Step 1: Prepping Your Skin
Prepping your skin is key to slaying this natural everyday makeup look or any look for that matter. Make sure you cleanse, tone and moisturize your face properly with a lightweight moisturizer before you begin. It’s crucial to prep your skin with a primer. This will give you an ultra smooth base and will help your foundation glide on like a dream. You’ll also have a super fresh, glowy finish.
Step 2: Applying Your Foundation
Pick a lightweight foundation or a tinted moisturizer in a shade that exactly matches your skin tone. If you can’t seem to find your exact shade, mix two shades for a flawless finish. Now, the trick to make your face look like it has nothing on is to buff, buff, and buff some more. So take some time to do this in detail.
Step 3: Time For Concealer
Brightening your eyes and banishing any dark spots or redness is what’s next. Use a concealer that you love. Draw a V-shape underneath your eyes – like an inverted triangle, and use your buffing brush to buff the product out, until you can’t see any harsh lines or patches. Remember, blending is key!
Step 4: Set your makeup
Use a setting powder to set your makeup, absorb extra oil for all-day shine control, and maintain a more natural and universal appearance. The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a cult favorite that doesn’t remove the glow from the skin and keeps the makeup intact all day. Using a cotton ball or a powder brush, remove any excess powder.
Step 5: Moving on to the eyes
Once you’re done with your base, it’s time to enhance your eyes (in the most subtle manner possible.) Start by curling your lashes using a high-quality eyelash curler. Once you achieve your curl, it’s time for mascara! If you want to volumize and lengthen your lashes with one product . One layer of mascara does the trick for this look – for both your upper and lower lashes. Next, use a black eyeliner pencil to tightline your upper lash line, to give an illusion of thicker and darker lashes.
It’s also a great idea to groom your eyebrows and add some definition – nothing too major since it’s all about subtlety. Use a brow powder to fill in sparse areas of your brows, and apply it with a thin, flat angled brush.
Step 6: Warm it up with Bzoner
When we say bronze it up a notch, don’t go overboard because this look is all about keeping it simple. Use a subtle bronzer and slightly brush it along your cheekbones and hairline to warm it up a bit
Step 7: Add the cheeks
For your blush, cream blush without any kind of shimmer or glitter looks most natural. It has a texture similar to that of your skin and is also very sheer. Use a blush brush and put a little bit on your cheeks, blend it out well with your buffing brush. Another way is to use your ring finger to apply a bit at the tip of the nose and lower chin. Then, use both your ring finger and middle finger to gently blur it out for a natural flushed look.
