Natural Looking Make-Up For School.

Thursday 8 September 2016

So a lot of people are back at school, college etc etc after the six week hols. When it was time for me to go back to school I always wanted to 'recreate' myself (this only started from about year 9, I never bothered with make up until then). I never wanted to go back looking the same as I did when I left. The only way I could switch it up was with a new hair cut, a new style which fitted in with my uniform (I did go through a scarf phase...even in summer *cringe*) or try out some new make up. My school was pretty strict about make up so I had to wear something natural looking which was a challenge to recreate differently every year.
Now, I have got slightly better at make up in the past couple of years so this is a look that I would wear if I was at school now and which should fit in with the school rules (if you have any). 

For base I think the Revlon Colour Stay has great coverage but still looks super natural and fresh. This is the foundation I wear nowadays but at school I used to wear the L'oreal True Match which is equally as good and slightly cheaper, win! 
To conceal the under eyes and spots I went for the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. This isn't very brightening, its better for the coverage and again is cheap and cheerful! I didn't set the foundation as I want to keep it fresh looking and not too thick. To shape my face I used the Clarins Bronzing Duo. I used the lighter side to carve out my cheek bones. There are cheaper alternative for bronzers like the Bourjois Bronzing Powder. I finished the base off with the Sleek Highlighting Palette, using the tiniest amount added it to the cheek bones and nose. I think this give the look a youthful and awake vibe. Oh, I almost forgot, blush!! I added Natural Collection Pink Cloud to my cheeks, adding to the youthful feel.

As for eyes I kept it extremely simple, adding a wash of Clarins mascara to the eyelashes. And brows you ask? I never used to do anything to mine at school... I was too afraid hahaha! But now I just comb them through adding Benefit Browzing to shape them.

Thats my take on the natural back to school look. 
What are your natural looking make up tips?

  5. This sounds like a really pretty makeup look, I love Clarins bronzers - especially their gigantic limited edition ones they bring out each summer. I have a cream blush from Natural Collection and I'm thoroughly impressed with it, it's crazy that it's so affordable
