okay so i wear make-up and have extensions and i dont wake up that early. im a sophomore and im taking all honors and even an ap class. so i take care of the way i look and i manage to keep up with school. i am also involved in sports and extra curricular activities after school. it keeps me busy, but hey, what would i do instead? so you CAN look good and be smart/do good in school. since you dont wear make-up but would like to try it out, start with something fresh, like mascara and a brown eyeliner on you op lid. it wont look overwhelming, but classy and fresh. GOOD LUCK!

• Getting all done up for school seems a little more than pretentious. I think you have the right idea. And messy hair can be hot! You can throw it up in a messy ponytail, messy bun or two cute buns.
  
  People who do wear extensions and excessive makeup to school are definitely losing sleep. I'd rather have some beauty rest instead.
• You could wear eye makeup and still look natural, like mascarra and eyeliner and thats it :)
  
  Just put your hair up but so it looks messy and accessorize, ( earings, bracelets)

• bring a hairbrush to school with you.
  you can still have the natural makeup look while wearing some makeup. maybe a little eyeliner and mascara to make your eyes look bigger and more awake. some lipgloss too (:
  yes they most likely get up a little bit earlier.
• I wear extensions and makeup, and yes i do wake up early. I wake up at 6:00 am to be out the door by 7:15 - 7:30 am.
  
  If you don't want all of that, just straighten your hair or curl it, and use a little makeup !
  
  Girl you can be smart and beautiful ;)
• WASH YOUR THEN BLOW DRY OR AIR DRY THEN GREASE YOUR SCAPE THEN PART AND SMALL SECTION THEN FLAT IRON THEN RAP YOUR HAIR AN SPRAY IT WITH OIL SHEEN AND THEN TIE IT DOWN
• type into youtube '5 mins school make up bubzbeauty'
• Show moar cleavage
• Yes those girls do get up to have a longer time to get ready. And they probably have been doing it so long they have a routine. You should figure out a routine that you can do in the morning to look good and try to make it short so you don't have to wake up to early. If you straighten you hair, which i do. Do it the night before so you don't have to spend all morning doing it. When i wake up i spend 5-10 brushing my teeth and washing my face I spend 15 on my outfit to make sure it looks good and can work with the day Im having. and then spend 5 to 10 minutes on your makeup. Figure out something that works and you will eventually get used to doing it and it will just be another part of your day.
• get up half an hour early, and say 7 and erm straighten your hair, you dont have to wear extensions.. but if you straighten it, it should stay straight all day.. you can leave it loose, or if your worried about it getting messy.. get a hairband and scrape it back and put it in a pony tail, if you have good skin just wash it and leave it but if your skin needs a bit of help use some foundation you can good ones from boots.. use dream matte mouse you can apply it quickly. then just get a regular mascara, you can use any you want! but rimmel ones are really good, just put some on your top lashes, then get a lipgloss.. a clear or pink one and apply it! this should help if you just get up 30-40 minutes earlier every morning you should have enough time to look nice! and btw, the longer you keep it up.. the better you will get at it so you wont have to spend as long on it.. so you can get up later!
• Wearing makeup and caring about your appearance for school doesn't actually take that much time, I've got to say though, extensions really aren't needed, at all, let alone for school. I wear makeup and straighten my hair every day, and it takes me 50 minutes to be out of the door after waking up.
  I spend 15 minutes on my hair, 10 on my makeup, 10 eating breakfast, and 15 doing other things such as cleaning my face and brushing my teeth, although it seems like people take ages getting ready, after a while, it doesn't because you'll get so used to getting ready you get quicker at it. Wearing makeup and spending time on your appearance, doesn't make it so that you have to compromise on schoolwork, I'm an A/A* grade student, and I do fine even with spending time on what I look like. If you don't really want to wear that much makeup, I'd recommend wearing a bit of mascara, clear lipgloss, light powder and blusher. Because, it doesn't look unnatural, and really doesn't take very long, I wear more than this, and like I said, I only spend 10 minutes on my makeup. Try straightening your hair, or, if you don't want to, try putting your hair up in a messy bun or ponytail. Also, you could try clipping back the front of your hair in some way (could try a quiff) and leaving your hair down, as even when hair is messy, it usually looks fine as long as the front looks good, also, to free up sleep time, wash your hair the night before, as it means that you don't actually have to wake up early. Good luck!
