This is how to ace the no-makeup makeup look for a naturally beautiful face

If there is one makeup trend that has made the waves everywhere, it is the elusive no-makeup makeup look. This look just enhances the natural beauty of your face, without making it look like you have used too much makeup. The basic motive is to look as natural as possible, even with a face full of makeup.

Recently, we have seen many celebrities, actresses, and models donning this makeup look. Rosy flushed cheeks, dewy skin and pink lips make them look like they have a bare face, but it is achieved through an entire makeup routine. So, how do you achieve this natural makeup look? Here is a short guide that you can refer to.

Start with skincare

A flawless no makeup look begins with well-nourished skin. Prioritise skincare by cleansing, toning, and moisturising to create a smooth canvas. Opt for a lightweight, hydrating primer to prep your skin and ensure a dewy finish.

Tinted moisturiser or BB cream as the base

Skincare makeup hybrid products are ideal to create a no-makeup makeup look. Replace heavy foundation with a tinted moisturizer or BB cream for a sheer, natural finish. These products even out skin tone while allowing your skin's natural texture to shine through. Choose a shade that matches your skin tone seamlessly.

Conceal strategically

Use a light coverage concealer only where needed—under the eyes, on blemishes, or in areas with redness. A light hand ensures that imperfections are subtly corrected without a heavy cakey layer of concealer.

Natural flush

Opt for a cream blush or a sheer, buildable powder blush to achieve a natural flush. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks for a healthy, radiant glow. Peach or rosy tones work well for most skin tones.

Soft eyeliner and light mascara

Skip bold eyeliners and opt for a soft, brown, or grey pencil to define your eyes. Consider tight-lining by applying liner along the waterline to subtly enhance your lash line without an obvious makeup effect. Curl your lashes and apply a light coat and a single layer of mascara for a wide-eyed, natural look. Choose a light mascara that lengthens and separates without clumping.

Dewy lips and finishing the look

Finish the look with a sheer lip balm, tinted lip gloss, or nude lipstick. The goal is to bring focus to your natural lip colour while maintaining a hydrated, dewy finish. Set your makeup with a light dusting of translucent powder, focusing on the T-zone to prevent excessive shine. Keep it minimal to maintain a fresh, natural vibe. A hydrating setting spray will also give that soft finish.
