00:00Okay, let's be honest. We all have those mornings where we wake up, look in the mirror and just think,
00:05why does my face look like a pepperoni pizza? Like my skin's breaking out, my hair is giving
00:11electrocuted, and somehow my under eyes are giving, I haven't slept since 2012. But babes,
00:18don't panic because I got you. Today, I'm showing you my realistic, no BS, blow-up routine for
00:25school. And no, this isn't one of those fake drink water and suddenly you're hot type of videos.
00:31Nope. These are just real tips that will make you look prettier, cleaner, and more put together,
00:37even when you literally overslept. So sit tight and let's turn your tired, half-awake self into
00:43the main character that makes people say, wait, when did she get so pretty? First things first,
00:50the second you wake up, don't touch your phone. I know the urge to scroll is real,
00:55but that's how you lose 20 minutes doing absolutely nothing. Instead, open your curtains,
01:01let that sunlight hit your face, and splash cold water on your skin. This will instantly wake you
01:06up and give your skin that natural morning glow. Bonus tip, keep a cute water bottle beside your
01:11bed and drink from it first thing. This will hydrate you and help improve your overall mental performance.
01:16Now it's skincare time, and please don't overcomplicate it. You don't need a 10-step
01:24Korean skincare routine right before the bus comes. You just need the non-negotiables.
01:30First, wash your face. Use a gentle cleanser to get last night's skincare and sleep out of your
01:35pores. And girl, don't go scrubbing your face like you're scouring a pan. Secondly, moisturize.
01:41hydrated skin is glowy skin. It's that simple. Even if you have oily skin, you still need to
01:47moisturize. If not, your skin will produce more oil, and that will lead to it breaking out. Also,
01:53find a light moisturizer that won't make your skin look greasy by lunch. And finally, sunscreen.
01:59This is non-negotiable. Why? The sun can be pretty damaging to the skin by secretly causing wrinkles
02:05and dark spots. So you need to put on sunscreen to help shield your skin and preserve your glow.
02:12You don't need a full glam to look good for school. The goal is to look like a prettier,
02:17more refreshed version of yourself. First, tame your brows with a clear gel. But if you don't have a
02:23clear gel, you can just brush them up without one. This will make your face look instantly more put
02:29together. Next, if your school allows mascara, then you can apply it onto your lashes to make them look
02:34fuller. But if mascara is not allowed, then use a clean mascara wand to brush up your lashes. And for
02:41your lips, a tinted lip balm or a gloss is fine. Okay, I don't care what anyone says, but your hair
02:49changes everything. Even if your face card is top tier, if your hair's greasy or rough, it ruins the vibe.
02:57So here's what you're going to do. Wash your hair the night before school so it has time to settle.
03:03And if you are the type to be in a hurry that school morning, then sleep with your hair in a loose
03:08braid so you'll wake up with cute natural waves. Also, here are some other hairstyles you can try
03:14if you're running late for school. One, the claw clip. Just tie your hair at the bottom several times,
03:20pull half of it up, twist and clip. It takes 10 seconds and looks instantly aesthetic. Two,
03:27the slick bun. Part your hair in the middle and tie your hair into two different buns. Then join them
03:32together in the middle. This will instantly give you the clean girl look. And for my black girls,
03:37make sure to wash your hair during the weekends and braid them into any hairstyle that makes you look
03:43and feel good. You can try hairstyles like cornrows, twist out or sideburns. Now, let's glow up your outfit.
03:53Listen, if your school has a uniform, make sure it's well ironed. I know I sound like your mom, but a crisp,
04:00clean uniform automatically makes you look 10 times more put together. But if no uniform, make sure to pick
04:07your outfit the night before. I'm serious. Stand in front of your closet for five minutes before you
04:13go to bed and save your future self distress. And trust me, it's not about having a million clothes.
04:19It's about having a few key pieces that make you feel confident. A great pair of jeans, a cute skirt,
04:26and a few tops that make you look amazing. Also, you can add one simple accessory like some dainty
04:31necklaces or earrings to elevate your whole look. And perfume. Girl, don't skip the perfume. You don't
04:38have to buy expensive ones. Just find a soft, sweet scent that fits your vibe. Smelling good equals
04:44instant confidence boost. Now, this is the secret sauce nobody talks about. You can have the best
04:52outfit and perfect skin, but if your posture is giving shrimp and your vibe is off, then it's not a full
05:00glow up. So stand up straight, shoulders back, chin up. Not only does this make you look taller and more confident,
05:07but it also makes your clothes hang better. And on your way to class, instead of staring at the floor,
05:13make eye contact and give a small smile. It makes you seem friendly and approachable. So yeah, that's my
05:19realistic glow up routine for school. No fancy products, no unrealistic morning routines, just simple
05:26habits that made me feel and look so much better. And remember, glowing up isn't just about looking
05:32good. It's about feeling good, being confident, and showing up as your best self every single day.
