(NBC NEWS) – More young Americans are opting for a rental fee instead of a shopping spree. Fashionpass is one of the growing number of clothing rental services for clothing. “It’s like sharing a closet with your best friend if your best friend was the trendiest coolest blogger,” says founder and CEO Brittany Johnson. You get to pick new styles for just about any occasion, along with accessories, and then when you’re done just ship them back. It’s a movement fueled by younger generations who feel the pressure to stay trendy on social media and never get caught in the same outfit twice.

That’s why StyleWise style editor Jon Jordan is here to help you figure out what’s best for your face. You’ll often see skincare products that are either opaque or clear. Lotions that are cream-based and heavy are the opaque options, and products that are see-through are a little lighter on your skin. Jordan said that, depending on your preferences, one option is better than the other when it comes to your skin. The same can be applied to a lot of other beauty products, such as shampoo, conditioner and even facial mists.

Even if the school year starts from home, you’ll want to look the part and feel good in your clothes. The fashion experts at Sun & Ski Sports helped break down the following personality types and offer suggestions. Your style is probably a little bit throwback, a little bit vintage, and it changes, depending on your mood. It’s edgy (just like you), it’s true to form, and regardless of the season, there are no questions about what brands you’ll want to wear and the styles you’ll rock. You’re probably not thinking much about style, per se, but you still want to look good.

Putting on fake eyelashes might be foreign territory for you, but don’t lash out too quickly -- we’ve got you covered on the best tips and trades to applying a fake eyelash for any fun night out on the town. There are different ways to extend your eyelashes to maximum volume, but StyleWise style editor Jon Jordan suggests going with the good old fashioned fake eyelash. Some people don’t like the glue that goes on the eyelid, so they might opt out for a lash extension put on by a professional, but if you’re cool with applying the glue yourself, fake eyelashes can be fun and effective at upgrading your look. A classic fake eyelash will surely get the job done, but there has been some innovation in the fake eyelash world, and there are a lot of great products out there that let you have more control over how much of the fake eyelash goes on your face. To learn about that, and so much more, watch the latest StyleWise video above, and make sure you subscribe to StyleWise so you never miss a video.
