CONTEST: BH Cosmetics Back to School Contest [CLOSED]

[Dianaxo271]

Staying natural for school is a MUST for me, so I always love a subtle makeup look. 

My favorite makeup look would be a light champagne eyeshadow on the lid, a darker taupe blended into the crease and a vanilla color in the inner corners of the eye to really brighten up plus on the brow bone to highlight and bring focus and attention to the eye. This will compliment any eye color beautifully. 

Also, for a natural glow, I like to add three dots of benefit high beam on the cheek bone and blend it out. I use a bit of my favorite blush, coralista from benefit, a light natural looking coral color to compliment the glow. I finish the look off with 2 coats of maybelline the falsies mascara to frame the eyes and mac lipglass in pink lemonade from pink, glossy lips. 

A little trick I use is to only swipe the makeup brush your using ONCE, this will prevent any 'over-doing' on things and the look will appear natural, and light. This will enhance your features instead of covering them.

I love to rock bright extreme colors, whether I'm at work, school, or play!!! I definitely like to look my best at school since it is such a great social outlet, pretty makeup always brings in the compliments and is a great conversation starter too! My tip would be to always use a primer, especially for those long and difficult days in class, it'll help keep you looking sharp and fabulous all through the day!!!

Starting out simple and not too dramatic is best for me. I usually incorporate more colors as the school year goes on (way to deal with all the stress? lol) Make sure eyebrows are filled in, add a little bit of brown and silver to brighten up my eyes and a little bit of gloss. Dust on a little bronzer or blush and I'm good to go! 

I totally miss school now~

My perfect make up look  for school is neutral colors, and if a have to go out at night i just put black eyeshadow on the outer corner of my eye and blendig it into the crease.I did my make up with the bh costmetics 88 neutral palette /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. The best tip for my make up is to use thermal water before and after my make up /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My best back to school makeup look is a colorful eye make-up to remind me of summer /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  ! Bright colors like red, yellow and Green are a must

! Plus a little star on the edge and a dark eye-liner to add some edginess and make it wearable ! Also those colors are the colors of the flag of my country  ! Just to be patriotic because of the Olympics ( See the flag below)  !

My tip is to use your fingers if you don't have a brush

! I didn't use any brush to make this look ! just my index finger

Natural non- cakey, fresh & awake.

eyeshadow primer &

bronzey natural eyshadow with a darker brown (2-3 shades down) on the crease creating almost a "smokey eye look" . Add a little of the darker brown to the end of the lower lash line & add white (or 1 shade lightr than first color) to the teardrop & beginning of lower lashline. Use a shimmery white as a highlight. Use black liner to outline outer eye & on your lower waterline use white liner to look more awake & to define the eye.

Light foundation, & bright colored blush to look lively & playful (don't over- do it) . Contrast or use mineral illuminating veil to add shine.

I like natural looking- false lashes, but you can always just us a lenghtening mascara.

Lipstick- I'd going for a nude with pink undertones, but a bright barbie pink will always look great with natural makeup!

Add a little gloss, peahcy or clear & you're done !! Perfect makeup for school! Not overdone, not underdone.

I used NAKED by UD but the BH cosmetics Neutral Palette works wonders. I just ordered mine after trying out a friends

I'm using the gl eyeliner 'Frost' from BH Cosmetics as a highlight .

** the picss are what Im doing, just a nude lip. The color im wearing is Divine from covergirl.

I like to keep it simple, matte, and a nice lip!  Mascara is always a MUST!  I am loving There REAL by benefit!

My back to school look is neutral colored smokey eyes, i find them to be my best feature and like to make them pop. I use use darker colors and pile them on top of each other then blend them and add some shimmer. I only really use my BH palettes, eyeliner, mascara and concealer to fix the dark circles.

In the end i look something like this /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Roxane68]

My favorite back to school look is some foundation powder, mascara, and a little eyeliner. My tip is to also wear a primer! It smooths out the canvas so you can paint!

My best tips would be to use brushes instead of your fingers and to set your makeup! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />



In my picture, I used the BH cosmetics 120 palette first edition for the green colors. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I Love your eye makeup!!

 

[MirandaJustine]

My back to school look is a somewhat natural look with a winged liner on the top. The key to making this look is keeping the eye shadow blended and the liner perfectly straight(

I love to make a statement and show my personality.  My favorite back to school look is bright colors, definitely!  For me, it shows that I am outgoing and that I am not afraid to be picked in class =P 

My favorite color choices are yellow, orange, and pink  or greens!  My biggest tip to pull this off is PRIMER PRIMER PRIMER!

Aa summer draws to an end, some things to consider for a back to school look should include both hair and makeup. Your tan is fading , now is a good time to start exfoliating and moisturizing. Include moisturizer with SPF year round in you skin care makeup routine. Keep foundation sheer apply bronzer sparingly on nose and cheeks instead of blush. Use colors that compliment your natural tones. Discard any makeup you purchased that is the wrong color or just old. Start with fresh new colors palettes and brushes. It's better to have a little that you love wearing and you will save time by not having to rummage through large amounts of product you are not using. Never wear too much makeup in the daytime but always wear something you will look and feel better. Keep lip gloss in your purse or backpack. Soft, clean and natural is the best daytime look. Save heavy dramatic looks for evening when you can get crazy and add drama. Your back to school look should include shiny looking hair to create a healthy overall look. If you have a fresh pretty face and dry damaged hair or the wrong color tones for your skin you've got more work to do. Hair should be exfoliated (deep cleanser) followed by a deep conditioner. . Visit a salon consider a new style or shaping. Your stylist can recommend a hair color that works with your natural skin tones same as your makeup. Overly lightened highlites need to be toned. Darker shades need shine.If your hair is chemical free consider a clear hair gloss fo maximumize shine. Now that's a pretty picture .

I work full time and will be attending graduate school as well. Long-wearing products are a must. They tend to dry my skin out so my tip is to moisturize well and drink lots of water.

As a grad student and teacher I have to keep my back to school look simple, but that doesn't mean I don't like to have fun! I think the key is a great eyeliner in. Bold color with a soft eyeshadow- I love to pair my Stila waterproof eyeliner with a neutral shadow so that I have that pop of color but not over the top while I'm in the classroom!

 

[TheBoredGinger]

I'm in beauty school so my "back to school" looks are more fun. I like to do a thick winged eyeliner with a little matte brown in my crease to define my eyeshape. Then I do a gently contoured cheek with a light Bronzer and then the big plus. I use my Favored neon pink lip stick and then use a dark purple from my BH palette and blend it into the corners of my lips to make an ombre effect. It's funky it's colorful but not too colorful. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
