Hello Mally,
Firstly, I would like to wish you the best of luck for your examinations, and hope to see you pass! Examination weeks are always stressful aren't they? I find a week or to prior to the examination week, I have a continuous amount of blackheads and pimples, generally due to my hormones (and lack of sleep hehe) going through the roof! If you have this same problem you're probably best to try my examination make up routine! Mind you, my makeup routine for university is fairly minimal as I'm normally in a hurry to get to my university as I live 2 hours away.

So here's a list of what I do.
1) Prime and use a medium coverage foundation, - this is for all those breakouts from the increase in hormones
2) use a lighter concealer roller ball (I.e. Garnier's roller ball concealer) under my eyes and blend - this is for my tired eyes from studying
3) set with a translucent powder - this is done to set the make up all day and eliminate an oily t zone
4) Curl lashes and add one coat of mascara - this is done just to make myself look a bit more awake

That's what I normally do when I go to university, as I have to leave my house about 4.30 am to make the train. it's quite simple and can be used for your examinations week.

Once again Mally, I wish you the best of luck for your up comming examinations. Study Hard!

I get up super early too and I wrap my hair up before bed I twist it up into a bun so in the morning I have beach waves or I can squirt water n give it a scrunch for a more curly look. For makeup I cleanse and moisturize then put concealer round my eyes then translucent powder then bronzer which I sweep across cheekbones eyes forehead and frame the face fill in eyebrows then some tasty lip balm but I usually lick all of it off before I leave the house and then I apply lipstick at before I start my lessons :) very simple but I use a lot if oils and natural remedies on my face and skin so that I can get away with doing so little :) good luck on your exams girl and don't worry too much about how you look

Keep it simple - when I only have like 15 mins or so to get ready before school this is my simple makeup routine - start with a clean face n moisturize/prep/prime/cover with a cc or bb cream that has spf too - then cover any problem areas (like dark circles) with a full coverage concealer - follow up with a translucent setting powder (I like tarte smooth operator) to set the face (skip these if you don't need the coverage) then fill in the brows quickly with powder n set with brow gel, then mascara, blush n lip color/gloss and all done - literally takes like 15-20 mins or less if you skip the concealer - for hair I just go natural - I have wavy hair so just mousse while wet n let dry overnight in the morning just scrunch it with some hairspray n maybe straighten my bangs n good to go - altogether my routine takes me 30-45 mins tops.

On my lazy days I use primer, BB cream, nude eyeliner, mascara, highliter, translucent powder, and chapstick. It's simple and gives a natural look. It's my " no makeup " look.

Do a messy bun and then a very natural makeup.
