This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UK chapter.

Waking up for class in the morning can be a challenge, but trying to get ready for class is an even bigger one. Putting on makeup in the morning is the last thing anyone wants to do. However if you are like me, makeup helps you feel more awake and feel better. Just a simple makeup look can help you start the day off right and feel refreshed. Today, I am sharing with you seven simple makeup products for a quick and cute look for class.

  • Foundation: Maybelline Dream Pure BB Creme

After you moisturize in the morning, which is one of the most important steps, apply a light bb creme to help bring some color to your face. The “Maybelline Dream Pure BB Creme” is a great option for class because it lasts for about 12 hours and does not feel too heavy on your skin.

  • Concealer: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind

Concealer is an essential step, especially after late night study sessions or when you have not gotten your eight hours of sleep. The “Maybelline Instant Age Rewind” concealer really helps to brighten up those under eye circles.

  • Bronzer: Benefit Hoola or Hoola Lite Bronzer

Bronzer is a miracle worker during the winter months, especially while you are waiting to get your summer break tan. Benefit’s “Hoola” bronzer adds a glow to your skin and creates a pretty, tan appearance when added to your cheekbones, temples of your forehead and nose. Benefit even offers “Hoola Lite,” which is perfect for paler people like myself.

  • Blush: Tarte Amazonian Clay in Paaarty

If you have enough time after adding bronzer, then apply a little bit of blush to the apples of your cheeks to really give your skin a pop of color. The “Tarte Amazonian Clay” blush in the shade “Paaarty” is a perfect pink color for any skin tone.

  • Mascara: Maybelline Colossal Big Shot

If you only have time for one step out of this whole makeup look, definitely apply mascara. The “Maybelline Colossal Big Shot” mascara is a great lightweight product that keeps your eyes looking awake and lashes looking full throughout the day.

  • Lips: Maybelline Baby Lips

If you are feeling extra fancy, you can pop on a quick lip gloss or some chapstick to complete your makeup look. “Maybelline Baby Lips” is the perfect product for a day of classes because it gives your lips a light shade of color and keeps them very moisturized.
