Back to school make up

Natural back to school make up look...

I'm going to show you the make up I use on a  day to day basis while at school. It's very light on your skin and doesn't move during the PE and dance I do throughout the day. This look is really quick and easy for in the morning and stays put all day which is good for if you don't take make up to school like me.

Before make up I moisturise my face with Simple Replenishing rich moisturiser. Some makeup dries your skin so a moisturiser before helps keep your skin hydrated all day.

Face

Firstly I apply Collection Lasting perfection conceler in the shade 02 light under my eyes on any spots and blemishes and around my nose. This is the conceler everyonr loves and I totally agree! Its good coverage but still light so its great for school. I then use the Collection pressed powder in the shade 10 Daydream to set the conceler and make sure it lasts all day. The next thing I like to do is put Models Prefere neutralising powder on my T-zone to cover oil that builds through the day. Im not sure this really works but I do it everyday and its only light so you have nothing to lose really. I apply the powders with my brush from Ted Baker.

Eyes

Eyes are kept very simple for this look. First I fill in my eyebrows with my Models Prefere eyebrow pencil. Then I curl my eye lashes because I have really long lashes and if I don't curl them everyday then they will end up in my eye some how which isn't fun! Then I apply a light coat of Benefit Bad Gal Lash mascara because it lasts all day and doesn't end up under your eye like some mascaras do. I have recently started using a tecnique that I saw on a youtube channel called DailyMix when they did a series called beauty boot camp. It is to put a highloghter in the corner of your eye and it really opens your eye and just makes you look more awake which is just what you want if like me you wake up at the last minute and end up rushing to get to the bus stop. I use Benefits highlighter called Highbeam. To make sure the highlighter blends into the eye lid from the corner I use the Models Prefere shading brush.

Lips

I think for school you should stay away from colour on your lips because that kind of defetes the point of a natural make up look. The UK finally have Maybelline Baby Lips so they are great for just adding a little bit of colour because they are just like a tinted lip balm. Mine is called Peach Kiss and is just a light shimmer. If you want some colour on your lips maybe for picture day or something, I recommend Models prefere lip stick in the shade Sheer Pink Rose.

Blush

This is a step that is just for if you have time to blend it in but its blush. This is Benefit Coralista and its just a pretty pink colour which again might be nice for picture day. 

As I said earlier I don't take make up to school except for a lipbalm and shine absorbing sheets which you will see in my next post- Whats in my school bag so look out for that!
