In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you choose to wear makeup at school, you'll want to stick to a quick and natural look. Start with a freshly washed face and apply a light foundation or tinted moisturizer all over to even out your skin tone. Don't choose heavy cakey foundations, since they'll wrinkle and crease throughout the day. Instead, stick with light coverage and a light dusting of powder. Pick a light pink or peach color, whatever will show up best on your skin tone, and apply it to the apples of your cheeks. Simply fill in your brows to accentuate your natural brow line. Then apply eye shadow in a neutral or natural shade. If you choose to wear eye liner, pick a dark brown, navy, or rose gold shade, depending on what works with your skin tone. Stark black liner may look too harsh for school. Finish your eye makeup with a swipe of mascara. Avoid wearing dark or metallic eye shadows which are better suited for evening or weekend looks. If you want to keep it on the simpler more natural side, pick a peach or pink lip gloss that you'll be able to easily reapply throughout the day. You can also choose a richer lipstick, but don't choose something too dark. Save darker and metallic colors for parties or the weekend.
Summary: Keep it simple. Apply blush. Focus on your eyes. Wear a cute lip gloss or lipstick.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Untie and unthread the laces from the lace holes in the shoe. Removing the laces will allow you to thoroughly scrub the tongue area of the shoe while cleaning. You could also clean the shoelaces later on, or just replace them. Smack the shoes together over a garbage can to knock off dirt and dust from the bottoms of the shoes. Then use a soft bristled brush to brush off any loose dirt particles and impurities on the canvas areas of the shoes. An old toothbrush works great for removing dirt, especially for reaching into tiny crevices. Any mild detergent mixed with water will work as a cleaning solution. Gentle body soap, dishwashing soap, or a small amount of laundry detergent, are all viable options. For about a cup of water, consider using about a teaspoon of mild detergent. Use your old toothbrush to mix up the water and soap until some bubbles start to form. You could also use a small amount of bleach if your shoes are white, but be aware that bleach can potentially yellow the canvas fabric. A mild detergent is the safer bet. If you're planning on cleaning the laces rather than replacing them, drop the laces into the the cleaning solution. Allow them to soak in the solution for about 15 minutes. While you wait for the laces to soak, you can clean the actual shoe. Dip your old toothbrush into the soapy water mixture, and start scrubbing at the dirty areas of the shoe. Move the toothbrush in circles to thoroughly loosen the dirt and remove the stains. Continue dipping the toothbrush into the soapy water mixtures as you focus on other areas of the shoe. It's okay to saturate the canvas with the soapy water solution, but try your best to keep from getting the foot bedding of the shoe wet. If you get the foot bedding wet, it won't ruin your shoe, but it could cause damage after repeated saturation. You can rinse the canvas of the shoe by running it under a small stream of cool water from a faucet. A small stream will ensure you gently rinse off the soapy solution from the shoe without getting water into the inside of the shoe. After the laces have had time to soak, remove them from the soapy water solution. Use your old toothbrush to scrub away at the stains. Once you have scrubbed all the stained areas of the laces, rinse them in cool water. It may help to hold down the laces with your fingers on one hand, and focus on scrubbing a stained area with your other hand. Once the shoes and laces are cleaned, dab them dry with a paper towel to soak up any remaining water. Then allow the shoes and laces to dry naturally, outside in the sun. Drying shoes in the dryer can damage the adhesive on the shoe and shrink the canvas material.
Summary:
Remove the shoelaces. Remove surface dirt. Mix your cleaning solution. Soak the laces. Scrub the shoe. Rinse the shoe. Scrub the laces. Dry the shoes and laces.
