2020 marks my transition from high school to college and that’s  pretty big deal. My school will be holding classes online thanks to Covid 19, so I need to be on top of my skin care and makeup game.

I like to have a set routine when it comes to makeup and hair especially during the school year. Even in high school, I would wear the same makeup everyday (of course changing up the lip product that I would use) and have a routine in how I apply my makeup. I tend to run late so I don’t want to waste any time.

Campus life as well as in person classes are totally cancelled. But I need to to maintain my signature makeup look as if I am at school. I go for a natural look — makeup I can wear to school but also wear on a day to day basis without changing my whole routine up.

Check out my my makeup picks that are perfect for my natural look for my virtual classes!
