No-Makeup, Makeup

“No makeup, makeup” is all about a flawless base and neutral tones that enhance your natural beauty. If you want a barely-there look that says: “I woke up like this,” follow our 5-step guide to keeping it light.

1. BASE
First apply a BB cream or sheer foundation to smooth over any unevenness in your skin tone – the idea isn’t to cover-up, but rather to enhance your natural skin colour.

2. LIGHTEN UP
Brush a light, neutral-coloured eye shadow over your entire lid; keep it light, you want to focus the attention on your eyes, but not necessarily the makeup around them.

3. DEFINE YOUR EYES
Use a soft, brown kajal eyeliner to rim your upper and lower lash line. Then, use the kajal eyeliner to add definition to the crease of your eye – don’t overdo it, remember you’re going for natural! Finish off with mascara, using a lengthening and separating formula for an understated finish.

4. BLUSH
Now, to add a natural flush to your cheeks, use a medium-sized, fluffy brush to sweep blusher across your cheeks, applying from the outer corner or your face towards your nose. Keep your blusher light to avoid creating any harsh, angular lines.

5. LIPS
Finish-off with a creamy-textured lipstick in a natural shade.
