Quick School Makeup Routine ( Drugstore/ Highstreet)

I'm going to try and write this post without rambling too much, sorry!

So I go to secondary school in the UK, and even though at some schools the rules are that you are not allowed to wear make up, you can at my school (yay)!


My Cath Kidston Makeup Bag which I keep my daily makeup in
 Obviously some days I switch up the coverage or lip colour or whatever, but this is normally what I put on in the mornings!



  • I start of with Soap & Glory's Peaches and Clean cleanser to get off any excess make up from the previous day (ew) and give my face a nice base.
  • So, firstly I  put on my Collection (2000) lasting perfection concealer - a high coverage concealer which is incredibly affordable!  (Sometimes I will apply a liquid foundation before this - however atm I prefer not to wear one)
  • I then use my Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder to set this concealer and prevent shine. Because I am at school all day, and might not be able to top it up, this is the best one I have found to last all day!
  • Then I gently dust Collection (2000) Blush So Pretty over my cheek bones to double up as a highlighter because of its gentle shimmers
  • I then go onto my eyebrows, but don't worry, just a slight filling of brown. I use an Avon ColourTrend brown pencil. I think that these define my face more, and are more flattering than my natural ones! I set this with a clear mascara but I have no clue where it is from! (sorry)
  • Then I move onto eyes. I firstly line my upper lash line with Topshop Black Kohl Pencil, sometimes with a flick and then the outer corner of my lower lash line.
  • 
    Left to right: Soap & Glory Thick and Fast, Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off
    
  • I take my Primark eyelash curlers (£1) and curl my lashes. I feel that these really help, and I never ever apply mascara without curling them first!
  • For mascara, I am currently switching between two. They are the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off or Soap & Glory's Thick and Fast mascara. Fortunately I have lashes which work well with most mascaras, but these both are very good!

  • For lips, I normally go quite plain, because quite frankly, I don't like topping it up during the day that often. Side note: does anyone else find it awkward applying make up at school, or just m? lol. Anyway, I normally go for either Vaseline or a Carmex, or Natural Collection Lipstick in Lotus (Sheer Natural).



When I actually leave for school, I normally just chuck my powder, mascara and lip product into my bag or my make up case in my bag!

    The soap& glory cleanser is reallly good! I havn't really tried that many others, but I do know that it doesn't sting your eyes (well not mine anyway) and it smells amazing! Also it doesn't leave much of a residue on your skin:) xxxxx
