Coming back to the Bucknell bubble is always fun and exciting. We are finally reunited with our friends after the long summer, and the start of the new school year is filled with anticipation of a fresh start. However, this time of year oftentimes can be the most stressful one in terms of appearance – everyone takes special notice of each other walking around campus the first few days. So, we have compiled a list of a 5 back to school beauty tips for you to smoothly transition from summer to fall and to impress old friends and new acquaintances.

1. Moroccan Oil Treatment
Moroccan oil can be used as a conditioning, styling and finishing tool. It will protect your hair from being damaged by all the heat strain we put on our hair from styling. It will make your hair stronger, frizz-free and ultimately create shiny, salon-perfect hair. http://www.moroccanoil.com/en_US/products/Moroccanoil%C2%AE-Treatment

2. Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15
For a natural daytime look for classes, Clinique’s Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer is a great base foundation. It serves primarily as a moisturizer to keep your skin looking great all day, but it also has the benefits of SPF protection. Additionally, it has a hint of skin-perfecting color to even out your skin tone yet does not feel like make-up. Lastly, it is oil-free to help prevent breakouts. http://www.clinique.com/product/1599/15635/Makeup/Foundations/Moisture-Surge-Tinted-Moisturizer-SPF-15/index.tmpl

3. NARS Orgasm Blush
Rosy cheeks are simple yet stunning. To achieve the perfect blushing cheeks, try NARS blush in Orgasm. This blush is a natural, healthy-looking color that will last all day. It will even adjust to your skin tone to create just the right shade. It is the most purchased blush in America for a reason! http://www.narscosmetics.com/iconic-nars/cult-classics/~/orgasm-blush

4. Dior Diorshow Mascara
A favorite of make-up artists behind the scenes on fashion runways for 10 years, Dior Diorshow Mascara has an awesome reputation. This mascara creates runway worthy lashes that are both voluminous and dramatic. It never clumps and lasts all day. It even comes in a waterproof formula!

5. Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm
Clinique’s new line of Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm is perfect for class. It nourishes and moisturizes your lips like a chap stick to keep them soft. Clinique deems it the hybrid between lipstick and lip-gloss because it has a hint of color that isn’t as strong as a lipstick, and it has a subtle sheen that isn’t as shiny as a gloss. The chubby stick comes in 16 different shades. http://www.clinique.com/product/1605/15520/Makeup/Lipsticks/Chubby-Stick-Moisturizing-Lip-Colour-Balm/index.tmpl

Any of these products are great options in order to make an amazing first impression for the new start of the school year!
 

Sarah Dubow graduated from school in 2013 and is a Digital Strategist at Marina Maher Communications in New York City. After serving as Campus Correspondent at Bucknell University, she is so excited to continue being a part of the Her Campus team! Besides traversing the city and trying to figure out what being a "real person" really means, Sarah loves long walks on the beach, sipping pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain (kidding!). Real favorites include traveling, writing, kickboxing, and making up ridiculous lyrics to the latest songs. She absolutely loves anything that involves cupcakes, butterflies, glitter, and anything Parisian and specializes in baking with far too much chocolate and obsessively watching shows bound to be cancelled after the first season. Though the long term path for this post-grad collegiette remains unclear, she's looking forward to all the new 20-something adventures that await her!
