Back to School Makeup Routine (Winter Edition)

 

 

Hi guys, I hope you all had an amazing Christmas/ New Year/ Holiday. But sadly, for me at least that is now over and I have to go back to school, actually by the time this goes up I might even be back :(. I know most people would have done a back to school makeup routine in September or when we actually returned back to school after the summer but my blog wasn't up then so now it's going to have to do.

Some peoples schools don't allow makeup but mine does, so this is what I wear to school but I'm sure you can adapt this too suit whatever your school allows. 

So this is my back to school makeup routine- winter edition.

Now this is going to sound slightly ironic because for most people it's the other way round but when I'm at school I often wear more makeup then when I'm at home and the reason for this is on the weekend unless I'm out I just chill at home with no makeup. 

First things first what I always do when I wake up is drink some water. I always have a glass of water by my bed because I often get really thirsty in the night. I drink water in the morning as it helps me to wake up (I generally find this very hard to do) and keeps me hydrated.

 

The next thing I do which is essential especially in the winter is moisturise my face. At the moment I use Simple moisturiser which is relativity cheap and doesn't break me out. (I am trying to find a different one so if anyone has any suggestions please leave a comment down below) at this stage in my morning routine I also use some lip balm to moisturise my lips and because of the cold weather my lips get very dry very quickly so you can never have enough lip balm. At the moment I'm using

I usually get changed at this stage because I like my moisturiser to sink in. 

 

 

Changed or not changed my next step is foundation. I'm using Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation which I buff into my skin using the real techniques buffing brush. For some people your school might not allow makeup and if they don't you might want to miss out this step or you could use a BB cream or tinted moisturiser which have slightly lighter coverage and won't be as obvious. 

 

Then I conceal anything which the foundation hasn't  covered and to do this I use the wake me up concealer by Rimmel and also collections lasting perfection concealer. Even if your school doesn't allow makeup I think that if you can get away with this is does help you too feel more confident. 

 

 

 

I set my foundation and concealer using the Rimmel stay matte powder, this powder is one of my favourites for setting foundation- it's not cakey, it's light on the skin, and it last all day.

 

 

 

Moving onto my eyes I change this about everyday, because when your in a rush in the morning it never goes quite to plan! But normally I try and aim for a line along to top of my lashes with a little film out to the side, to do this I use my collection felt liner because I find it easier to use than gel liner when I'm in a rush. Sometimes I will put a little bit of black pencil in the outer corner of my waterline or I just leave it and move onto my mascara, the mascara which I love at the moment is the benefit they're real mascara. It may be expensive but it's amazing!

To finish off my eyes I normally brush through my brows with my MUA clear mascara which I use as a gel to set them in place- because my brows are so dark I don't fill them in too often. 

 

Another extra which I sometimes do depending on how much time I have left is too contour my face slightly and bronze just to give myself some colour- often I skip out this step though. 

So there we have my makeup routine for the winter, for some people this might be a lot of makeup and others it may be too little. It really depends what mood I'm in too how much I put on, because I go to boarding school though I like to lie in bed till the latest time possible leaving me hardly any time to do my makeup.
