Hey guys!
It's getting to the time we all dread, going back to school. In a couple of weeks, the uniform will emerge from my wardrobe and the early mornings will begin. To help you guys out a little bit, I thought I would share with you some school friendly, affordable makeup products. Fortunately, my school doesn't have any rules against makeup but if yours do, you will be able to get away with wearing the majority of these products so don't you worry!
For foundation, there are two that I love, Rimmel Match Perfection and Rimmel Wake Me Up. Rimmel Match Perfection is lighter coverage so I would recommend this if you do have rules against makeup, this will give you just the right amount of coverage without being too full on. Rimmel Wake Me Up is slightly higher coverage, so if you are insecure about your skin and feel you need that coverage without breaking the bank, I would recommend this.
Concealer, I also have another two to share with you. The Collection Lasting Perfection concealer has amazing coverage and covers spots and under eye circles extremely well. Also, the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer is amazing, although not as high coverage, still has a beautiful finish on the skin.
With eyeshadow, I would recommend easy to blend/to apply products. If you want to go down the cream route, the Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24 Hour eye shadows are amazing, they have incredible lasting power. I would recommend either Pink Gold or Creamy Beige. If you want powder eye shadow either NYC or MUA palettes are incredible and have some gorgeous colours.
If you like eyeliner, which I do, here are some recommendations for you. If you want liquid eye liner then I would recommend either Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner or Soap & Glory Supercat Eyeliner Pen, they both are very easy to apply and have very good lasting power. If you are more of a kohl girl, I would go for the Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Liner. I love to wear kohl pencil in my waterline just to add a little something, and in my upper inner rims if I'm wearing liquid eye liner.
Now for brows. I am a huge brow girl so this step is important to me. If you like powders I would just find any matt eye shadow which is similar to your eye brows in the drugstore, there are many available. I love the Soap & Glory Brow Archery but that is £10, so if you can't stretch that far the Revlon Brow Fantasy is amazing. It has a tinted gel on one end and a pencil on the other.
Blusher & Bronzer, for blusher I would 100% recommend Sleek blushes, they are amazing and not too pricey as well as having a huge colour range. For bronzer I love the Body Shop Honey Bronzer even though it's on the pricier side, it's amazing for school as it is very light but contours cheek bones beautifully. Sleek also do bronzers so if you can't stretch to that I would go for those.
For lips, I always like my lips to be moisturised so balms are your best friend. I love the Soap & Glory Might Mouth Lip Balm, it's so hydrating and has a gorgeous vanilla scent. But if you're looking for something more on the tinted side, I would either go for Revlon Lip Butters or Maybelline Baby Lips. Both are hydrating with that touch of colour.
I really hope you enjoyed reading this and that it helped you out!
