Nothing can kill your makeup vibes like school rules. As much as experimenting with beauty is important for many of us, there?s no point in risking trouble from superiors over it. My subbies have asked me many times for help on finding a beauty routine that they can get away with during school hours, but the truth is that differs for many people. Schools all over the world have different policies, but one thing?s for sure: when rules are in place, natural is the way to go.
That doesn?t mean you can?t have fun with your makeup. Creating a natural, no filter looking façade can be a lot of fun and there are a ton of products geared toward natural beauty! There?s no reason to go overboard ? save that for weekends with the bests.

At the risk of sounding redundant, the first step in any natural makeup look is skin care. Make sure you?ve brushed up on your skin care routine (here?s a basic how-to) before heading to the beauty counter. The fresher your skin looks naturally, the less product you?ll require to look and feel your best. Before touching any makeup, cleanse (I mentioned LATHER Ultra Mild Face Wash in my face wash post) and moisturize too. When it comes to wearing makeup that looks natural at school, enter a behind-the-scenes product: primer. I?ve talked about Smashbox Photo Finish Primer before to prep for next steps. Nobody will know you?ve applied product, and yet you?ve instantly got smooth skin. So far, so good! Apply a dab of concealer on blemishes or dark circles...
