So the picture above is a GREAT example for what your back-to-school beauty bag should look like. It has…

I’M TOTALLY KIDDING! There’s no way and no reason for ANYONE to ever bring THIS much makeup to school. All you need is a nice compact bag with a few items inside :)!

Here’s a list of must-have beauty essentials for your school beauty bag!

1) CONCEALER
You’d always want a concealer in your bag in case of any breakouts or smudging of your eyeshadow. After applying a thin coat of BB cream or foundation at home, you won’t need to bring foundation to school because a few touch-ups will do!

2) LIP BALM + GLOSS
School is pretty much a place for non-stop chatting. Sooner of later you’ll find your lips to be too dry for words! Make sure to bring a lip balm to moisture your lips. Don’t forget your favourite pink lip gloss in case you ever need to flash a smile at the cute boy across the room or the teacher when you’re asking for an assignment extension.

3) CREAM BLUSH
It’s important to have some colour on your face at all times, because pale-ness is a big no-no for youths. Use a cream blush because you can use your finger to spread it out, instead of bringing a bulgy blush brush with you.

4) MASCARA
BUTTERFLY ATTACK!! (as Kim Hyun Joong would describe long eye lashes…) Long eye lashes is essential to achieve ANY looks so make sure you keep that with you at all times!

5) FACE POWDER
I personally like my face to stay matte more than shiny. An alternative method is 6) OIL BLOTTING SHEETS just in case you had a bowl of fries at lunch. Also with a face powder case, there is always a MIRROR, so that saves you from bringing a mirror.

7) EYELINER
Any looks require some sort of eyeliner. At the same time, eye liner is just about the #1 item that tends to smudge. That’s why you always need a handy eyeliner with you!

8 ) HAND SANITIZER + LOTION
We all know there are no such thing as cooties, but one thing for sure, there is bacteria EVERYWHERE in school! Pack in a hand sanitizer for constant sanitation (you can keep this in your locker). Also some lotion to moisture your hands would be quite nice as well.

9) HAIR TIES + BOBBY PINS + MINI COMB
You never know if you need to tie up your hair (reason may be eating, or exercising, etc). Always make sure you have these items with you to keep your hair in place so you don’t look like a psycho.

10) PERFUME
You know one of those sample size perfume that you can get for a really cheap price? Well they’re actually VERY useful. With perfume, you won’t have to bring a deodorant all the time, and if you end up sitting beside a person with a “LOVELY” stench, you can use it like a mini air freshener!

That was my list of school beauty essentials. Do you guys have anything to add to the list?

P.S.: I assumed feminine products would belong in a separate bag…
