[ot-caption title=”It can be tricky to navigate the world of makeup with all of the products available on the market, especially when it comes to choosing products that will last throughout the school day. (via Annika Polatsek, sophomore)”]

Between a constant workload, endless extracurricular activities, and your spectacular and interesting social life (a.k.a. binge-watching your favorite TV shows on Netflix), it’s hard to look put together during the school year. Sleep seems but a distant memory, and trying to stay awake during class is a daily uphill battle, much less looking awake. Most students can relate to these stresses, and so to help you survive these upcoming weeks leading up to midterms, here is a list of makeup products that will help you look refreshed, wide awake, and in control, even when you’re anything but.[spacer height=”20px”]

Oily Skin[spacer height=”10px” id=”2″]

CLINIQUE Acne Solutions BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40 ($38)- Having oily skin is a struggle when it comes to regulating shine and dealing with breakouts, but this BB cream handles it all in one easy step. As a mattifying formula that provides medium coverage, reduces pores, controls oil, and features SPF 40 sun protection, this everyday product is a quick and easy fix to your oily skin problems.[spacer height=”20px”]

tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof 12-Hour Concealer ($23)- We’ve all been there: it’s the end of the day, and you look in the mirror to find that your concealer is nowhere near where you put it in the morning. Oil tends to cause makeup to melt and crease after prolonged use, which is why this waterproof, 12-hour wear concealer, in addition to expertly hiding blemishes, promises to provide natural-looking coverage that lasts all day.[spacer height=”20px”]

Too Faced Love Flush Long-Lasting 16-Hour Blush ($26)- Featuring a pigment-rich, long-wear formula, this powder blush provides a weightless look that lasts from day to night without fading or smudging. Offered in a wide range of buildable colors, this product can be used to create a wide variety of looks for both day and night.[spacer height=”20px”]

Combination Skin[spacer height=”10px” id=”2″]

bareMinerals Prime Time BB Primer-Cream Daily Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($27)- Finding makeup products for normal skin can be tough. Sometimes it may seem like there’s no product out there that both controls shine and hydrates, but never fear. This multi-tasking BB primer can be worn on its own to reduce discoloration and the appearance of pores, provide SPF 30 sun protection, prevent breakouts, and ultimately achieve smooth skin without having to worry about excess oil or dryness.[spacer height=”20px”]

BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector ($30)- After a long night of studying for that impossible chemistry test, the bags under your eyes may seem large enough to need a luggage cart. Infused with ultra fine illuminators, this under eye corrector instantly brightens your eyes and blurs imperfections, without settling into fine lines or wrinkles even after a long day of procrastinating on that English paper.[spacer height=”20px”]

Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain ($30)- Packaged using an easy-to-use, portable design, this cheek and lip stain provides a soft, sheer glow that lasts the whole day, with buildable coverage and a rosy color that transforms any makeup look.[spacer height=”20px”]

Dry Skin[spacer height=”10px” id=”2″]

bareMinerals COMPLEXION RESCUE Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream ($29.50)- The eternal struggle for any person with dry skin is finding a product that provides enough hydration and coverage to last the whole day. With ingredients such as marine botanicals, coconut derivatives, and water-encapsulations, this multi-tasking gel cream combines hydration with natural-looking coverage, resulting in softer, smoother skin-even when you’re not wearing it.[spacer height=”20px”]

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer ($29)- Often used to correct, contour, highlight, and perfect by countless beauty gurus, this concealer can be used for just about anything by anyone, but it is especially useful for dry skin types. With a formula that brightens dark circles, blurs imperfections, reduces redness, and retains moisture, this product leaves skin looking radiant and natural while feeling comfortable and hydrated.[spacer height=”20px”]

CLINIQUE Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm ($23)- An Allure Best of Beauty winner, this cheek color is both creamy and oil-free, meaning that it’ll leave a natural-looking, luminous sheen on your cheeks without causing flaking or oil buildup. With a convenient and portable applicator design as well as a range of universally flattering shades, this is the perfect way to add a little color to your makeup routine.[spacer height=”20px”]

Lips[spacer height=”10px” id=”2″]

stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick ($24)- Reapplying your lipstick after an hour of wearing it has always felt frustrating yet unavoidable, but with this liquid lipstick, you’ll no longer have to take out your makeup every time you eat a student store cookie (although it’s totally worth it). Creamy, hydrating, and long-lasting, this lipstick offers high pigmentation without drying out the lips, instead leaving a soft texture and intense color that lasts for hours.[spacer height=”20px”]

NARS Audacious Lipstick ($32)- When it comes to solid lipstick, there are very few brands that offer the wide variety of colors that NARS does, let alone its high pigmentation and smooth feel. With color that lasts and feels comfortable through the day, you’ll want this creamy yet bold lipstick in every shade they have.[spacer height=”20px”]

Marc Jacobs Beauty Enamored Hi-Shine Gloss Lip Lacquer Lipgloss ($28)- If you want a glossier look with the same intense pigmentation, look no further than this high-shine lipgloss from Marc Jacobs. As an Allure Best of Beauty winner, the combination of lasting color and incredible shine leaves lips with brilliant color and a plump look.[spacer height=”20px”]

Eyes[spacer height=”10px” id=”2″]

tarte Tarteist Double Take Eyeliner ($24)- The ultimate sculptor for on-the-go, this dual-ended eyeliner features two versatile, long-lasting formulas in both waterproof liquid and pencil forms. Whether you’re looking for a smooth, full eye look that enhances the appearance of your lashes, a sculpted, crisp wing made with hydrating, quick-dry formula, or a look that combines both, this tool is a must-have for quick mornings.[spacer height=”20px”]

MAKE UP FOR EVER Smoky Stretch Lengthening & Defining Mascara ($24)- Mascara is capable of changing your entire look, helping you seem more well-rested, awake, and put-together than you actually are. This mascara from MAKEUP FOR EVER features a non-clumping formula combined with an innovative comb brush design that creates optimal definition and separation, resulting in longer, fuller lashes that still look natural.[spacer height=”20px”]

Benefit Cosmetics Goof Proof Brow Pencil Easy Shape & Fill ($24)- Some people argue that brows can make or break you, but sometimes they can be impossible to perfect, especially at 7 AM when you realize you slept through your alarm. With this easy-to-use brow pencil, you can achieve a long-lasting, polished, and defined look with the pencil’s waterproof formula and pointed design.[spacer height=”20px”]

During the Day

MILK MAKEUP Cooling Water ($24)- Milk Makeup is known for being an eco-conscious, innovative makeup line with conveniently portable and easy-to-use products, with this gel stick being no exception. With a sea water and caffeine formula, this stick provides instant hydration and cooling to any area that you apply it to, but can help de-puff tired eyes and reduce redness and inflammation. Plus, it’s a great pick-me-up for when the routine of classes starts to get to you.[spacer height=”20px”]

Shiseido Pureness Oil-Control Blotting Paper ($18.50)- The weather and humidity in South Florida can be brutal for people trying to keep their oil under control throughout the day, and for this, I highly recommend blotting papers. These powder-covered sheets absorbs excess oil and shine for a fresher look and longer-lasting makeup. Shiseido offers them in a portable pouch that you can store in your backpack for when the humidity is unforgiving.[spacer height=”20px”]
