Everyday make up for placement

In currently on placement in a primary school, and obviously make up can't be too heavy, including mascara. I usually don't wear a lot of make up anyway, but contouring and certain mascara make it look like a lot! So I'm doing this blog post just incase you were wondering how much make up was a suitable amount for placements/voluntary work/ or even a new job! 

My daily make up consists of a moisturiser, light (but brightening) foundation, low application mascara, pale natural coloured blush a highlighter for extra brightness (obviously a lot of this is benefit again, my favourite brand)!


Firstly I apply the moisturiser (as always), and u always use the neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit, usually around £5 in boots, but just after Christmas it was only £3.50 in superdrug so I made sure I stocked up in quite a few. Always as prepping the skin for make up it also clears the skin of blemishes and discolouration.  

Then the foundation, benefits hello flawless oxygen wow foundation. This definitely has to be the best foundation to use because it's brightening, and having hardly any sleep creates the biggest and unattractive dark circles under anyone's eyes. This definitely helps to bring colour back to your face and hide the circles, as well as being a light and fair application. 


The blusher, benefits dandelion, is a natural pink blush. With the weather being quite frosty and cold, this gives the perfect cheek glow, mixed with the benefits watts up high lighter rubbed on the top of the cheek bone. 


Bad gal mascara, because it's a light application with a large brush. This takes seconds to apply and still emphasises the eyes with colours. 


Lastly, Victoria's Secret coconut passion body mist for a sweet and long lasting scent to cover up the smell of play dough, paint and glue!

OOTD

Today I had to go in to where my next placement is, starting Monday, full time for six weeks (which I'm super excited about)! Excited about placement because the teacher I'm teaching with is a new graduate, who's first year it is working in this primary school, who graduated from the university in currently studying at!! Then this evening we had a tea party for my niece who just turned 4 today.

My outfit of the day consisted of my new Topshop coat (berry boyfriend popper button), and an old favourite black dress with a colour and eagle clips. 


I also used my every day make up, consisting of neutrogena grapefruit moisturiser, collection 2000 red long lasting lipstick (discontinued), benefit products and rimmel London mascara. 


As well as a Victoria's Secret body spray. This fragrance is my favourite and I have quite a collection of these fragrance mists. Midnight dare smells of raspberries and sandalwood, it's very sweet but more fruity, and not like a sweet child smell! 

Then to finish this post, this was the gift I bought my niece for her birthday, a Percy pig cake from Marks and Spencers for £10. The reason I only got her a cake was because I got her wayyyyy too much for Christmas and spent an awful lot of money on her! But she got plenty more presents from everyone else so she was happy with the cake.
