I have to admit, I'm guilty of putting too much effort into how I look. Maybe it's a Latina thing. Every time I'm about to give up on my morning routine and I feel like just releasing my "untamed" self into the New York jungle, I hear my mother's voice say, "y tu piensas salir así a la calle?" and it feels like someone pouring a bucket of freezing water over my head.
That's why, when famous Latina makeup vlogger and influencer Laura Sanchez created this back-to-school look, I felt like she was talking directly to me. It's simple, easy, but extremely chic and feminine, making it perfect to show up to your first period and have your classmates wonder how you look so flawless. She used the products of her own recently-launched line, including Martini Prep ($29), a serum primer that gives you an instant lift and glow, and Moods ($35), a palette of shimmery combinations of matte and metallic eye shadow and highlighters.
This look is fun, youthful, and eye-catching, and won't take up all your morning, so you'll be in class bright and early, ready to take on the day!
