Back to School: Makeup Looks

So, its' that time of the month where we are just about to start a new academic year in the same school or new school. You may be feeling nervous, anxious or even excited. But apart from that, might be glad that you have come to an age where you want to experiment with different school makeup looks. Well don't worry; I felt exactly the same as you when I first wanted to experiment different looks for school and collage. Here are a few ideas you might want to try out:

LOOK 1: Pretty Simple


So, for this makeup look I used mostly pinks to get a really pretty girly look. With these products, it's not all time consuming and it is extremely long lasting throughout the day. Although the products I have used are more Spring/Summer-like, they are still appropriate as the Sun is still shining!

MUA Cream Blusher in Blossom
Revlon New Complexion Blusher in Tawny Peach
MUA Eyeliner in Malt Chocolate
Miss Sporty Extreme Lash Mascara
MK Lipstick in Pink Satin
 
LOOK 2: Slightly Smart
 

For this look, it is for those who can get away with wearing a bit more makeup than the first look. Although less products are used in this look than the first look, using a simple, shimmery eye shadow is perfect for going back to school. If you decide to opt for a more smoky effect, I went in with Natural Collection matt eye shadow in Crushed Walnut.

LOOK 3: Simply Cute
 

For this final look, I decided to use the P.S. Love Night Time eye shadow pallet from Primark. I aimed to achieve a look that was suitable for those that have a fair amount of time in the morning  and so I went for a dark, brown smoky eye, which needs time to blend in well. Although very dark, it is wearable and suitable for school.
