- Lip balm - Let me start off by saying most of these products will be extremely obvious. However, those "obvious" products are life savers for a reason. Lip balm will keep your lips soft and hydrated throughout the school day. Double points if it has SPF for protection from UV rays. Triple points if its tinted so it can double as subtle lip color. High end - Fresh. Drugstore - Maybelline.
- Mascara - Even if you don't have time for a full face (which if we're being honest with each other will probably happen often) putting a couple coats of mascara on helps to lift and open the eyes. Also, whether you have issues with your mascara smudging or not, choosing a waterproof formula will ensure it will last all day and holds a curl much better than non-waterproof mascaras. High end - Tarte Cosmetics. Drugstore - L'Oreal.
- Moisturizer - Now it's up to you whether or not you want your moisturizer of choice to be scented or not, and there are benefits to both. Unscented you can obviously use on your entire body, including your face. Scented, however, can really be a life saver if you want to freshen up your fragrance throughout the day. Both are great to keep around but if you have limited space in your bag, one or the other works just fine too. High end - First Aid Beauty. Drugstore - Eucerin.
- Eyebrow gel - It's true that brows not only frame the face, but can completely transform the appearance of it with a simple flick of a brown pencil. So, much like mascara, if you don't have time for anything else, take a few minutes to lightly fill in your brows with a quick and easy brow gel. It will set them in place to keep them from being too unruly and also adds a bit of definition. High end - Clinique. Drugstore - Maybelline.
- Wipes - For those moments where all of the products listed above forsake you (and yes, this may happen at the most inconvenient time) have something in your makeup bag to wipe all your troubles (read: smudges) away. Bonus points it contains soothing ingredients for an awesome double-duty product. High end - Korres. Drugstore - Yes To.

I'm using one of their images above and I'm sure you'll see more of their incredible work on my blog in the future. If you're also a "blogger of color" make sure to check them out for more inclusive stock photos.
