Nail the “No-Makeup” Makeup Look with These Tips

Mastering the “no-makeup” makeup look can be a challenge for some of us as we tend to overdo it or under apply products. Striking a balance can take some trial and error, but once you've got it down to a science, the minimalist look can come in handy for a variety of different occasions. Whether you’re headed to work, going shopping, or just trying to make it to Sunday brunch without looking like you only got a couple of hours of sleep, the no-makeup makeup look is extremely versatile.

So, if you’ve struggled to master this look in the past or want to give it a shot for the first time, here are a few tips to help you along the way.

It Starts with Healthy Skin

One of the core factors that this look is all about is having naturally glowing skin. While some of us are lucky, the rest of us have to find ways to fake this natural glow. Before you get started on your look, you should prep and make sure that your skin is effectively moisturized. Use a hydrating face mask or even one with ginseng to help boost collagen, so your skin is a healthy canvas to start.

 Go Light on Foundation

If your skin is prone to minor imperfections or redness, a touch of organic foundation or a natural option that’s colored with peach and cocoa pigments can help. When selecting a foundation to use, look for one with certified organic aloe juice, which will help protect and soothe your skin while going on smoothly and blending evenly. Use the foundation sparingly across your face or just where it’s needed with a concealer brush and you'll be well on your way to achieving the no-makeup makeup look. 

 Touch-Up Your Brows

Simple, natural eyebrows are encouraged for this look, so you don't need to do too much when it comes to no-makeup makeup. Using an eyebrow brush and some brow gel or brow builder, simply brush your brows up and away from your face just to get them into place. Beyond that, you shouldn’t need to fill or line your brows too much so you can keep that natural “I woke up like this” appearance. 

 A Little Mascara Never Hurt

While some guides might tell you to avoid mascara completely, unless you were blessed with dark, lengthy eyelashes, a touch-up with natural mascara will go a long way in securing that stunning-yet-simple look. Apply a light coat to your lashes and curl them for a small boost without overdoing it. 

 Exfoliate Your Lips

Finally, to complete this no-makeup makeup look, you need to focus on your lips. While your first thought might be to add a little a bit of lip gloss or a tinted lip balm, you can actually do a lot to improve your lip color without any lip shades at all. By using a mild lip scrub, you can gently exfoliate your lips and help to remove any dead skin cells while increasing blood flow, giving your lips a naturally healthy flush and a pristine pout. That said, if a fruit pigmented® lipstick would put an extra skip in your step, swipe on a moisturizing light shade after exfoliation to give your natural lip color a bit of a boost.

Let’s say you aren’t into face paint, gems, or glitter, but you’re totally into festival fashion and magical makeup. As you plan for your next outdoor music extravaganza, you’ll not only want to think about how your makeup is going to look in the first picture but also how well it’s going to hold up for the next several hours of dancing in the hot sun. Here are a few tips for keeping your face fresh and fly at a festival this summer. And when it comes to looking great from start to finish, sometimes less is more. Let’s look at the basics. Pucker Up with Lip Scrub There’s nothing worse than chapped lips. Lips are often overlooked, and they are often the first thing to take a beating in the heat, which is why it’s important to prime them with a sweet, exfoliating lip scrub with nourishing ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E. Lip-softening brown sugar and refreshing peppermint oil are must-have ingredients as well. Your lips will feel smooth, pampered, and ready f

Tips and Tricks to Nail That Bright-Eyed Look Every Time

Whether you just didn’t get the recommended eight hours of beauty sleep or you’re ending the week running on fumes, fatigue seems to show up in the worst place: our face. Feeling tired is bad enough, but the added dark circles, puffy eyes, and the innocuous yet dreaded, “you look tired” comment will make anyone want to run and hide. Fortunately, an extra hour or two of sleep each night, combined with these easy makeup tricks can transform that haggard look into bright-eyed perfection. Chill Out We don’t mean relax, though that’s always encouraged. One of the best ways to reduce the appearance of puffy under eye bags is with a cool compress. A bag of ice, chilled spoons, frozen tea bags, or cold cucumber or potato slices can help reduce the swelling and puffiness around your eyes. Prep Your Skin After a cool compress, it’s important to prep the delicate skin under your eyes with powerful ingredients that hydrate, nourish, and brighten. Look for eye creams t

A How-to Guide for Finding Your Perfect Foundation

Image
Think of a foundation in the literal sense: a base on which other structures are created. In engineering, a foundation can be the base of a wall or building frame. In science, it’s the starting point of problem-solving and the scientific method. Even the game of Solitaire uses the concept of foundation as the base card on which other cards are added according to suit. The same premise applies to your makeup. Your foundation is the base upon which you create your entire look, and you don’t want to start with an unstable base. Just as different buildings will require different foundations, your skin requires different products based on your unique skin type. While figuring out which foundation to use can be tricky, try to match your foundation types based upon your individual skin goals. Conceal and Blend If you have acne-prone skin, you struggle with inflammation or hyperpigmentation, or you’re sensitive to fragrances, preservatives, and additives, a full cove
