Achieving a flawless trough minimal makeup can prove to be challenging for some people but by knowing a few secrets the you will have no problem embracing this makeup style.
The 'no makeup look' was present on all the important runways
this year and it seems that minimalism in all of its forms has
become a leading trend once again. Many women like the minimal
make-up style because it allows them to embrace their natural
beauty, being a great time saver, an important attribute in today's
fast paced world. During the summer time this makeup style is more
than recommended because of the strong tendency towards melting
that make up products have due to the extremely high temperatures.
As an added benefit with minimal makeup the skin will able to
breathe better.
Although the minimal makeup style makes everything look simple and
effortless the truth is that most of the time this makeup style is
more demanding than it would seem at first glance. Generally
speaking, the minimal make-up style is a lot harder to achieve than
a more elaborate makeup style simply because you you have less
options when it comes to hiding imperfections.
A flawless looking skin is the first and perhaps the most important
requirement for those that want to embrace this makeup style. A
well established beauty care routine is the first step we nee to
take in order to be able to create a fabulous minimalist makeup
style.
The daily rituals are extremely important in helping us achieve a
polished look. Cleaning, applying a facial toner suitable for your
skin type and wearing a moisturizer that has SPF included are the
basic steps that must be taken in order to establish a good base
for applying makeup.
After a good base for applying makeup has been created, it's time
to move on to the actual makeup applying process. For the minimal
makeup look you have the choice of using mineral foundation or a
tinted moisturizer or entirely skipping foundation and relying on
three concealers to create the flawless look you desire. The second
option helps you create a more natural look by only camouflaging
only the areas that cause the most problems. You will need three
shades of concealer for different face
zones.
A light shade of concealer for the under eye area, a darker shades
for the cheeks and the forehead and a medium shade for the rest of
the face. Using highlighters is also highly recommended to
emphasize your best facial features from your your eye shape to
your cheekbones as well as your chin. This will help you emphasize
your features in in a really subtle but highly effective way at the
same time. Adding a little blush on the cheekbones for is an
optional step you can take to perk up your look. If you opt for
blush or bronzer make sure that you apply a very thin layer that is
barely visible.
For a natural look when it comes to eye makeup professional makeup
artist recommend using only mascara to emphasize our eyes. Curling
the eyelashes is an absolute must to make our eyes look bigger and
more expressive without the help of additional makeup products.
Applying a coat of transparent mascara will help give the
impression of the ultimate effortless look.
The final thing we need to take care when creating this makeup
style is emphasizing the lips. First, make sure that your lips are
well moisturized by applying a coat of lip balm than apply a coat
of lip gloss for a natural finish that will contribute to an
overall seductive look.
