeup Must-Haves for College/Teen Girls!

I like to keep my college look simple and fresh. A hint of color on the lips and eyes and some tinted sunscreen and compact to even out skin and take care of sweat/oiliness is all I need on most days.

Here are my makeup recommendations for teens and college going girls.

• BB cream/Sunscreen

You don't need to cake out your skin with heavy coverage foundation for everyday college look. A tinted moisturizer or BB creams (that are trending a lot with almost every brand coming out with their BB creams) with SPF or sunscreen is just enough to give a chic and fresh look to your skin.

College girls would not need blush on daily basis, but during farewells, prom nights, annual functions or any other event during your college days, you will definitely need a light flush of color on your cheeks. Blush when applied with light strokes gives nice tinted glow to the overall makeup.
