Keep an eye on your eyes.
There are a lot of options for eyes – liners and primers and shades, oh my! Who has the time? For a daytime school look, you might do well to remember that less is more.

Lengthen your lashes.
Yes, we’re still on the subject of lashes. Long, short, light, dark, straight, or curled, our lashes help us keep dust and other particles out of our eyes, and add a little something to our overall look.

Drink water like your life depends on it.
We all know we can’t survive without water, but are we getting enough of it every day? The recommended amount is 8-10 glasses a day (and no, sodas and coffee won’t quite cut it).

Always protect it.
You have to care for your skin with antioxidants and SPF. You can do all the work and then if you don't wear SPF, you'll just go undo it all again.

Have fun with makeup.
Sometimes beauty isn't that serious.

Give your skin a break.
When asked about the biggest issues she sees in skin care, overexfoliation ranked at the top of the list.

Remember, clean your makeup brushes to fight against potential bacteria and breakouts. At least once a week, swirl brushes around in a mixture of warm water and mild soap, then lay flat to dry.

If you have greasy hair, avoid directly conditioning roots and condition from your ear down to ends.

Sunscreens that claim to provide “all-day protection” and “water resistance” are not reliable; don’t be fooled by these claims and reapply all sunscreens at least every 2-3 hours.
