Back-to-school doesn't always conjure up the greatest feelings. With classes, homework, and permanently setting an alarm on your phone for 6 a.m., it's easy to get bummed out as fall approaches. That said, back-to-school also means back-to-school shopping. And no brand new, first-day-of-school outfit would be complete without brand new makeup. Whether you set aside an hour to prep for school or wake up with negative five minutes to spare, we've got the simple and fresh looks to try out for the new year.

Bright Lip

One of the easiest ways to spice up your makeup with minimal effort is a bright lip. Try the COVERGIRL Outlast Longwear Lipstick in "phantom pink" with a swipe of COVERGIRL Colorlicious Lip Lava in "mango" on top.

Pastel Shadow

Dust some light shadow from the "va-va violets" COVERGIRL Eye Shadow Quad for a fresh look that will give you the perfect pop of color.

Just The Lashes

For a simple, eye-catching look, use The Super Sizer by Lashblast Mascara then glide a thin line of Intensify Me! Liquid Liner in black along your lids.
