Click through to get inspired for your first day back in class!

Try a dark plum lipstick for a sultry look for your first day back at school. 

 Update your summer look with this blue hue for the fall. We particularly like it against her berry lip.

Not ready to commit to a bob? Pin up your hair like Rachel Bilson for a faux-cropped look. 

Don't worry about going darker in the fall. Let you hair preference shine through!

If you slept through the alarm, don't worry about washing your locks. Dirty hair actually holds braids better! 

Spice up any look with a cheeky hair accessory. 

Bold brows against lighter hair can be a good thing. 

Bronze eyes and pink  lips are the perfect combo for the first day. 

This mauve cheek is the perfect blush color for your first day back. 

If you try one new thing for the first day of school it should be a sassy new nail art design. 

Let your roots grow out for a punky style on the first day. 

A bubblegum pink lip is just the thing to catch the eye of that cute guy in your History class. 

Just because the summer is over, doesn't mean you have to abandon your favorite summer style.

Classic and simple. A loose ponytail is all you need to accessorize your fall wardrobe. 

For a quick and simple look, just throw your hair into a messy top knot. 

Peach blush and lip stain is the perfect way to highlight your beachy blonde locks. 

All it takes is a pin to update your hair from drab to fab. 

Be sure to keep that bronzed glow for the first day! 

Contrast your black liner with an orange pop. 

Use brown shadow around your eyes for a daytime smokey eye. 

Don't be afraid to match your eyeshadow to your lipstick. 

Headbands are no longer just for little kids. Don't be afraid to try one on the first day. 

It may be fall, but that doesn't mean that frizz and humidity are over. Don't be afraid to let your true curls fly. 

Don't be afraid to tease your hair for a bigger impact. 

A matte finish on your lips is the best way to go once the weather starts to cool down. 

Don't be afraid to make a drastic change right before the first day. 

Highlight your bangs with this simple top knot. 

Don't be afraid to be bold when it comes to liner. 

A simple bun is sometimes all it takes. 

Middle parts are a great way to switch up your look. 

A nude lip is a great way to highlight your summer tan on the first day. 

A drastic wing is often the only makeup you need. 

A simple side chignon will be a guaranteed head turner.  

Don't be afraid to pull your hair back on the first day. It's a great way to highlight your other features. 

Sometimes a dramatic shadow can be a good thing. 

Twisting face-framing pieces and pinning them back away from your face is a great way to add a touch of youth to your look without looking like you're still stuck in middle school.

Frizz and curls are nothing to shy away from. 

A big bun is the perfect solution to any bad hair day. 

High ponytails are no longer just for cheerleaders. 

A subtle pink highlight is a great way to share your spunky side without going too far. 

Ask your stylist for some ombre highlights to give your darker fall color some dimension.  

Undercuts have become a huge trend this summer, and you'll be the coolest kid in school if you show up with this inspired Rihanna cut on the first day. 

Balance out your long hair with a new fringe cut before the first day of school. 

These blunt bangs may not be for everyone, but if you can pull them off you should definitely take the plunge. 

Try a leave-in conditioner before the first day for a shiny, healthy look. 

A dramatic side part is a great way to channel the summer while you're stuck in the classroom. 

Voluminous curls is a look that will take you from class to a party without a trip to the dorm. 

A textured braid is a great way to pull your hair back away from your face without looking sloppy. 

Try a bold lip hue to contrast with your hair color. We're not saying this hair color...but you get the point!

Nothing says the first day of school like a blunt pixie cut. Nothing will garner more attention on the first day.

As August dwindles down and September 1 is looming, there is a “back to school” chill in the air. And while we are very envious of all the co-eds heading back to school, the fact that we are stuck in the office hasn’t stopped us at browsing the web for some inspiring beauty looks. From plum lips to pixie cuts, these are the first day of school beauty looks that we would attempt if we were going back.

While the standard back-to-school prep involves a trip to the salon, a few new notebooks and a brand new wardrobe — we recommend being a bit more adventurous. Yes, maybe you’ll look back on some of these celebrity trends and hide the photos from your children. But these are your college years so why not buzz off a side of your head or dye your tips blue? Maybe these styles won’t work for everyone, but take a look at the slideshow above and we promise you’ll find at least one beauty trend worth testing out on your first day back.

    I’m totally inspired by these looks. I think I’m going to go with a textured fishtail braid or some loose waves from a curling iron!

    What ever happened to like, going to school and worrying about what you want to learn, and what you’re building on for the future!? instead of being superficial and worrying about your hair, nails, makeup, and latest fashion styles?
