I asked on my Facebook Page which makeup look the page's followers want to see the most, and the most requested one was "no makeup makeup look". So here I am today, trying to demonstrate my take on it.
Let me give a small talk on what "no makeup makeup look" is. Here, no makeup doesn't mean not putting any makeup, rather it means to put on makeup and still look natural. In a nutshell, it means to look JUST like your natural self, just a bit better :)
Products I have used to achieve this look will be listed at the end of the post.
Let's get started!
Step 1: Prime your face according to your skin type and your desired necessities.
Step 2: Apply color corrector if needed. I have terrible dark circles and some hyper-pigmentation, so I have applied color corrector on the areas those need color correcting.
Step 3: Apply under eye concealer. You ca do this after applying foundation as well, but I prefer applying it before foundation.
Step 4: Apply foundation. I love to dot the product on my skin and the blend the product. You can apply your desired coverage. My skin is at it's worst condition right now so I have used a full coverage foundation.
Step 5: This step is totally optional, so you can skip it if you don't need it. Apply Fix+ or any hydrating fixing spray you have. I do this because I feel like this makes my foundation look natural (if I apply a full coverage foundation) and helps to blend even better.
Step 6: Do spot correction with concealer.
Step 7: Set the foundation and concealer with a finishing powder. Blend really well.
Step 8: Contour. Don't go overboard with contouring, that is don't contour too dramatically. Keep it soft and blend well.
Step 9: Of course HIGHLIGHT! your natural skin glows even if you don't put on makeup, so highlight is mandatory (at least that's what I think) :P apply a light color blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend with a very soft hand. Don't make it look obvious that you have added colors to your cheeks.
Step 10: Do your eyebrows. Again, don't make it too arched or too bold and dramatic, keep it soft. If you already have dark and thick eyebrows you can skip it by applying a brow grooming gel only.
Step 11: Apply a warm brown eyeshadow on your crease. This will help to shape your eye. Apply a matte Ivory color on the lid, and blend with the crease color. It'll make your eyes look awake. Apply a shimmery champagne color eyeshadow on the inner tear duct. This will brighten up your whole eye area.
Step 12: Tightline your upper waterline before applying mascara. Trust me, it makes a whole world difference. See the picture below, my right eye (your left) is tightlined and it already helps to shape the lash line better.
Step 13: Apply Mascara and a light pink colored lipstick. If you don't have pigmented lips then you can replace lipstick with a lipgloss. You're done!
This is how you should look with all the makeup products apply. Yourself, just better and flawless :)
Here's a comparison of before and after make up application.
Products I have Used:
1) Smashbox Photo Finish Oil Free Primer
2) NYX Correcting Concealer in Orange
3) NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
4) Kat Von D Foundation and MAC Face & Body Foundation (mixed two to achieve a darker shade)
5) MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer
6) MAC Prep & Prime Transparent Finishing Powder
7) Smashbox Brow powder in Brunette
8) Urban Decay eyeshadow in Buck and Virgin (Virgin used as Highlighter)
9) Smashbox Lipstick in Bitten
10) MAC Blush in Fleur Power
Let me know if it helps you!
