Steps to achieve the ‘no-makeup’ makeup look

Skin prepping

Because we are going with minimal makeup, there’s a lot of dependence on the glow that comes from within. For that, a proper skincare routine becomes all the more imperative. Firstly, give your face a proper cleanse with a face wash that suits your skin type. Then exfoliate with a face scrub as it will help to remove all the dead cells from the skin. Apply toner to refresh and tone your skin, provide hydration and minimize the appearance of pores. Soak a cotton pad with the toner and wipe your face and neck with it. Now gently massage your face and neck with a moisturizer to supply adequate hydration to your face.

Priming

Priming is also an important step to achieve the ‘no-makeup’ makeup look as it will smoothen out your face, prevent your makeup from looking cakey, and prolong its stay.

Sheer coverage foundation or BB cream

For a makeup look that looks minimal, it’s recommended to go for minimal or sheer coverage instead of high coverage. Therefore, you can either go with a BB cream or sheer coverage foundation so that you achieve basic coverage but at the same time look natural. Dot the center of your face with the foundation or BB cream, and blend it outwards with a damp beauty blender. Keep dabbing the beauty blender on your face in a gentle way until the foundation or BB cream completely dissolves into the skin.

Conceal

Now it completely depends on you if prefer to leave the discoloration and other imperfections unconcealed or not. If you want to cover up your acne spots and blemishes, apply concealer in the same shade as your skin tone on the spots. Go for a concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone to cover your under-eye dark circles. Blend it out to achieve a seamless finish. Set it with loose setting powder.

Blusher

Now it’s time to add some color to your freshly done base. A pink or peach blusher will work well to get a minimal and fresh look. Take some product onto your blusher brush. Smile and see the apples of your cheeks pop up. Swirl your brush back and forth on the apples of your cheeks. To blend the product, move your brush in circular motions.

Highlighter

Now add some glow to your face with a highlighter. Apply the highlighter on the top of cheekbones, nose bridge, the part between your eyebrows, browbone, and cupid’s bow.

Eyebrow Filling Pencil

Well-done eyebrows will lend a polished and defined look to your ‘no-makeup’ makeup look. With a dark brown eyebrow pencil, fill in the sparse areas of your eyebrows by drawing light and gentle strokes along the natural shape of your eyebrows. Comb them to set the eyebrows in place.

Kajal

To give some definition to your eyes, you can tight line your eyes using a brown kajal. Gently pull the outer corner of your eyes upwards so that the upper waterline is exposed. Now line the upper waterline with the kajal in short strokes. Similarly, you can line your lower waterline too using the kajal.

Eyeshadow

Some glow is always needed in the ‘no-makeup makeup look. So you can apply a light amount of peach shade eyeshadow on your eyelids for a fresh and awake look.

Mascara

You can never ever ditch mascara while doing your ‘no-makeup’ makeup look. It makes your lashes look fuller and enhances your eyes. However, don’t go overboard with it. Just apply a few coats of mascara to your lashes to achieve the illusion of natural fullness and length.

Lipstick

Complete the makeup look by applying nude, peach, or coral shade lipstick. These shades look extremely natural yet flattering and give you that youthful and fresh look. You can go for matte and cream lipsticks. However, gloss is back in trend, so you can also go for a glossy lipstick to apply to your lips.

Setting Spray

Your entire makeup look is done. All you need to do now is set it by spritzing a setting spray onto your face from a distance. This not only prolongs the stay of your makeup but also energizes the look by adding a beautiful glow to your face.

So that’s all you need to do to achieve the viral ‘no-makeup’ makeup look. Master these makeup techniques and blow everyone’s mind away with an absolutely natural, radiant, and healthy-looking makeup look. Falling short of products? As we said, you can buy all these makeup products online at Colorbar Cosmetics at amazing discounts!
