How to Nail the 'No-Makeup Makeup Look’

Even the thought of living in a world without makeup gives us goose bumps.  We all want to seem as effortlessly gorgeous and confident as our favorite celebs! The hashtag #wokeuplikethis took the internet by storm and hasn’t been forgotten yet. But what about those of us who wake up with our hair all over the place and massive eye bags under our eyes? It’s scary to even imagine leaving your house looking like that. For those who face these issues, the ideal solution is the no-makeup makeup look!
Here’s how you can nail this look to appear effortlessly gorgeous.
Do Your Skincare Routine
A pre-pre step of the no-makeup makeup look would be to prep your skin by conducting your skincare regime. A typical skincare routine includes a cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer. Use products that are suitable for your specific skin type to reap maximum benefits. It’s preferable to skip alcohol containing toners. A multivitamin serum and moisturizer are ideal for keeping your skin super-hydrated.  Following this routine at least once or twice a week will give your skin a natural glow.
Prime Your Face
The key to super-effortless and smooth makeup application is priming your skin. It’s a crucial step before makeup application as it creates an extra layer between your facial skin and the product you’re applying, offering a really smooth surface for application. It also enables the makeup to stay in place for a longer time period.
Use a Concealer
Concealers are the ultimate lifesavers. Choose a lightweight concealer, targeting specific areas of your face. Most of us focus more on the under eyes, so it’s better to apply a more radiant concealer there for some extra glow. If you want to conceal textures or blemishes on your face, opt for a matte finish concealer so you don’t draw much attention to the blemishes. Make sure to blend the concealer effortlessly into your skin so that it looks subtle.
Do Your Brows
If you have very thin or dense eyebrows, it’s essential to fill them in. First, brush your brows lightly using a clear brush. Use a clear brow gel; it enables to keep the brows in place without the need to add any extra product. Push your brows upwards for a lift. Now, slightly swoop the end of the brow downwards to get a more natural arch. If you want fuller eyebrows, then go for a gel that has a light tint.
Highlight
For a natural highlighted and glowy feel, opt for a cream-based highlight and apply it on the highest points of your cheekbones. You can use your finger to apply it for a more natural look. Make sure to blend it in properly.
Use a Cream Blush
Slightly flushed cheeks go a long way in making you look and feel beautiful.  A cream blush helps add a natural flush to the cheeks. Apply a little on the apple of your cheeks and blend it upwards till the hairline.
Add Color to Your Lips
Last but not least, add a little color to your lips. Apply a little gloss or maybe a tint to make your lips pink, creating a fresh and natural look.
Conclusion
These simple hacks are for those who want a subtle look. Follow the step-by-step process mentioned above to achieve the perfect no-makeup makeup look and don’t be shy to use your favorite hashtag #wokeuplikethis!
