How To Create A Natural Makeup Look
In the world of beauty and cosmetics, the allure of natural-looking makeup has taken centre stage. From dewy skin to flushed cheeks and barely-there lip colour, the natural makeup aesthetic embodies simplicity, freshness, and effortless beauty. While a smokey eye and dramatic lip look can be perfect for a night out or a special occasion, day-to-day, natural, dewy makeup can be a great choice. Discover how to effortlessly achieve the coveted natural makeup look, along with the best products and techniques to enhance your features.
What are the best products for a natural everyday makeup look?
When aiming for a natural makeup look, it's essential to opt for products with lightweight formulas that blend seamlessly into the skin. Look for sheer coverage foundations, creamy concealers, and buildable blushes that mimic the skin's natural texture and provide a subtle wash of colour. The last thing you want when it comes to a light makeup look are products that cover too much or appear too thick. The key is subtlety. Choose products that enhance your features without masking them, allowing your natural beauty to shine through effortlessly.
How to create a natural makeup look
Creating a natural makeup look starts with prepping the skin to ensure a smooth and radiant base. Once your skin is clean, moisturised and primed, it’s time to apply a lightweight foundation and concealer before adding a touch of blush, bronzer, eye shadow and lip colour. Read on to learn more about how to do natural makeup from start to finish.
Step 1: Prep the skin
Prepping the skin is essential for achieving a flawless natural makeup look. Healthy, hydrated skin will always provide a smoother base for makeup application and longevity. Start by cleansing the skin with Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup residue. Follow up with the Advanced Night Repair Serum to hydrate and repair the skin, creating a smooth and radiant complexion. Finish with a lightweight moisturiser with SPF to protect the skin from UV damage and provide a natural, dewy finish.
Step 2: Prime your base
Priming the skin helps to create a smooth and even base for makeup application while extending the wear of your makeup throughout the day. This will help to create a smoother, more radiant finish to your makeup. Reach for Estee Lauder's Futurist Peptide Power Serum Primer, a lightweight, hydrating primer that blurs imperfections and creates a flawless canvas for makeup.
Step 3: Apply foundation and concealer
When it comes to foundation for natural, dewy makeup, less is always more. Choose a lightweight, natural-looking foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly, such as Estee Lauder's Futurist SkinTint Serum. Apply the foundation evenly using a makeup sponge or brush, focusing on areas that need extra coverage. Use the Futurist Soft Touch Concealer to conceal blemishes, dark circles, or redness for a flawless base.
Step 4: Enhance the eyes
Define and subtly enhance your eyes for a natural makeup look. Groom and fill in your eyebrows with Estee Lauder's BrowPerfect 3D All-In-One Styler, creating soft and natural-looking brows. Use neutral eyeshadow shades from the Pure Color Envy Luxe Eyeshadow Quad to create a soft and understated eye makeup look. Finish with a coat of Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara to define lashes without clumping.
Step 5: Add a natural flush
Add a natural flush to your cheeks with the Pure Color Envy Blush for a light makeup look, choosing a shade that mimics your natural flush. Apply the blush lightly to the apples of your cheeks for a healthy and radiant glow. Accentuate the high points of your face with the Bronze Goddess Matte + Glow Bronzing Trio, creating a luminous and sun-kissed complexion.
Step 6: Complete with a natural lip
Finish your natural makeup look with a subtle lip colour that enhances your natural lip shade. Choose a lip colour close to your natural lip shade or opt for a tinted lip balm, like the Pure Color Revitalizing Crystal Balm, for a hint of colour and hydration.
Tips for making my makeup look natural
When creating a natural makeup look, remember to opt for light, sheer, and natural-coverage formulas that blend seamlessly into the skin. This helps create a skin-like finish that enhances your natural beauty without looking overdone. Avoid heavy powders, which can appear heavy and cakey on the skin.
Achieving a natural makeup look is all about enhancing your features while maintaining a fresh and effortless appearance. With the right products and techniques, you can create a beautiful and radiant look that celebrates your natural beauty. Experiment with different makeup looks and products to find what works best for your preferences, and embrace the simplicity and beauty of the natural makeup aesthetic.
