Over the weekend, the New York Times published in its T Magazine an article by Sandra Ballentine entitled “Last Night’s Makeup.” It extols the beauty of “the leftover look”– in other words, falling asleep and smudging your old mascara, then waking up and just going with it.

For weekend wear, do what you like. On the runway, make a statement. But for the office, buy some makeup remover and stick it on your nightstand next to your bed at home to circumvent issues arising if and when you stay out too late on a school night. It’ll save you from dragging your “statement makeup” look into the office.

‘Nuff said.
