Back To School || Quick and Easy Make up

Whether you're starting a new school, college, university or just another year, it can be scary yet very exciting. However, if you are like me, not much of a morning person and dread having to get up early and need a quick and easy make up routine, I can help you out. 

STEP 1: BASE
For a clean, yet not cake face, I would recommend to use Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation. I apply a very small amount onto my beauty blender, then buff and blend it outwards to give my face an airbrushed effect. However, if you are more fortunate and already have a clear complexion or prefer not to apply foundation, then I would use a concealer: either Collection Lasting Perfection or Rimmel Wake Me Up . Apply a generous amount of the product underneath your eyes to cover the dark circles, and on any 
breakouts or blemishes you may have. To set this, use a light translucent powder. 

STEP 2: CHEEK COLOUR
To appear more awake than you may actually feel, you can add a bit of colour to your cheeks, to give you a natural, gorgeous flush that you want. Use a blush brush to apply a rosy pink or peachy coloured blush. I've recently been loving bourjours blush in the shade 54 forested rose. 

STEP 3: THE PERFECT NUDE LIP
Lips play an important role in a natural make up look. If your school has a make up rule, then a nude lip would go down unnoticeable, keeping you out of trouble but also looking your best. Always start by moisturising your lips, this will keep the lipstick on for much longer. Then, I recommend the MAC lipstick in the shade Creme Cup, and apply a light coat to your lips.
