We all know what planner, backpack and clothes we want to bring, but what about your back to school beauty essentials!? I came up with a few items that I think everyone should have on their back to school beauty essentials list as they’re going to make your life so much easier. With all of these products, you’ll be able to concentrate on what’s important, which is getting the most out of school/college. So, without further ado here’s my l most important back to school beauty essentials!
Now everyone is different and every school is different. I know that some schools are relatively strict on how much make-up you can wear whereas others aren't really bothered. So this post will be tailored for the bear basics one will need at school but I will feature a few extras you can choose to add if you wish.
(ALL PRODUCTS WILL BE DRUGSTORE)
Tinted Lip Balm
Again as some schools don't allow you to wear heavy make up a tinted lip balm is perfect. Not only does it give you a boost of moisture on your lips but whilst adding a hint of subtle colour.
My favourite is Benefit's Posiebalm
Blotting Paper
As many of those going back to school are teenagers it's expected for those to have oily skin or those who do not it will be likely to get a slight shine on the skin from where the skin produces oil throughout the day. These are so ideal to just chuck in your bag and use when your skin feels a bit too oily.
My favourite is the Clean & Clear Blotting Papers.
Powder
Similar to the blotting papers, powder is great to cover up shine/oil on the face alongside helping to prolong your face makeup throughout the day. I usually only take one or the other to save room in my make up bag.
My favourite is the NYX HD Studio Photogenic Finishing Powder.
Concealer
Again as its teens who are most likely to be going back to school similarly to the oily skin to be expected spot prone skin goes hand in hand. So of course as the day progresses you don't want to find you have a lovely spot pop up on your skin and no way to cover it up. I like using a creamy concealer as you can blend away with your fingers so no need to carry an extra brushes.
My favourite is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer.
Compact Mirror
Probably one of the most important things in any girls make up bag, a compact mirror. Of course you can't go through the day without checking your makeup/face/hair at least once (or maybe three or four times) throughout the day. My compact has both a normal mirror and a magnifying one (which can be slightly scary to look at!).
Now onto the make up extras...
Lip Stick
As not all schools are strict most students can get away with a lipstick. I usually opt for a 'pretty and pink' colour or a very natural colour saving the more outrageous lip for a special occasion rather than your typical school day.
My favourite is Seventeen in Beehive or the Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain in Honey.
Tweezers
Again an extra but I personally hate it if you find a stray eyebrow hair in the middle of the day and you just need to pluck it! Mine are some No7 Tweezers from an old Christmas gift set.
Nail File
I often break a nail and hate when it feels rough and rips even more. Having a nail file is just so handy to have to hand in case of any of those nail disasters.
Hope this has helped any of you struggling to decide what you do really need at school
