Going to Uni generally means getting up so super early that the sun isn't even awake yet, so make up can be quite challenging for the sleep deprived student population. However, I've found a great routine that works really well for me and i thought that by sharing it with you that maybe the early morning won't mean you leave the house in Zombie mode. 

After my morning skincare routine i start with my base. I apply the Maybelline BB cream which i absolutely love! Its so easy to apply and leaves my face felling dewy without coming home and realising my face as been reflecting the sun into everyones eyes. Then with my powder brush i set it with my Mayelline pressed powder which as you can tell is very much loved and used. I find the colour perfect for my skin tone any time of the season and just seems to work really well at making my base, bb cream or foundation, last all day. 

Next, i move on to my cheeks and this usually depends on a number of factors to which one i choose, those being my mood, my outfit and the season. Generally when i wear my bb cream because it is so light in coverage compared to my normal foundation the natural flush of my cheeks comes through so i tend to lean towards my Avon bronzing pearls (which is also verging on a replacment). The little pearls vary in shades from dark and deep rose, light brown/beige to what i consider to be an original bronzing of deep browns. Plus it smells ah-mazing! My other cheek choice is my Too Faced Blusher and it is seriously perfect in every way. It consists of the 3 shades of pinky/rose with a shimmer finish and really complements my cheek bones. 

For my eyes i usually keep it very simple with my mascara and maybe eyeliner depending on how long i slept in for. At the moment the Maybelline mascara is impressing me, it extends all my lashes and doesn't make it go clumpy. If i have time, i tend to put my Rimmel eye definer along the top lip and extend it out to a very small cat eye flick. I don't really enjoy putting it on my bottom of my eye, i think it makes them look small and bug like, but thats just my personal preference. 

Finally, my most favourite part, choosing my lipstick/balm/stain/gloss. Lately I've been reaching for my Bourjois in Peach on the Beach simple because it last so long, doesn't dry my lips out and the shade is so pretty. What more could you want?

And voila, i am ready for a long haul at Uni. I hope this helped you create a go to ridiculously early morning must haves, please leave comments about your experience with these products or what you are grabbing in the morning.
