School Makeup Routine | January 2017

When I go to school I wear different makeup to what I would wear when I'm not at school so I thought I would share my school makeup routine. I also have a few new makeup products that I picked up recently to share with you and I'll included my opinions on the products when I get to them. 

So firstly I start with foundation and the foundation I'm currently using is the Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation and I recently picked it up from Boots and I love it. It's perfect for school because it's quite natural and it gives a low-medium coverage which is what I want for school. What I do is pump some onto my blending sponge, dab it onto my face and then blend it in with a foundation brush and if I have to go back in with the blending sponge; yes I know that's a weird way to apply and blend in foundation.

Then for concealer I will use the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and use that for my under eye circles and also any spots. I've had this forever and I'm using it up as I don't think it's that good as it doesn't last and it's all gone by midday so I'm waiting to use my Rimmel concealer. I apply this by using a concealer brush then going in with my blending sponge.

I will then powder my face using the Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder and I do like this powder but I want to try some others to see what ones I really like. I apply using a powder brush from Studio London.

The last product from the face category is blush and my new favourite blush is from MAC and is the MAC Powder Blush in Fleur Power. It's such a lovely colour and looks really natural and it lasts all day, something which my Makeup Revolution blushes didn't do. I apply this using a Studio London brush.

I don't do much with my eyes apart from mascara and I'm still using the Maybelline Go Extreme Waterproof Mascara and I didn't really like it at first but I do like it now after wearing it for quite a while. This isn't really that natural so I have to try not to put on too much. 

For the lips I don't wear any lip product because I don't want to keep applying it as that's annoying throughout school so I just wear lip balm and at the moment my favourite lip balm is the eos Pomegranate Raspberry Lip Balm and it's really moisturising and it's got a nice scent.

That is my school makeup routine and yes I know I don't wear that much but I like to keep my makeup natural and also who can be bothered in the morning to do winged liner because I know I can't.

Everyday Makeup Routine | January 2017

Today I'm back with a new post and it's going to be an everyday makeup routine because I don't normally do tutorials but I do want to start doing some more in 2017 and to start off it's good to show you what I wear on a regular basis. I don't also wear all of this to school and if you want a School Makeup Look let me know in the comments below.

Firstly starting off with face makeup and my first step is foundation. The foundation I'm using at the moment is the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Anti-Fatigue Foundation in 103 True Ivory and I have done a review on that so go and have a read if you haven't already. After blending that in with my Beauty Blender and a foundation brush I go onto concealer and I'm using the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in 3 Warm Medium; I do like this concealer but it doesn't last all day, even with powder. I will then set my foundation and concealer with the Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder in 001 Transparent and I really like it. Moving onto blush I will use the Makeup Revolution London Ultra Blush Palette in Sugar & Spice and everyday I wear a different shade depending on what mood I'm in. After blusher it's bronzer and I use the Collection Bronze Glow Mosaic Powder in 2 Radiant and this is for a little shine. 

At the moment I'm not using any eyeshadow because my eyeshadow palette smashed and I'm not too keen on the other ones in my collection so I need to get a new one. Anyway I use the Rimmel London Brow This Way Brow Styling Gel in 004 Clear just to set my eyebrows and on my eyelashes I use the Maybelline New York The Colossal Go Extreme Waterproof Mascara and this isn't really that natural but I like bold lashes.  

Lastly we have lips. I moisturise them using the Vaseline Lip Therapy in Cocoa Butter and I usually do this before I start my makeup but I do forget sometimes. For colour on my lips I might wear the Collection Moisturising Lip Butter in Paper Rose and I wear this because it's natural while also moisturising the lips.

That's my everyday makeup routine and as I mentioned at the start of this blog post I don't wear all of this makeup to school so if you want a school makeup routine let me know in the comments below.
