A natural makeup look is all about enhancing what you already have. It is quick to apply, comfortable to wear all day and suits almost any occasion, from the office to a weekend coffee with friends.
Start With a Fresh Base
Begin with moisturised skin so products blend smoothly. Instead of full-coverage foundation, try a tinted moisturiser or a light layer of concealer only where you need it. Blend with your fingertips or a damp sponge for a soft, skin-like finish.
- Moisturise and apply sunscreen
- Use a light base or spot concealer
- Blend well around the edges
Choose a shade that matches your skin closely and test it along the jawline in natural light. A good match is what keeps the finish looking fresh rather than obvious.
Add Soft Colour and Definition
A touch of cream blush on the cheeks adds warmth, and a coat of mascara opens up the eyes. Brush your brows into place and fill sparse areas lightly. Finish with a tinted lip balm or a lipstick close to your natural lip colour.
If you want a little extra definition, a soft brown eyeliner smudged close to the lash line looks subtle and polished. Keep a small kit in your bag for quick touch-ups during the day.
The key to a natural look is a light hand and good blending. Practise a few times, find the products you love, and you will have a reliable routine you can do in minutes.
