GRWGL (GET READY WITH GIRLS' LIFE): FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL EDITION

MONDAY

THE VIBE: Go back to school looking refreshed and ready to tackle the year. Keep your look simple and classic, with glowy skin and a pop of red on your lips.

GRWGL: Apply a tinted moisturizer over a hydrating face cream (cover any blemishes with a creamy concealer so the skin looks natural and even, says makeup artist Nydia Figueroa), then prep your lips with a rich balm. Sweep blush over the apples of your cheeks (pick one that complements your lipstick) and gently dust highlighter over your cheekbones for a luminous effect. Finally, wipe away leftover lip balm and apply cherry red lipstick. “To perfect your lip line, dab a brush in a little bit of concealer or foundation and clean up the edges,” shares Figueroa.

TRY: Milk Makeup Cream Blush in Flip, $24, milkmakeup.com. L.A. Colors Strobing Powder in Iridescent Pearl, $5, lacolors.com. Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Lip Souffl é Matte Cream Lipstick in Inspire, $20, sephora.com. 

TUESDAY

THE VIBE: It’s day two, and your sched is packed with club meetings and soccer practice. You need a look that won’t sweat off: No-makeup makeup is the way to go.
