Get The No-Makeup, Makeup Look
Gone are the days of heavily winged-out eyeliner and strong 80s contouring that were oh-so-hot. You can achieve the au naturale look and still look stunning. Read on to find out how you can use makeup to look flawless while keeping it subtle.
Face
Step 1: Start by prepping your skin with an oil-free moisturizer. This will give a bit of slip so your makeup goes on smoother.
Step 2: For those who are blessed with issue-free skin, apply a tinted moisturizer to even out your skin tone. If you need more coverage, use a liquid foundation with a dewy finish.
Step 3: Apply your foundation or tinted moisturizer with a sponge in a stippling motion. Pay extra attention to the edges to make sure there are no visible lines. Remember, real skin is never matte so finish by only powdering areas that get oily throughout the day.
Step 4: To get the most natural healthy glow, opt for a cream blush. Using your fingers, apply three dots blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend towards the temples.
Step 5: Spritz your face with a facial mist to tone down any cakiness and to keep your skin looking dewy and fresh.
Eyes
Step 1: Natural eyebrows never look penciled in. So ditch your eyebrow pencil and use a powder that matches with your hair color instead. Apply with an angled brush and blend with a clean mascara wand or brow brush to soften the look.
Step 2: Skip eyeliner and really work the mascara wand into the roots of your lashes to make them appear fuller. If you must wear eyeliner, keep the line thin and stick to softer colors like brown or gray. Alternatively, try lining the inner rims of your eyes with a cake eyeliner. To do this, lift up your eyelid gently and push the eyeliner into the rim of your lids with a flat brush.
Step 3: Apply one to two coats of mascara and run a lash comb through your lashes to get rid of clumps. Don't have one handy? Swiping your lashes gently with your fingers works just as well.
Lips
Step 1: Exfoliate your lips with an old toothbrush and Vaseline to get rid of nasty dead skin.
Step 2: Find the color that is inside your lip and go maybe one or two shades darker or brighter depending on your mood. But if you're trying to create a natural look you never want to go more than two shades in either direction. Also do not use anything that has a lot of shine to it or anything too matte. We want to keep that look of your lip texture.
Step 3: Forget lip liner. Instead use a tinted lip balm for a subtle pop of color and shine. Because if you’re going natural, it should be easy, fast. Right? So, go ahead and just put your lips together. And just dab it right on there.
