School days may be synonymous with textbooks and notebooks, but why not inject some fun into your routine with makeup that mirrors your favorite school supplies? From the vibrant hues of colored pencils to the creamy texture of crayons, the Style Weekend team looked for these beauty finds that will transform your daily grind into a glamorous study session.
Color pencils and highlighters
Art classes and review sessions are incomplete without those colorful pencils that make our tasks and study nights more fun and colorful. That smooth glide experience on paper is also possible for our faces with pastel color eyeliners from BLK. These are great for the pop of colors if you need that boost of confidence during a class presentation.
Kiko Milano’s Long Lasting Color Lip Marker and Smart Color Eye Pencil could be your top choice if you're into metallic ones. These are pigmented and smudge-proof for that hulas-free look all day.
Jumbo crayons
Every school year is not complete without that set of Crayola crayons. But now that you’re at the right age to wear makeup, it’s time to switch to face crayons.
Nature Republic has this Lip Lounge line, a creamy lip crayon that moisturizes the lips and adds color with its soft texture. If you love retractable color pencils, the Korean makeup brand also has a Honey Melting Lip line featuring a lip gloss that glides like melting honey.
Tube paints
Another essential in the art classes is tube paints. And the makeup section of SM Beauty will not run out of products inspired by these materials. First on our list is Max Factor X’s Miracle Pure Infused Cream Blush. This tube blush is infused with hyaluronic acid from its name for a dewy, radiant finish. Then, there’s the Free Style Multi-Tasking Colour from The Body Shop. It can be used in different ways and has a mix of matte and shimmer finish.
Glitters
For that added sparkle, glitters are a must. K-Palette’s Glimmer Liquid is long-lasting and easy to apply. For that sparkling eye shadow, Chu-Chu beauty could be your go-to. It’s lightweight and oh-so-cute. For an extra layer of color in your eye area, Maybelline’s Tattoo Liner Play line has a lot of colors to offer.
Brushes and sponges
Some paintings can’t be done without brushes and sponges. As you search for the perfect makeup for your beautiful face, it’s also important to find the right brushes. Real Techniques has much to offer, but one of our favorites is their Skincare brush duo. Each brush also comes with a spatula or scoop that you use to get the right amount of moisturizer. Blending colors is easier with sponges. Basicare has this single pack with 24 pieces of sponges in various shapes and sizes.
Adhesives
Adhesives apply not only to school work but also to our beauty kit. For that super sleek hairdo without your baby hair saying hello, Fresh’s Styling Stick offers a 24-hour hold without residue. The brand also has a dry shampoo that restores volume and absorbs oil, with a long-lasting floral scent perfect for those walang-ligo days because of thesis cramming.
There you go. Have an exciting, fun, and beautiful school year ahead.
