Every beauty guru would tell you to evaluate what your skin is like, if it's oily, combination (some parts oily eg. Forehead, nose and chin and dry on your cheeks) or dry. Once you've decided what category you would place your skin in, choose your face products appropriately.
Face
Young skin doesn't need to be clogged up with thick foundations and powders. Team a tinted moisturiser such as one from Garnier's range which caters to a variety of skin types and team with a concealer from Collection 2000 or Seventeen both great brands and cheap as chips. Decide whether you want to brighten or conceal and go from there.

Eyes
Go for a lengthening mascara to maintain a natural flutter using something like L'oreal Telescopic Mascara £10.99 which has a plastic comb brilliant for separating the lashes. For a natural look, neutral eyeshadows are the ones to go for and if you're in a rush to leave for school a cream shadow like the Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24 Hour £4.99 offerings can be applied with a finger tip and smudged over the lid to leave a wash of colour and it stays!
Lips
Again, lipsticks are a no-go for school. Teachers are always on the lookout for tell tale signs of make up and lipsticks will make you stand out like a beacon. Pick up a tinted lip balm from Vasaline in Rose or the Nivea Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose (which smells like raspberry yoghurt, yum) for a hint of colour and a glossy sheen without looking too made up. My vasaline had seen better days so I thought I'd picture this beauty alone.
Cheeks
Finally, cheeks. Highstreet brands such as Natural Collection offer beautiful blushes at low prices, pick a shade like Peach Melba for that healthy glow and at £1.99 you can't go wrong. Although be careful, don't go too heavy handed, less is definitely more! Unfortunately I didn't have a picture for the blusher, but follow the link for a butchers!
I hope this helped, just remember to be subtle, you still want to look like you, just a little enhanced.
Take Care!
