                             The Makeup I use for School 





I am a teenager in school and I wear makeup on a daily basis.  I have been trying for some time to find the perfect daily makeup routine.  I am always changing the makeup that I wear but just now I am loving these 7 products. The first is No7's Instant Radiance Foundation although I don't wear foundation every day because my skin is surprisingly clear at the moment but this foundation is great for those bad skin days when you need something to brighten up your complexion.  It also has a medium coverage which is great for concealing those pesky blemishes and red patches.  The second product I like to use Wake Me Up concealer by Rimmel London under my eyes and it instantly does what it promises and wakes you up, leaving you looking a lot brighter, I also like to use it on the sides of my noes as I have redness there.  However I don't like to use this concealer on my blemishes as although it covers them, it would highlight them and who wants to highlight their blemishes? The mascara that I use is Volume Million Lashes by Loréal this stuff is great!  It has been part of my makeup bag for some time now and I absolutely love it.  You can put this on layer by layer depending on the length and volume of your lashes you prefer and it will not clump.  I am loving Loréal's Lumi Magique for using as a highlight along my cheekbones and under my brow.  This product really makes your skin look dewy and awake.  As most girls (unless you are one of the lucky ones like Cara Delevingne) I suffer from slightly sparse eyebrows, so I like to fill them in a little bit with the sleek brow kit.  The kit comes with two brushes, a wax and a powder.  You are supposed to use the wax first  to define and fill in your brows then the powder to set them but even though I am a fan of the strong brow I think it is a bit too much for school so I just use the powder to fill in any sparse areas and I think it does the trick!  As I have an oily T-zone I like to use Rimmel Stay Matte powder to make sure I stay shine free all day.  This powder is the best I have tried, it really does make me stay matte all day long (unless I have P.E because I quite often have to powder again after that).  Last but not least I am obsessed with the balmi lip balms, I have had the mint one, the strawberry one and the raspberry one and my favourite has been the raspberry as it smells amazing.  They are so moisturising and great for keeping in your school bag to use after lunch and break to keep your lips moisturised.  I hope this has been helpful!
