I'm so sorry for not replying sooner. It was a crazy weekend, but I have listened to you and have taken your advice to heart.
I am not from Southern CA; in fact I just moved here from central Illinois. I have dirty blonde hair, pretty fair skinned and no tan yet. I'm sure that will change soon; the weather is amazing out here.
I talked to a friend via email who loves wearing makeup and told her I wanted a fresh, but polished look for university. She gave me a list of basic things to start with and it coincided pretty well with the suggestions here (mascara, foundation/blush, lip gloss). I went to Sephora today and was very honest about my inexperience with makeup. I told the look I was going after and exactly what I wanted so I wouldn't be bombarded with products.
I ended up with a tinted moisturizer, lip butter with a bit of color, and black mascara. She showed me how to put it on and answered all of my questions. When she was done I didn't look drastically different, but my skin was more even toned and my eyes and lips looked more pronounced. Now I just need to practice it at home and I think I'll have a nice, polished look.
Now, I'm sure this will be a smaller problem because I'm a non-traditional student (older transfer), but the age of the university isn't exactly traditional either. Regardless, I want to thank you all for the honest advice and suggestions. Even if I don't get a bid, there are other groups I'd like to join and having a great, polished look can only help me make a good first impression!
