    Ok, so I know this is wayyyy later than the original posting date, however I had a few questions. I'm in college am 19. I wanted to go for a very natural look, with just shimmery powder and such. I usually wear foundation, and mascara and that's it. If I want to do anything with my eyes I'll do a pink ish nude color all over, brown in the crease and a darker color on the lid and that's the extent of my makeup. I just don't have a clue haha. Anywho, I was wondering if you could do a blog post for college-aged girls, that wasn't too crazy. I don't like the super glammed up look unless I have a formal or something. Thanks! And sorry for being soo long winded. Must of been all those term papers ;) - love nicole.
