While we all love rocking a glamorous eye every now and then, on most days, our go-to is a natural and effortless look. People who generally do not prefer wearing a lot of makeup but wish to appear put-together tend to opt for easily-achievable looks that do not need a bunch of products. If you’re one of them, here are some easy tips to help you achieve that perfect no-makeup makeup look.
Take care of your skin
Your skin acts as a canvas each time you apply makeup on it. So as to create a masterpiece, be it simple or glamorous, it is important that the base is healthy. In the case of a simple, no-makeup look, it is often recommended to use very few products for your face to be as natural as possible. If your skin isn’t healthy, you might need to go for a heavier base of foundation and concealer, which won’t look as natural as you’d want it to be. Even before you apply any layer of makeup, make sure your face is cleansed, and moisturized and that you have a healthy layer of sun protection on.
Wear a good primer
After you are done with your skincare routine, the first thing that should be done is priming your skin. For a natural look, it is best to go for a lightweight base, which can be accomplished by using either a tinted moisturizer or BB cream if you want to skip using foundation altogether.
Foundation
If you do want to go for a layer of foundation, make sure that it is light in weight. You may not need to use a full coverage foundation and concealer, especially if it is hot outside. Concealers are generally used to hide any minor blemishes or dark patches, but can also be skipped if you wish to do that.
Use cream-based products
Cream-based products are extremely easy to blend in and help achieve that dewy, natural look quite effortlessly for most people. Ensuring that all the makeup products you use are cream-based will help blend them better and also allows the end-result to look more natural.
Highlight
One of the most defining features of a natural, no-makeup makeup look is the dewy texture. This can be accomplished by using a mild highlighter or some shimmer. There is a wide range of illuminators available in the market that will help your skin get the extra glow that you love.
Blush
For a natural, flushed appearance, you can apply a light touch of blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend it in properly with a large fluffy brush. Make sure that you pick a shade that matches your complexion.
Go easy on the eyes
If you want to enhance your eyes, you can opt for a thin stroke of eyeliner in a more muted shade. You can ditch the mascara if you want to emphasize them too much. Since you are going for a more natural look, it is important that you keep the eye makeup to a minimum.
