Step 1: Prep Your Skin
Before applying any makeup, it’s important to prep your skin. Start by cleansing your face with your favorite cleanser and follow up with a lightweight moisturizer. Once your moisturizer has absorbed into your skin, it’s time to apply the Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield Flex. This product not only provides SPF 50 protection but also acts as a primer, creating a smooth canvas for your makeup.
Step 2: Brighten Your Eyes
The eyes are the windows to the soul, so let’s make them pop! Apply a small amount of the Colorescience Total Eye to your under-eye area using your ring finger. Gently pat the product into your skin, focusing on any areas of darkness or discoloration. The Total Eye not only brightens the under-eye area but also provides hydration and protects against environmental stressors.
Step 3: Define Your Lashes and Brows
For a natural-looking lash and brow enhancement, reach for the Stila XX Mascara and Benefit Brow Gel. Start by lightly coating your lashes with the mascara, focusing on the roots and wiggling the wand upwards to create volume and length. Avoid applying too much product to keep the look natural.
Next, groom your brows using the Benefit Brow Gel. This gel will help tame any unruly hairs and add subtle color and definition to your brows. Brush the gel through your brows in upward strokes, following their natural shape. If desired, use a spoolie brush to blend the product for an even more natural finish.
Step 4: Enhance Your Eyes
To add a touch of definition to your eyes, use the Hourglass Eyeliner. Opt for a brown or taupe shade for a softer look. Apply the eyeliner along your upper lash line, staying as close to the roots as possible. Use short, feathery strokes for a more natural appearance. You can also smudge the liner slightly with a smudging brush or your finger for a softer effect.
Step 5: Add a Healthy Glow
To achieve a natural, healthy glow, reach for the Colorescience Brush On. This mineral powder provides a sheer coverage that evens out your skin tone while still allowing your natural skin to shine through. Use a large fluffy brush to lightly dust the powder over your face, focusing on areas that tend to get oily or have redness.
Step 6: Finish with a Subtle Lip
To complete your no makeup look, apply a subtle lip color with the NARS Lip product. Opt for a shade that is close to your natural lip color or a soft pink or nude shade. Apply the product directly to your lips or use a lip brush for a more precise application.
And there you have it! A fresh-faced, natural-looking makeup look that enhances your features without looking overdone. Whether you’re heading to the office, meeting up with friends, or simply running errands, this no makeup makeup look is perfect for any occasion. So embrace your natural beauty and have fun experimenting with different products and techniques!
