6 Tips to achieve a perfect minimalist ‘no-makeup’ makeup look

1. Hydrate, hydrate & hydrate

The ‘no-makeup’ makeup look is all about the healthy, natural and bare-faced-but-better look. Hence, you need to make sure your skin is thoroughly moisturised, looks bouncy, and doesn’t have any dry patches before starting off with your makeup. The more hydrated and healthy your skin is, the better this makeup look will turn out to be.

However, you won’t be able to achieve the results by just slathering on a moisturiser. Try including hydrating serums, face masks, and sheet masks in your skincare routine. Plus, ensure that your skin is well-exfoliated.

2. Use dewy pre-makeup products

There’s a whole host of pre-makeup products—in oil, serum or primer forms—that help give an instant glass-like finish to your makeup look. Most of them are infused with subtle shimmer particles to give a realistic lit-from-within glow.

3. Ditch the foundation

The key to perfecting a natural-looking makeup look is to have the least amount of coverage so that your real hydrated skin shines through. For this, swap your full coverage foundations with skin tints or BB creams. Also, use a beauty blender instead of a brush or your fingers to keep the coverage to a minimum.

4. Conceal correctly

If you want to cover up your dark spots or dark circles (letting them go uncovered is also absolutely fine), opt for a lightweight hydrating concealer and apply only where required. Try not to go overboard with it.

5. Use cream-based products

From highlighter to blush, use makeup products with cream formulas. They are ideal to give you a natural finish, as they melt into your skin and sink right in, unlike powder formulations. To ensure that the glowyness lasts all day long, finish off your makeup look with a dewy setting spray.

6. Brush up your brows

Instead of trying to get perfectly arched, drawn-up brows, opt for a brow gel and brush your brows in place to enhance the beauty of your natural eyebrows.
