Whether you’re a makeup beginner or a person who loves the beauty of simplicity, these tips and ideas will be able to help you achieve the natural strive of a natural, glowing look that is perfect for any casual occasion.
In recent years natural makeup looks have become insanely popular because of the dedication to skin health, self-care and being authentic to you. There are many reasons why you might want to embrace this trend and opt for a more simple makeup routine:
Choosing the right products and targeting the key areas of your face and in particular enhancing rather than covering helps when we’re working on creating a perfect natural makeup look. The basic elements of a natural makeup routine usually include:
Now that we have understood the basic components of a natural makeup look, let's get into the parts of the process that you must have to follow to achieve the nearest perfection for a makeup look.
A proper makeup routine recognizes a clean and moisturized face. What you can ensure is that the healthier your skin is, the better it will make your makeup look. A mild cleanser should be used to wash the face, while a light moisturizer that will suit everyone's skin type should be applied afterwards. An option would be to use a hydrating primer if an individual wanted to step up a level for makeup.
Pro Tip: For the extra glow, use a dewy-based primer that helps bring out a more lustre sheen from your skin.
Banish the impenetrable foundation and use light coverage tinted moisturizer, BB cream, or skin tint. At this point, the ideal finish can be light and hydrating but good enough to allow your shine through the skin. The best way to apply is to use your fingers, or you might want to use a makeup sponge for a seamless flawless finish.
Try not to put on the entire face of the foundation; however, if you have areas that may require extra attention, such as blemishes or redness, put a touch of concealer only on that area.
Powder and cream blush is perhaps one of the most important aspects of making natural makeup. Use soft creams or powders of blush colours that would compliment your skin tone. Most shades of peach or rose would complement all skin types. Find out where the "apples" of your cheeks are by smiling and placing blush accordingly with fingers or brush.
To reveal a more sculpted look, lightly swipe bronzer along the temples, cheekbones, and jawline. Choose a superior matte formula for softness to contour without an in-your-face obviousness.
Pro Tip: Cream blush and bronzer will give you the most natural appearance and impart a truly dewy and seamless finish. These formulas tend to marry into the skin beautifully and leave more skin-like results.
Your eyes will receive the most minimal enhancements from natural-day makeup. Neutral eyeshadows are ideal in soft tints of brown, taupe, or peach. A wash of colour on your eyelids can create that lovely depth and dimension.
You don't have to eyeliner for simple daily wear. But if you want a little bit more definition, reach for a creamy brown eyeliner pencil. The line along your upper lash, and to mute it somewhat for a softer look, smudge it with an itty bitty brush.
That's how to finish off with one or two coats of mascara. You enjoy the most open eyes with an everyday lengthening mascara. Use volumizing mascara for those days when you want just a tiny bit more drama. Clear mascara is an excellent fuss-free choice that can help define lashes without color if you're looking for just that.
Pro Tip: Curling your lashes before applying mascara makes your eyes more awake. This step will open them up and create a more prominent, more fresh look.
For a more natural lip look, just keep it simple. Opt for lip balms, lip glosses, or lip tints that are almost like your natural lip colour. These products are great because they hydrate and add just a hint of colour. You can also use a lip liner that matches your lip colour to define the lips a little.
If you desire more colour, try a nude, pink, or soft berry shade. Dewy and soft would be too heavy for a matte lipstick, so try to go for something that gives that look.
Pro Tip: To have a long-lasting lip, apply a thin layer of lip balm before your lip colour so your lips stay hydrated throughout the day.
You set the look so that the natural makeup remains in position for the rest of the day. Translucent powder helps to set your look, allowing you not to cover the face but to settle down your makeup. Should you desire extra glow, then skip using powder; you may use a setting spray. The latter locks down your makeup while imbuing a subtle glow within.
Pro Tip: Always carry a setting spray for a refreshing hydration boost at any time of the day.
