Back to School series : Essential Make Up Products

Hey dolls !
So where I live we start school in about a months time. last year,  i started my first year of sixth form which to me had seemed so weird as before i didn't have to pick my outfit every morning or do my make up ... before it was soo much simpler just the usual old school uniform with no make up and  just a ponytail. But oh well starting a new chapter was one good and and amazing thing which help me grow soo much.

one of the biggest challenges when it came to dressing up to school was going my make up everything and trying to find the perfect balance between too much and too little. Well after loads of experimentation i found the perfect look!

Foundation 

  Well i have to say rimmel is one of my favorite make-up  brands - its relevantly cheap and quite good quality .. well all in all its worth the money! and as a student on a low budget this might be key. I particularly like this foundation because it doesn't give that cakey look which soo many people do without noticing. it is very light in texture and leaves you feeling fresh .. i consider it more of a tinted moisturizer. Another good feature of this product is that its oil free and for people like me who used to suffer from acne it's quite essential! Its is easily fund in a number of stores including : boots and superdrug.

Powder 

for powder again, i chose rimmel. i try not to put as much powder as i dont like feeling cakey all day long .. so all i do is apply a small amount using a brush or special sponge to set my liquid foundation and make my skin tone look more or less even. It is also quite cheap and commonly found. 

Concealer 

So i generally use concealer to cover up blemishes , highlight my brows and under eyes but most as a base on my eyelid. i personally think wearing eye shadow to school is a bit too much for me so i keep it simple. I have used both of these products shown above. The elf one has more of a liquid feel whilst the No7 is more of a cover stick. As regarding price the elf one is cheaper and can be bought online on their website: http://eyeslipsface.co.uk/en/restofworld/page/home for those living in the UK as i am aware that in america you can find the brand in local stores.  As regarding the No7 i am sure you can find it in boots and if i remember well it was about £7 which is quite good as it lasted me a long time! I blend it into my skin using my fingertips:P

Eyeliner 

for long days at school i prefer to wear gel eyeliner as it lasts much longer and doesn't smudge at all! the essence gel liner is relatively cheap in price and widely available. I usually apply this with either the elf concealer brush or the inglot eyeliner brush in 30T. besides applying it on my eyelid i also apply in my waterline which helps me get a more of a smokey eye feel.

Mascara 

And its rimmel again ! Sorry guys but i have to say i'm addicted :)  Both these mascaras make my lashes look huge and they are really cheap .. ranging between £7 -£10 which is amazing for a mascara with such good quality! for me its another student essential! I have tried a number of high end designer make up which dont do half the job .. so these are definitely worth the hype!

Blusher 

This blusher i ordered online so i was a bit hesitant at first but considering the cheap price .. its quite good quality and i truly suggest it. It is one of my favorite products as it blends in nicely with my skin and doesn't stand out basically just gives off a natural look with a touch of highlight! You can buy online form :http://www.muastore.co.uk/index.php/mosaic-blusher-english-rose at only £2.50


As regarding lips i don't do much  maybe just apply some carmex once in a while :)
