Views: 3524

If you’re not a big fan of makeup, it can often feel like there’s no way to get that natural look. But a few key products can help you look like you’re wearing nothing at all! In this post, we’ll go over our favorite five makeup essentials for creating a no-makeup makeup look.

Concealer

Concealer is a must-have for anyone who wants to cover up dark circles, blemishes and acne scars. It can also be used to even out your skin tone or hide any minor imperfections you may have.

Concealers come in different forms: cream concealers are great for covering large areas of the face, while stick or pencil concealers work well on smaller areas like under the eyes or around the nose where you want more precision.

Foundation

Foundation is the base for your makeup. It helps even out your skin tone, cover blemishes and redness and provide a smooth base for other products to be applied on top of it. You can use foundation to hide under eye circles or blemishes as well if you want to go without any other concealer products.

There are several types of foundations: liquid, cream or powder. Liquid foundation is usually best for oily skin types because it will keep your face matte throughout the day (if you’re worried about shine). However if you have dry or sensitive skin then powder might be better suited for you because they tend not stick as much onto dry patches while still providing coverage!

Powder

Powder is a must-have for any makeup collection. It can be used to set foundation, concealer and even contour your face.

The key to using powder is knowing how much product you need and where to apply it. If you want to use it as a setting powder for your foundation, apply it with a large fluffy brush or kabuki brush in circular motions all over the face after applying foundation but before adding blush or bronzer (if applicable). This will ensure that everything blends well together so there are no harsh lines or creases visible on your skin.

If you’re looking for more coverage under the eyes from concealer, apply some powder underneath where needed while still keeping things natural looking by blending outwards towards the edges of your eye socket area instead of downwards towards the rest of your face–this will help prevent any dark spots from peeking through underneath!

Brows

An eyebrow pencil is a must. You can use it to fill in sparse areas, define your arch and create an overall look that’s natural and polished.

• Use short strokes along the brow line to build up color. Start at the inner corner of each brow and work outward, filling in sparse spots as needed.
• If you’re new to makeup or just feel like getting professional help, book yourself an appointment at a salon or spa that offers eyebrow waxing services–they’ll know exactly what looks best on you!

Blush

Blush is a great way to add color to your face. You can apply blush on the apples of your cheeks, on the tops of your cheekbones, or along the hollows of your cheeks.

Blush comes in many different shades and colors so that you can find one that matches your skin tone best.

Highlighter

Highlighter is a light-reflecting powder that can make your skin look brighter and more youthful. Highlighters are often used on the cheekbones, brow bones, nose bridge and cupid’s bow (the top of your upper lip).

• Use your fingers to apply highlighter. Start at the top of each cheekbone and sweep down towards the sides of your face. Then apply a small amount underneath each eye socket as well as along the bridge of your nose and under its tip–you want it to look like there’s a spotlight shining on those areas! You can also use this technique on any other parts of your face where you want extra illumination: the area between the bottom lip and chin; above each eyebrow arch; even behind each ear lobe will do wonders!

Mascara and Eyeliner

• Mascara: Mascara is the key to a no-makeup makeup look. It helps to pump up your lashes, which creates a more youthful and fresh appearance. If your eyelashes are naturally thin and sparse, this can be especially beneficial for you.
• Eyeliner: Eyeliner can help you create a cat eye effect by making sure that both sides of your lashes line up perfectly (or as close as possible). This will also give them more definition and shape than if they weren’t lined with eyeliner at all!

These five makeup items can help you create a no-makeup makeup look.

• Concealer
• Foundation
• Powder
• Brows and eyeliner (optional)

The first step in creating a no-makeup makeup look is to conceal any blemishes or dark circles. You can use either powder or liquid concealer for this, depending on your preference. Next, apply foundation over the entire face. If you have dry skin, be sure to use moisturizer first! If you have oily skin and prefer liquid foundations, skip the moisturizer step–it will just make things worse by adding more oiliness onto your face. Once all of this is done, take some loose powder and dust it lightly over your entire face once again for an extra matte effect (this also helps with oil control).

Conclusion

Now that you know the five makeup essentials for a no-makeup makeup look, you can start experimenting with different combinations! Remember that these are just suggestions–you can use whatever products work best for your skin type and personal style. The most important thing is to always have fun with makeup, whether it’s an elaborate look or something simple like this one.
