5 Life-Changing Makeup Hacks That'll Have You Questioning Your #OnPoint Daily Routine

Need some beauty tips that will enhance your morning routine? Then I suggest you continue reading:

1. My first tip is to use concealer on your eyelids before applying eyeshadow if you don't have eyeshadow primer.

In college, saving money is a BIG deal. Being able to use one product for two purposes is helpful. If you're traveling and forgot your eyeshadow primer or you don't want to spend money on another product, use concealer instead. The concealer will give the same effect as the primer by allowing it to last longer and brightening the colors.

2. Apply powder highlight on top of cream highlight to get an amazing, irresistible glow!

If you're having a night out or even going to a concert, this technique works wonders. The powder highlight on top of the cream highlight will give a longer lasting and brighter glow that everyone is searching for.

3. Don't have the right color foundation? Mix foundations for the perfect color match.

I know we all have those foundation colors that are too dark or too light. After summer is over, the tan starts to fade and you become pale again or vice versa. If this is an issue for you, try mixing the two foundations (depending on the season). You won't have to spend more money on another foundation color that will end up getting stuff back into a drawer.

(Also, another good tip; if you have a light color foundation and the summer glow starts to appear, add some bronzer to your everyday look).

4. Use more than one type of mascara (it could be a life changer).

For me, my daily go-to is mascara, no matter what I'm doing. It is definitely a staple and cannot go without being done. I use a volumizing mascara with a large spoolie brush after I curl my eyelashes. Then I use a smaller spoolie brush to make sure my eyelashes are similar pigment.

5. Use setting spray on eyeshadow brushes before applying sparkly eyeshadow, it will help the sparkle stick.

This technique is one of the most useful beauty hacks I have learned. Applying setting spray on an eyeshadow brush before putting eyeshadow on will make the sparkles stick better to your eyelid.

I hope these tips help next time you're on a budget or in need of beauty updates.

PSA: Always, always, always take your make up off every night before bed. This is the most important part of keeping your skin healthy!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
