I’ve always loved the promise September brings. Even on the first day back to school I would be delirious at the scent of my new pencil case, protractor, compass… (I still ended up being useless at geometry but that’s not the point). Anyway, beauty could take a cue from this ethos. September is a great time to get a new makeup bag (or at least clean the one you have with gusto) and fill it with fresh new basics – a lipstick, concealer, blush, brow gel and some mascara. There. You’re all set for the new term.
