Make-up for school I’ve found has
always been so controversial. Those girls that would stare and bitch because
you forgot to blend out your foundation that day, yeah we can’t deny we all had
those days ladies…
There would always be one girl
who massively over drew her eyebrows on and sometimes even her lips too
(admittedly I think I was that girl). But girls don’t worry because
secondary/high school is all a gigantic make-up learning curve. And oh boy have
I learned a thing or two!
Today I’m going to share with you
girls some top products for school and if you want me to do a tips and tricks
post let me know in the comments!
First things first you’ll need an
utterly cute make-up bag, why? You just do girls don’t argue with me now! I
always like to have a separate compartment in my makeup bag to home my bobby
grips and a cute little compact mirror so I can keep an eye on when I’m looking
too shiny or if my lipstick is patchy.
Now as teenagers we suffer with
acne, acnes scars or just that pesky spot that decides to pop up on photo day.
Maybelline’s fit me concealer is ever so cheap and has the most amazing
coverage. You can wear it as a ‘foundation’ or as back up to help cover up
unwanted things.
I use collections concealer to
brighten under my eyes because come on… who doesn’t look like a zombie on a
school morning?
Estee Lauders foundation, looking
for full coverage? This product always has my back, well my face but still.

MAC’s mineralize skin finish is
such a beautiful light powder, yet it adds amazing coverage and gives the most
flawless finish! If you are just starting out with make-up I really recommend
this product.
MAC’s fix plus, now… This product
is my newest school trick and life in general. Have you ever over applied your
foundation, concealer, and blusher? Had to remove your whole face and start
over? Then missed your school bus and got a bullocking at school? I can sure
tell you that was 90% of my time at school. Simply spray this on your face when
you look cakey and BAM magic it all merges and your make-up will honestly look
flawless.
Now these two products are for
the slightly older girls or with a bit more experience (as I would personally
recommend anyways). Contouring, I don’t really recommend this for school but if
you have a photo day or something important sometimes its nice to make a little
more effort! I would recommend L’Oreals highlighter, it blends so fast and
easily just like a dream and I would also recommend Bourjois bronzer as it
creates such a lovely, natural shadow to the face.
Eyebrows, now you don’t really
want to spend tones of money on filling them in as its only a small job for
school. I recommend the eyebrow palette by Vivo which is sold at Tesco’s! Super
cheap and perfect for first timers.
Currently I love Lancome
mascara’s so I just had to recommend them. But for a cheaper option go for the
Miss Manga mascara by L’Oreal, the perfect dupe for Benefit’s They’re Real (and
that’s a massive compliment L’Oreal)
Eyeliner can make or break a face
whether its done right or not. L’Oreal’s superliner collection is amazing and
there is so many to choose from, so you can find something that is really easy
for you to use!
Lips, again something you don’t
really need for school but sometimes its nice to make a little more effort.
MAC’s crème cup is a beautiful pink shade, the texture is moisturizing and it
lasts for hours, literally! Lip pencils
are also amazing because they will last you a whole school day easily or if you
want something really simple there’s no harm in just wearing a pretty lip-gloss
on its own!
