5 Makeup Products That You Will Love In 2021

Makeup products in 2021 not only need to be light-weight and durable, but they also need to be able to withstand the effects of wearing a mask on your face. "Mascne" is a common term that has recently been invented to describe the acne caused by the mask protection during the pandemic. Products that don't cause breakouts and also have lasting wear are important to discover in our current climate.

Foundation is not the only makeup step that is negatively impacted by masks: lipstick, lipgloss, bronzer, blush and powder are also important products to invest in in 2021.

1. IT cosmetics CC-cream foundation

As I have said before and will never stop saying, IT cosmetics CC-cream foundation is the perfect everyday medium coverage product. It comes in many different shades and is long-lasting even under a mask. The Foundation also has 50+ SPF and a light-weight feel for day-time wear.

2. Glossier Lip Gloss

Glossier's Lip gloss in crystal clear is the perfect moisturizing everyday gloss for wear under a mask. The product absorbs quickly on your lips and will not leave marks on your mask due to its sheer finish. The gloss provides the perfect natural glimmer without being overbearing in day-light and can also be used in place of a chapstick in my personal opinion.

3. Milk's Lip and Cheek Stick

Milk makeup's Lip and Cheek stick comes in a variety of different shades depending on how blushed you liked to look, and I have been using this product excessively during these winter months. Wearing the same shade on both my lips and cheeks compliments a complexion with uniformity so well. This product is also pretty affordable in comparison to other blush stick products running at $15.00. The stick should also last a long while since a little goes a long way.

4. Becca Cosmetics Highligther

I have always been big on liquid highlighter, but because of wearing masks while in public, often times the product will rub off leaving a messy finish on my face. I recently ordered the Becca Cosmetics shimmering skin perfector pressed on highlighter and am completely obsessed! It is an incredible amount of glitter and shine without making my face look cakey. It will also last all day and is sold online for order at Sephora.

5. Neutrogena Pressed Powder

Finally, my holy grail of products in 2021 will be my Neutrogena pressed powder. I am typically more on the oily spectrum of skin types and this easy to grab product has saved me! I am constantly overproducing sweat on my face due to the mask no matter the temperature outside. The Neutrogena Healthy Skin pressed powder is easy to pack with you wherever you go and for touch-ups when you are socially distanced from those around you and are able to. It is sold at drug-stores and is more on the affordable side.

I wish I was able to be a "no make-up" vibe person especially when it comes to wearing a mask all day anyway, but wearing make-up brings me confidence which is why these products help me to not have to sacrifice what I love.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
