Does your BFF have a new work bud, former college gal pal who's back in town or other rando who has suddenly popped up on the scene? Chances are this newbie will find a permanent spot in your squad, so it behooves you to get in good with your friend's friends. We suggest creating a classic cat eye when meeting your bestie's pals. The classic eye makeup look has been around for decades and will instantly lend you an air of familiarity that'll disarm and charm anyone. Bonus: This look works just as well during the day as it does during the night. If you guys have scheduled the merging of your friend worlds for a daytime brunch, for instance opt for an understated kitten cat eye with an ever-so-slight flick. Meeting over cocktails in the evening? Add drama to your cat eye with a more exaggerated wing. Either way, we guarantee your eyes will be the only thing that's catty about your rendezvous.

Since, many grad school programs pool you with the same -- often small -- group of people for a number of years, it's especially important that you kick off your semester by making the right impression. After all, you're bound to partake in many collaborative projects as you pursue your degree. Try showing up to the first day of class with nude lips, which are all business. Then, perk up your eyes with some well-placed highlighter for a bright-eyed, bushy tailed look that lets your classmates know you're not the wait-till-the-last-minute type who pulls frantic all-nighters.
