Back To School Yearbook Picture Day Makeup Tutorial | Video

It’s time to get back to school and you know what that means: picture day. I always felt so unprepared for school photos, even though I knew about them well in advance. So, to spare you from an embarrassing yearbook photo that will remain for all of eternity, watch this video to learn how to get this natural makeup look!

I tried to use the most cost friendly products I had, but in a few categories I only had pricy products. So, I’d recommend you to use what you have, or find something similar at the drug store! I know not all school-aged teenagers don’t have enough money for higher end brands like NARS, Anastasia, and Urban Decay, but they’re all brands that I love. I used a lot of NYX products because they are some of the most affordable and high performance as well!

Products used:

Neutrogena Shine Control Primer
NYX Invincible Foundation (shade: Ivory)
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (shade: Vanilla)
NYX Blotting Powder (shade: Light Medium)
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder (shade: taupe and dark brown/brunette)
Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette (shades: Foxy, WOS, Naked 2, Venus, Crave)
Urban Decay Gunmetal 24/7 Eyeliner (discontinued)
NARS Larger Than Life Eyeliner (shade: Rue Bonaparte)
NYX Control Freak Eyebrow Gel
COVERGIRL Clump Crusher Mascara
NYX Powder Blush (shade: Bittersweet)
NYX Butter Lipstick (shade: Pops)

My look today & My freshman year photo from 2006!

How about that throwback? The eyeliner only look, the tank top, the hair with the middle part…thankful I’m no longer 14 and awkward.

What’s your go-to school look?
