Hello and welcome to my blog! You can expect product reviews, makeup looks, beauty hauls, and more here. This month, I wanted to start off with an easy, everyday school makeup look. If I’m running late (which is quite often), I just throw on some concealer and mascara, but if I have a little bit more time to do my makeup this is the type of look I like to do.

Face:

I start with cleaning my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I leave it damp and use it to apply my Sonia Kashuk Tinted Moisturizer. This tinted moisturizer is nice because it has good coverage but is really lightweight.

I use my fingers to apply the Revlon Photoready Concealer to any blemishes and underneath my eyes to cover dark circles. I also use the Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer underneath my eyes to brighten. If I think I’ll need it, I set my face with Wet n Wild’s Coverall Powder Foundation. It gives the tinted moisturizer a little more coverage and keeps my forehead from getting shiny.

To finish the face, I sweep on some of the NYX Powder Blush in Peach. It adds some nice color and really brightens up my face.

Eyes:

I like to keep my eyes pretty simple. I prime my eyes with the Milani Eye Primer to keep the eyeshadow on all day and use Wet n Wild’s Single Eyeshadow in Nutty. Nutty is a great everyday color that you can use all over the eyelid and into the crease.

I line my eyes with the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner Pen and apply a couple coats of Maybelline’s The Falsies Mascara.

I use a little bit of the eyebrow gel in the ELF Eyebrow Kit in Light really lightly through my brows.

Lips:

I finish off the look with the Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Frosting. It’s kind of like a mix between a lipgloss and lipstick and is a great product that I can just put on and get out the door.
